Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G - Floor Standing Speaker - Pair
Punchy bass. A great high and mid-range response. Beautifully crafted looks. It’s not hard to say what makes the Silver 500 7G special, but it is hard to appreciate just what a difference those things make – until, that is, you listen for yourself.
There are plenty of technical innovations in the Silver 500 7G. Rigid Surface Technology II that keeps the sound perfectly clear and controlled even at high volume. A crossover system that balances output from the tweeter and bass driver as needed. A consistent and smooth frequency response that sounds great with all genres of music. They could go on, but you only really need to hear one thing: the first note of your favourite song played on a pair of Silver 500 7G speakers. Then you’ll understand why it’s everything the hardened audiophile could want, and everything the casual listener could need.
Top-tier performance from Monitor Audio
The gorgeous Silver 500 7G is Monitor Audio's top-of-the-line Silver Series speaker. With its modern visual design and updated drivers, it's a feast for the eyes and ears. A pair of them have no trouble filling even large rooms with dynamic, engaging sound. Monitor's recipe for such great performance? The answer lies in the drivers.
Beefy drivers built from upgraded materials
The Silver 500 7G sports a 1" tweeter that uses Monitor's iconic 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 twin 8" woofers aren't shy on bass, providing low frequency extension with surprising authority and rich detail. The single 3" midrange driver handles those tricky frequencies between the lows and highs and ensures they are blended accurately and evenly with the rest.
Both the woofers and the midrange use 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 woofers, midrange, 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.
A gorgeous, solidly built cabinet
Having owned some of Monitor's speakers myself over the years, I can attest that they're sturdy as can be. The Silver 500 7G uses thick MDF (medium-density fiberboard) both to make the speakers more durable and to resist vibrations that are notorious for muddying sound and decreasing sonic accuracy. The finish is eye-catchingly beautiful, and the included magnetic grilles are stylish. The speaker looks great with or without the grille attached.
New molded outrigger and feet for extra stability
The updated outrigger and feet on the bottom of the speaker are a nice touch. They keep it stable and less prone to tipping over, as well as minimizing contact with your floor. Spikes for carpeted floors and rubber pads for hardwood floors are included.
