The Platinum 100 3G is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Monitor Audio, part of the brand's flagship Platinum series, built with an exceptionally wide bandwidth and a demanding impedance. The Platinum 100 3G brings Monitor Audio's most accomplished current engineering to a substantial compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 28Hz to 60,000Hz at -6dB - a remarkable bandwidth exceeding even the Gold 50 6G. Sensitivity is 85dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, matching the Gold 50 6G. Recommended amplifier power spans 75-300W. At 39.8 x 22.5 x 32.56cm and 15.2kg, the Platinum 100 3G's considerable weight for a bookshelf design reflects Monitor Audio's flagship-tier internal driver and cabinet engineering.

Sound and use context

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and wide 75-300W recommended range call for an amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

Monitor Audio's own Gold 50 6G offers a more accessible alternative within a different, more moderate current series.
