The performance of a large speaker, now in a much smaller package. The Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G brings studio precision to your living room, in a design optimised to the acoustics of an ordinary home. For you, that means deep bass and stunning sound in a compact shape.

Designed to give you the deep, rich bass extension usually only found in a larger floorstander, the Silver 50 7G bookshelf speakers are an excellent choice when space is at a premium. It’s engineered for the kind of real-world spaces they live in, which means they have optimised the bass for scenarios like being placed close to a wall. With a choice of real-wood veneers, and from Satin White to High Gloss Black, you’ll find the perfect look to fit your home. And most importantly of all, thanks to the new Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II mid-bass driver design, you’ll enjoy pin sharp clarity in every track.

Compact speakers with spacious sound

If space is at a premium in your home, you may think you have to settle for lesser speakers. But Monitor Audio challenges that notion. Their Silver 50 7G bookshelf speakers stand to prove just how good compact speakers can sound. The company's Silver series is now in its seventh generation, and these speakers were built to reproduce room-filling sound without breaking a sweat. They'll do a fine job for your stereo system or home theater setup, especially when paired with a powered subwoofer.

Seventh-generation drivers

The Silver 50 7G speakers sport some impressive technology. Their 1" tweeter uses Monitor's famed gold dome Ceramic-Coated Aluminum Magnesium (C-CAM) material. But this latest version has a new waveguide designed to eliminate as much distortion as possible. The company also revamped the tweeter's magnet for tighter control of the driver, resulting in more detail across its frequency range.

The 5-1/4" mid/bass woofer uses an improved C-CAM cone material featuring Monitor's latest Rigid Surface Technology (RST II) for tighter mid and bass response and better dynamics. There's also an improved crossover system that helps the woofer and tweeter work together better to provide a smooth, non-fatiguing response. That means clearer vocals, more realistic-sounding instruments, and sound you can enjoy for hours on end.

Well-built, stylish cabinets

Having owned some of Monitor's speakers myself over the years, I can attest that they're sturdy as can be. The Silver 50s use thick MDF (medium-density fiberboard) both to make the cabinets more durable and to resist vibrations that muddy sound and decrease sonic accuracy. The finish is eye-catchingly beautiful, and the included magnetic grilles are stylish. But these speakers look fantastic with the grilles off, too.

Placement options

These speakers are small enough to fit on a bookshelf or table, although I would recommend picking up a pair of speaker stands to get the best sound. The included rubber stopper feet prevent the speakers from sliding and help to reduce vibration.
