Trade-focused reviewer Richard Stevenson dives into Monitor Audio's new Climate Series 3G, the latest all-weather range from Monitor Audio suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. In this review, Richard takes a listen to the larger CL2 M model, praising it's clever, installer-friendly features and excellent sound quality.
"Indoors, the CL2 M punch well above their price point if considered a ‘bookshelf’ speaker, driving weighty bass tunes with impressive energy and dynamics."
"Outside, they gain fabulously spacious air and imaging, and the HF doesn’t fade too much with distance from the speaker. Again, the ABR and close-to-wall location deliver decent outdoor bass and richness for music."
"I can’t say I have ever seen a better designed, well-thought-through multi-use speaker – and certainly not one that sounds as good as the CLS2 M at their frankly ludicrous £375 each."
"...the ‘M’ sets the gold standard for affordable indoor / outdoor speakers by a country mile."
