I have a pair of Nola Metro Grande 2 speakers which I absolutely love.
I am a big fan of ribbon tweeters and these speakers image very nicely even in a constrained placement,
on either side of a fireplace, close to the back wall, and firing the short way across a long room. I am feeding them with a pair
of Ayon Triton monoblocks in triode mode.

I'd love-love-love a Baby Grande but it's size is a bit too large for my living room. ;(

I see that the Metro Grande 2 have been replaced successively by the Metro Grand Gold,
the Metro Grand Gold 2 and, just recently, the Metro Grand Gold 3.
Can anyone here comment on the relative benefits of upgrading from where I am now to something
more recent, the relative differences and benefits of moving up the line, etc?

Thanks
