Monitor Audio Mass 5.1

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has bought or tried/ listened to a set of Monitor Audio Mass 5.1 speakers. They appear to be newly released this quarter and I'm looking to buy some due to them being reasonably priced and the positive reviews they have received.
Their smaller stylish size also helps due to the amount of space I have to work with when placing the rears.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has anything to say about them.

Thanks

For the price point they are quite good, I've heard them at a couple of shows and they hold their own. Quite weight speakers though.

If you can stump up an extra couple of hundred look at the B&W MT-50, they'll blow the Mass away.

Thanks. I have been looking at them also, unfortunately they are hard to find. I can get the MA Mass speaker w/ a Yamaha RXV673 amp for £1000, but as the B&Ws are harder to find I would have to buy them separate to the AV which would then cost me around £1500. Are the B&Ws that much better?

Thanks

Yes.
