    GS20s were highly rated and beautifully finished - I'd go a bit more than £400 on them if they're in good nick. They were about £1700 new.

    Hi,I have been using the GS20 for some years now. Very revealing & quite 'Neutral' sounding.A bit monitor like. Ideal with the correct setup & useful when setting up your source as they don't hide much.

    Im interested in gs20 ,how is low frequency of bass..Ist a control bass,or boomy.. Because i got apartment studio about 30 -35 m2, for listen various types of music.All kind orchestral suits, jazz blues, flamenco guitar, sometimes piano.My amplifier is about 8 ohms and 85 w ,on the 4 ohms 125 w.Does have power on the reserve to move forward .And complete control over Monitor Audio ,who is 89 dB on the 6 ohms,150 w RMS.Im not sure.. That is the main reason for my dilemma.Please tell me your experience whit this Roksan Caspian-Monitor audio.

    I think the Caspian and the GS20 will be a good match and your room sounds fine size wise as long as you don't need them right up to the wall as I think they are rear ported?

    I know and I know But Monitor Audios don't tend to hold their value in the UK due to being perceived as bright and harsh. No point paying over the odds.
