I have Monitor Audio GX100's which I have rewired with Spatia link cable. £24 very well spent as it tamed the silver sheen so the ribbon tweeters sound even better.

The GX100's are on second hand Partington Dreadnought stands and I have a REL Q400 subwoofer to fill in the really low stuff.

Powered by GSP Proprius amps which are simply sublime.

These test results may be of interest if you also have MA GX100's:

SSN test results for GX100

I found they went lower than expected when I was blending in my subwoofer. I had expected a fast drop off as the reflex contribution dropped away, i.e. -24dB/octave. They seem to go lower and these curves suggest the 42Hz bottom end is -10dB, perhaps the upper end of 60kHz is also. The latter would require the help of a young bat with good hearing...

I can only guess how my speakers would test after swapping out the silver-plated internal wiring and links for Spatia hookup wire. They are less trebly on or just off axis, and they sound better to me.
