Based on your review, I got a pair of these and have been listening all week. They're everything you said they were! Amazing detail and soundstage precision. I would have never known about these without your coverage. Thank you!!!

Ive watched dozens of your reviews, even back to when you worked at the dealer...and ive NEVER heard you with a lack of words before! You always manage to articulate your feelings. This is a first! Id really like to hear these speakers in my system! It will never happen, because they are way beyond my financial ability. The way that they affected you really interests me! Thank you for your excitement!!

This was a very thoughtful and emotive review. I can feel your passion for these speakers. I would very much like to hear them for myself ....but I don't think that is going to happen. Still, I love your in-depth reviews. :)

Jay - you rock - amazing review - keep it up

I Love your reviews! Would love to see the new MoFi Sourcepoint 8 speakers compared to these. Thanks for keeping us up to date in this jungle of good sounding speakers!

Lovely design😮 love to hear the sound for real!!

interesting looking speakers Jay... (glad you are reviewing the audio note - and the ankit gear too :) )

Great review , as someone who has made a few speakers I am impressed by the design .

Such a great review. Entertaining and informative,

Fantastic I dropped back in at a good time! Very nice.

That's why you should use the Townshend podiums underneath any speaker, the podiums isolate down to three hz, most significant upgrade you can make to your system, the sound improvement is as if you upgraded your electronics to something more expensive.

The Platimon are a work of art!

Excellent review!

That is amazing at 16:12 . Highly interesting way of vibration control. Most impressive

Terrific review! Very tempting. My question is whether you will buy and keep it as one of your reference speakers. That is always the highest praise a reviewer can give a product.

I heard these at FL and AXPONA. And agree that they are surprisingly good.

Would love to hear these some day. I would also like to hear your thoughts on that Pure Fidelity Harmony TT behind you! I’m shopping around for a TT upgrade and the Harmony is one of the top on my list. But I still haven’t auditioned one yet.

it is so hard to find something actually made in Korea! thanks for the review.

Thank you ( once more ) for a detailed and well exposed review

Wow, the review really touched me.. Platimon is worth the price.

Thanks for another great review. How do vocals sound on these speakers? Would they be good for someone who listens to a lot of acoustic singer/songwriter type of music? Or do you think the Q Acoustics 300 or one of the Arendal speaker models would be better for that type of music? Thanks!

Thanks jay I really enjoy your videos I learn alot keep up the good work young man my name is Glen

Did you try them with your ADG Audion's? I purchased a pair of those right after hearing your review and couldn't be happier. Just like you I was blown away from the first. Using them with my Focal Sopra 2's. I also just did a second upgrade that produced another whole level of listening pleasure; the PS Audio CD transport coupled to my Holo May DAC. All my old CD sound great and DSD's are magical. I think Paul's "Air Lens" really does work as advertised. PS: I am thinking of these speakers for use in my vacation condo and love the fact you mentioned they sound great at lower levels. Looking forward to your review on the Brunoco. Sounds like the perfect setup for me. Thanks for another great review.

Great review, it's really exciting to find out Kore is producing these kind of audiophile speakers.

Hi Jay - Great review. These speakers have piqued my interest. Any thoughts on running them with the Galion?

Hi Jay, thank you for all your video's. I really love them. What I was thinking about is following: Every person has a different hearing. I would really like to compare my hearing with you. What if you would make a video in which you select a number of music/songs and then explain what you hear soundwise. Then I (and the other people) can hear and compare what you hear and what I hear. Off course... every system plays music different, but lets only focus on our differences comparing what we hear. Are you in? Greetings and kind regards. Paul

@jayiyagi Thanks for this nice find! I remember that you were very enthusiastic about the Dynaudio Heritage. How do these compare?

Jay, after watching this video and seeing how much you love this speaker: do you think this size of speaker is the best for imaging of the soundstage? I’m trying to choose between an open baffle with 15inch drivers, or something similar to this with 15inch subs - would love to hear your take as you have had some pretty big floor standers in your room 🤔

Hi Jay, I have the Platimon speakers and enjoy their sound quality. I've tried both the SPL crossover and now the JLAudio CR-1 crossover to a pair of +2 Linkwitz open baffle bass speakers, but the Platimon's are good enough for the music I listen to and my space. I'm a near-field listener, so don't play that loud. I am considering returning to the Platimon's without a subwoofer, but I am now wondering about the power amp. The AGD is good, and I have it. The Bruno would be a new purchase; I don't know anything about that company. I'm using a Bricasti M12 DAC and AGD Temp diGan stereo amplifier and the Platimon's. Would the Bruno amp that you have be a more excellent combination? I've never used 6L6 tubes in an amp (I like 45 tubes compared to 300B or 2A3, but I need more power for the Platimon speakers). I see the AGD mono amps in your review space, so I ask what you think of those connected to the Platimons. You have them and didn't mention them in your review, so I'm assuming they differed from the match you were looking for. You probably connected them, but who knows.

