I will say the new Kanta's look bloody amazing. As in, good enough that you almost don't have to care how they sound. (There was a time I never thought that way but I've grown into an A-D-U-L-T unfortunately).
I will say that Monitor Audio doesn't get all the credit it deserves. Because their designs are utilitarian and they have a lot of models they can often get overlooked for others that have a bit more pizzazz or something "Fresher" feeling. A good example was a few years' back when Robert Deutsch reviewed the Platinum 300 Mk 2 and basically said they smoked the brand new Wilson Sabrina's he was using as his reference for a few months. In the very next issue the Sabrina's won loudspeaker of the year award. (?????)
Whatever the price point, it's worth listening to the Monitors and seeing what you think honestly.
Unless of course you want something that looks good. Then get the Kanta's and FTW.
I think you're spot on about Monitor Audio.
If some people who think that all MAs sound harsh actually listened without prejudice they could understand that their opinion is outdated.
