Key Features
"Monitor Audio offers surround sound speaker packages to suit just about every pocket and they're all crowd-pleasers but this fifth-gen Gold system truly is a class act ."
Monitor Audio Gold Series has been designed and developed to give a truly entertaining and enthralling experience, and when the speakers are placed in a 5.1 configuration, performance levels are taken to new heights.
Movies will leap into life and the listener will be completely immersed in the extraordinary audio reproduction. The deep rumbles of an action film will be delivered by the muscular Gold W12 subwoofer, whilst the Gold FX speaker will add a sparkle to every musical score. And, most importantly, the Gold series has been designed to ensure that no detail is lost, and through the Gold C250, the dialogue can be easily and clearly distinguished from the rest of the soundtrack.
The multi-speaker Gold 5.1 system brings cinema into the home and its absorbing and vibrant surround sound performance will delight every audience.