Aluminium is cold indeed, just as glass or stone. But MDF is equally bad because it sucks the life out of music. Maybe this is the best way to build a box speaker. They really look awesome 😊 (No SCREWS visible🎉) Hope to hear them in the future.

I have just upgraded my sound system so I usually watch reviews of much more expensive stuff than mine with no regrets .Till now, they sound like what I have always dreamt of .😟

The sommelier of audio reviews. I appreciated the active sound wave graphic.

The frequency response reminds me a little of some Sony speakers. 100Hz 1kHz 10kHz rises. It does lend itself to a sound that can be intriguing

Screw hifi reviews - you're the next K-Drama star!

Great review as usual. Are the bottom of the speakers flat or do they have cups to fit the ball bearings like the top of the stand?

@15:28 Please show us the measurements that you speak of, I'd love to see a horizontal and vertical directivity chart to see how it stacks up to the KEFs and Genelec coaxial designs.

As a 35 yr veteran speaker designer, this was a hoot! 😂

60hz is about where directivity ends for the ear & stereo image ( left & right make sense) I do it on all my systems and start the SUB below 60hz

Hi Jay, could you please review the latest bookshelf from Piega ? ( 411 model )

How does this compare with your all-time favorite speaker - Electa Amator III?

Do the speaker cables impact the warmth of these speakers? I love warm-ish speakers, and the manufacturer seems to suggest the Sanctus cables...I wam wonder if that is a very special combination, or whether there are speaker cables that work magically with these speakers? What speakers did you use Jay?

Jay, have you paired it with the Kinki ex-b7 mono blocks or with the ex-m1+ integrated. I’m looking at that pairing with a Lumin S1 streamer Dac that is known for being a very musical unit. Wondering what your thoughts if you have paired them together is or if you think it would be a good synergy if you haven’t but from your experience.

Jay, what are your thoughts about the Mini Monitor p;us sub as compared to theses speakers?

I was surprised they only offer a 2-year warrantee on a passive speaker especially at this price point. 5 years is standard.

I thought you were going to say something in the region of the Borresen 01 at a jaw dropping $55000 yes you are reading that right it has that many zeros and is that good. So these are let's say budget in comparison. I'd love to hear them!!!

How do you compare the Platimon sound to that of the Mon Mini? Also, did you try them with your Purifi NAD C298/Terminator Plus combo? Would that be too “hyperdetailed”? 😮 Very interesting videos on both the designer and his speakers. Thanks.

Goated video here

Nice design

Interesting speaker Jay. I'm not sure if you are excited or overly nervous in the review, so I was puzzled most of the time while viewing it.

Will the platimon pair well with Vincent audio SV-237MKII and Hegel h390 amplifiers? Or which solid state amplifiers will you recommend? Thanks

Hello Jay , One question , When looking for representation, i cannot find an original website , only the us website ! Do they not have an original brand website ? Thank you ,. I am trying to find the price in Europe .

I have yet to hear an AMT tweet that I love but will continue the search

the description is very similar for me when I'm listening to Canton Reference line speakers

You ever heard Hedd Audio's 3-way models? They have very well implemented AMTs. To this day, I haven't heard a better speaker.

Great reviw. It is more likely an art piece, i could feel the philosophy, so called 'janginjungsin'

The new Borresen Acoustics X3 and X6's are the best kept secrets on the world market right now 😇😍Game-Changer Indeed

So these pair well with the Hegel H390?

I always thought that the best way to reduce speaker cabinet vibration is to anchor it to something heavy and stable like concrete slab under flooring.

How does the Brunoco sound with the Arendal 1723?

They would be perfect in my bedroom as a second system.

