I have had the Whites with the update for 2 days, before I have send them for the Gold upgrade to France. I was never really satisfied with the Whites. The update for the Whites improved them a lot, you can hear the difference immediately. For a second I doubt if I should spend a lot of money for the Gold upgrade.
Before I have upgraded I have compared the updated Whites with the KEF LS50w. It was quickly decided that the Kefs would not bring me further.
But after I got the Golds I have forgotten the Whites - the Golds a great and I am happy with them. Although I could not make a direct comparison anymore, I would say that there is still a clear difference. Unlike the whites, I was instantly convinced of the golden ones.
As a first device, I would buy only the golden ones. As a second device, it is ultimately a matter of money.
