Are they the ones with the elliptical EMI drivers? Always wondered if they were any good.

Good speakers, the MA3s. I heard a pair in Audio T West Hampstead when I was listening to some MA5s.
I thought the midrange was particularly good.
I believe they used a B & W driver for the midrange. The same model as used in the B & W D5s.
Now they were nice speakers...

Cripes they're worse than Audio Gold [emoji38]'You mean there's someone out there dearer than Audio Gold?'
In a pensive sweat, Don races to the bathroom cabinet, fumbles for a jar of vallium, and sinks a few tablets in pure desperation...in complete shock, he breaks down in tears....

Just had a peek at Monitor Audio's website..looking at about page, it states that Mo started the company...apparently there were 4 people involved..Mo was the money man... apparently Martin Colloms and Mike Beeney were main players in technical, but can't remember 4th member...
