Monitor Audio's six-model Gold Series 6G speaker range builds on over thirty years of Gold Series heritage and boasts new cone technology, drivers, and a completely new design.

Hexagonal Diaphragm Technology (HDT) is Monitor Audio's new metal cone tech. It draws on the lessons learned in creating the RDT III cones for the Hyphn and its flagship Platinum Series 3G. HDT adds a hexagonal pattern to the cone's Nomex honeycomb and aluminium sandwich and carbon fibre skins to disrupt symmetries in the cone breakup, according to the manufacturer, resulting in a cone that shifts the frequency up by 10% compared to that of the Silver Series 7G.

This new tech is used across the range and features in the new 3-inch mid-frequency driver, the 6-inch bass-mid unit, and 6- and 8-inch bass drivers.

Naturally, the company's C-CAM tech is also employed, strengthening the cone and making it less prone to fatigue.

Further innovations are presented via a new version of Monitor Audio's MPD III (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) transducer used in the Hyphn and Platinum Series. This, we're told, provides precise high frequencies with more consistency, clarity, and accuracy, while the crossovers have been optimised for in-room performance.

Monitor Audio also adds that the cabinets are more rigid than ever and, thanks to a top trim on the 100 and 500 models, the MPD III high-frequency transducer sits higher, which optimises cabinet edge diffraction, they say. MA claims this will deliver consistent and precise imaging across the frequency range.

Finally, a man-made ebony veneer finish has been added to satin white and gloss black choices. This option apparently offers the same lustre as the real thing but with a lesser carbon footprint.

The range-topping floorstander is the Gold 500 6G, while the more petite and slender Gold 300 6G is fitted with two smaller 6-inch bass drivers compared to the 500's 8-inch duo. Both are equipped with 3-inch midrange units. The Gold 100 6G is a three-way standmounter with a 3-inch mid and 8-inch woofer and is joined by the Gold 50 6G compact bookshelf model featuring a 6-inch mid/bass driver and offered with optional ST-2 Stands (£550/ €675). Meanwhile, the wall-mounted Gold On-Wall 6G offers surround options alongside the Gold C250 6G compact three-way centre-channel speaker.
