High-End Bargain? Platimon Review! 

Very interesting, curious and fantastic review. It seems like a great product for the price. I enjoyed it. thanks

I am a person who uses Platymon in Korea. It matches what I felt when I used it I saw a good video, so I'll subscribe to the channel. Let's watch the next review

Great review, Nemo. They go down to 35hz on long port side. That makes them 35hz to 28000hz speakers. What a truly amazing speakers from the size.

This is cool looking and awesome sound

Please keep going off topic! It’s the character of this channel.

Sounds like you’ve answered my discord question…. I don’t need monoblocks, I need a pair of Platimon’s to improve on my Heco Celans sound. Ha ha ha! I’m such a sucker for an aluminium speaker too! 😅

Great review Nemo. Fantastic that these perform superbly at both low and high volume. This is what I'm looking for and it's not so easy to find. What about directivity? Is the good sound preserved as you move about the room or is the "sweet spot" on the narrow side?

Dayamm.....now I want these :). They look gorgeous. Very tough to find a bookshelf with 91db sensitivity - only seen mini-towers in that range. Since these are more resolving in the mid to upper frequencies I'm guessing it would pair nicely with a tube amp or my Bakoon Amp-13R (only 50wpc @4ohm) to add some body. I tried the supermon mini, but ultimately just want a simple setup 2 channel setup without requiring a sub. These might be what I was looking for....might pull the trigger. Similar in size to the Buchard S400MK2, except 3 inches taller.

So being an objective and subjective guy (I stand in the middle), I checked out the frequency response of this Platimon VC One provided by Mon Acoustics. Looking at the graph it looked rather flat, until I saw the scale of the graph. There are 10db dips and peaks all over the critical midrange area which show this is one heavily voiced speaker, which coincides with all the interviews with the designer of this speaker that Ive watched. Great for people who buy what sounds great to them, a nightmare for people that value accuracy. Being someone that stands in the middle of the objective and subjective crowd, I can still accept 2 or 3db of 'voicing' variations but 10db and more is just too far out my objective comfort zone. Again, I dont know how accurate the graph is but it is provided by Mon Acoustics themselves.

Wow incredible review! Good to know you don't have to spend a fortune for this quality. Could you check out and consider reviewing, the Musician Audio Knight 1 speakers?

Should compare them, if you can, with a pair of Acelec model one. The Acelec model one also has a AMT tweeter, great bass driver (one of the most linear midwoofers available) and a CNC aluminum enclosure. Price and performance are, in my opinion, on par.

Nice review, make me want to hear them 😉

Amazing review. And I believe everything you said!

Another amazing review

They look awesome.

Great review. Thanks for sharing.

I always hear the size of the box and for me, bigger is better, all things being equal. At that price, Tekton MOABs are what I would buy. My speaker boxes are 6' x 2' x 1'.

From what I can hear, I'll bet everything I love that you will buy these speakers, no ifs or buts. Bet?

I got so lucky a few months ago. I have been into audio from 13 years old. I have never had lots of thousands of money and if I did, I need to spend it on other thing like a newer car. So moving on , I picked up a pair of used ATC Boxer speaker untested off ebay. I picked them up from Real world studios. They had been in storage for some years. So they are unchanged as in everything is as it was and working perfect. Yes these are fairly old 33 to 35 years old. The down sides to this pair of speakers are, that they are big, ugly and extremely heavy. like need a forklift truck heavy. 4 stereo amps and crossovers are needed. But hay man, what a pair of speakers. I purchased them with the sole intention of selling them on as is or making new boxes for what works. I can not bring myself to part with them. They belong in a nigh club, a Hotel a pub, a venue because they are f+++ing loud. They also don't bother you when turned up. All of the midrange is fantastic. So here is were I am. Even if I had 10.000 grand for a pair of speaker and another 10,000 grand for amps and other equipment and I got some new stuff, I'm not convinced it will sound that much better if even at all. Another owner said the same thing. These speakers will give very expensive modern day speakers a run for there money. I love them very much.

Great run down!! Happy Saturday NEMO.. 🥰🥰

Excellent!!!!

Good morning! Been watching a lot of your vids, and I can say that you are probably the best speaker reviewer on youtube! Need a Small bit of advice. I’m running just a 2 channel setup with two Kef q550’s. Looking to get a sub to provide some bass. I mainly listen to music and only watch the odd movie. Could you recommend a smaller sub that is going to give me some tight , natural sounding bass. Any advice will be highly appreciated! And thank you , keep up the awesome work!!

Great review. As a novice to the hobby, I've been to a few audio shows and every time my favorite has a AMT. Can you explain why?? And can you get a speaker company called audiovector to review please.

I hope one day you’ll be able to review the Perlisten R5M, which is a similar looking unit and price. Very curious to get your thoughts on a brand that is so hyped up by youtubers.

Hey Nemo, I’m building my next system and have selected the Platimon as my next speaker and also the Kinki ex-b7 mono blocks to power them - so watching your video about synergy gives me relief. It will be paired up to a Lumin S1 streamer/Dac. Wondering if you could talk more about sound characteristics and synergy compared to the Gallion amplifier, as I look at that previously before setting on the mono blocks.

So I guess you are now a convert to a good AMT tweeter? They are amazing when done well, I now own the new Martin Logan XT F100 and they are an amazing full range speaker in every way. Cheap for under $5k out the door with incredible build quality and performance. i just need a better amp to run them. BTW great review of what seems like an amazing pair of speakers

Excellent review. Wondering how this might pair with my Luxman L-509X....

Hello nemo, what a good analysis you did, thank goodness you didn't destroy the kanta 1 that were your favorites and I want to buy them hahahaha, but I understand perfectly what you mean by sound quality, hopefully one day I can buy them, how is it with the recordings? Indulgent picky eater? or admit everything? Greetings from Chile.

The stands are now a $2,000 US option.

looks like my arendal 1061 monitors, close enough :P MTM can do amazing things just saying.

I think Focal’s prices in North America are significantly higher than Europe. This speaker is about 4000-5000 euros I believe. I also think Focal has had several prices increases since they were acquired by a PE firm. It looks like the Mon acoustics is where real value lies and Focal,while good, isnt a real value proposition.

I still think that either the Fritz Carbon7 or Carrara will be my next purchase, because I really want to experience a series crossover. Out of sheer masochistic curiosity though, would you put the performance of the Carbon7 (especially the mid-range) closer to the Heco Celan or the Platimon?

Thanks!

Have you had an opportunity to hear Heco BellaDonna? Got to listen to them at Audio Advice. Curious how Platimon stacks up vs them. What about Source Point 10 vs Platimon?

Your reviews make me want to spend more money. 😀

sounds like I need to borrow those

Nice!

These or Dynaudio Heritage? And would a Rotel Michi X3 be good enough? Thanks!

May have missed it Nemo but did you test the performance close to a boundary?

I would rather have heard them.

Is there a resolving speker that´s dynamic and engaging under 1.000 (or maybe around that), which is not fatiguing? Still searching.

Hey did you sound proof your room? To reduce sound leaks in and out

Super impressive set for the price point.

What would you say is a fair/ good price for a used rel t5i in good condition?

I really like them but made in the US with parts from Germany 🤔 No it is not my combination 🤢

👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯

These or Fritz carbon 7

Say im upgrading from the s400 mk2.... what should i expect?

✌🏼👽☮️❤️

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫡
