Gold 300 is the pinnacle of the range. Its deceptively large cabinet houses a 2½" (64 mm) C-CAM mid-range driver with a MPD high-frequency transducer above and a pair of 8" (203 mm) RDT II bass drivers below, in a true three-way arrangement.
+
The Platinum 300 3G, the flagship of the Platinum Series, represents the absolute pinnacle of what is achievable at its price-point in terms of both performance and design. The combination of the innovative new MPD III transducer and the RDT III mid-range and bass driver cones, allows the speaker to deliver exceptional scale and depth. With a totally immersive soundstage and believably lifelike performance, 300 3G’s presentation of music and film is astonishing. The Platinum 300 3G’s expertly crafted design and innovative acoustic system performance, ensures that it will remain relevant for a lifetime.
 
 
Also featuring a pair of rear-facing HiVe II ports delivering smooth airflow and ample bass reinforcement, Gold 300 is the ideal speaker for larger rooms. Its punch and dynamism are matched only by its subtlety and fidelity – Gold 300’s effortless authority, from a crisp 50 kHz at the top end to an earth-moving 30 Hz at the bottom, makes it perfect for any and all listening requirements.