Would love Wharfdale Elysian 4 reviews!

i knew South Korea had something special when i heard some of the demos of their speakers in music shows

What's that moonshine bottle on top of that amp ? Ohh thats Tube wth is going on ! 😆 Thanks Jay Waveguide looks very interesting But $6500 is a hit ! I do like bass extenstion in a standmount spkr normally not as bloated sounding as 'most tower' speakers ' Espically from the rooms Bass Nulls

How much of a difference is there between these and the supermon mini? Especially if you add a high quality sub to the minis? Do they some close or is there a fairly large difference?

Jay, what do you think is the optimal hight (in cm or mm) from a floor for AMT, planar or ribbon tweeters that usually have limited vertical radiation patterns?

Every time i hear this review ( a few by now) i think ...o.k. i really had always a think for monitors , i love a good soundstage and imaging , I think i am going to have and search if these are represented where i live .

Man, I'm a sucker for ribbons. When applied well, it's the only tech I've heard that's very detailed while being easygoing and effortless. I've yet to hear a dynamic speaker up to at least 30k USD that has better treble than ribbons. Beryllium comes close, but I can still tell it's a metal dome. Soft domes are great, but not nearly as detailed and quick. Didn't hear any planars yet (PS audio?).

The way you describe the soundstage it sounds like you’re describing a panel speaker

Lol, best intro ever.

It's wonderful to see South Korea do so well in the hifi arena.

Where are the AMTs sourced? My ELAC Vela 409s sound great.

I am afraid the ball bearing design sounds completely nuts. The speakers would start to swing with every impulse thus naturally distorting impulse reproduction. You could equally hang the speakers on a cord from the ceiling.

That Frequency Response looks like Hercules Poirot's mustache in the movie "Murder in the Orient Express". It feels like there is some sort of murder here too but this time the mustache will not help.

Hi 👋 Can you give me some good Korean brands Stereo amplifier and speakers name. I have a Cocktail audio DAC with Streamer N 25 made in Korea. I am very happy with this. Waiting for your reply. Thanks 🙏

There are no resellers in Europe?

High end audio products coming from South Korea is foreign for the North American market and it looks like we are missing out big time. Need them to be brought here. Always sucks that it’s such a niche market.

If you get somewhat fatigued using tube amps, that begs the question of what it sounds like with solid state. Any review must include solid state amps in addition to tubes.

Speakers . . . the perfect date for a date night . . .

It's like resonance bit with rizz.

Is the intro song your voice?

This or Dynaudio Heritage? Mostly listen to rock/prog/metal

vs perlisten s5 m???

This year we will come out with and a new soundpanel with wood.

Lmao at that intro. Good stuff

How to hear cabinet resonance

What was making those speakers sound bad was the type of music you were playing

The leather damping material eliminates this speaker from being purchased by anyone who's a vegan.

South Korea and Taiwan make fantastic products those often underrated by self appointed forum gurus.

Fink Teams AM's: Kim, Borg or even Epos ES14n without AMT are smoking these puppies.

YG uses aluminum for the enclosure and they sound great and priced WAY higher. Love the engineering on this speaker, including the ball bearing built into the stand. Would love to hear them, THANKS JAY!

You get all the sweet toys! 😡😆 Not crazy about the name. This level of hi-fi drives me buggy though, love the quality, hate the price.

low volume champs, I like :) 83 - 84 dB sensitive, I don't like so much :\

I'm interesting to see how this speaker is objectively evaluated. I've heard a lot of speakers that sound pleasant and musical...but are not a transparent lens, perfectly projecting the source without any coloration.

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." Or something to that effect. One of those pesky laws of physics. With that in mind, I'd forego the ball bearings in favour of spikes. Every push of the drivers will move the cabinets in the opposite direction. I took measurements of my centre channel on its stand, which had spiked feet and then swapped them for castors. Same stand. Guess which measured cleaner? Those bearings will muddy the sound, even if only minutely. Will one notice? Who knows. But why spend all that effort and money just to take a step backwards?

Wow thought £5300 certainly not cheap

Better than Wharfdale 🤔

Count the “little bits”.

I guess you haven't tested the monitor audio platinum G3 which will absolutely destroy these speakers.

People in America have no idea how “behind the times” they are as a civilization. We’re like barbarians compared to other nations. Wealthiest country in human history with a piss poor citizen experience compared to other civilized nations. APAC has it going on and as a consumer I’d love to access more products from these nations.
