Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G Bookshelf Speakers Gloss Black

A beautifully crafted bookshelf speaker that’s a leap beyond the ordinary. Featuring Rigid Surface Technology and a tweeter design, it’s built to eliminate distortion wherever possible. So even when you push it to the limit, it remains clear and controlled.
Imagine a bookshelf speaker that gives you richer sound and deeper bass than your old floorstander. That’s what the Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G is capable of. On the outside, a choice of real-wood veneers lets you achieve the perfect look. Inside, a plethora of technologies come together, including metal coned drivers with Rigid Surface Technology, a tweeter design and a crossover system that intelligently combines the tweeter and bass driver. If all that just sounds like noise to you, don’t worry. You’ll hear the difference the moment you press play.

The Silver 100 7G Limited Edition stands out with a gorgeous silk and green lacquer finish, gold-coloured diaphragm on the 20 cm C-CAM midwoofer, and a gold-plated plate on the back showing which of the 999 pairs produced you have acquired.

The speakers are by no means among the smallest bookshelf speakers. With a height of just over 37 cm and a depth of over 33 cm, they take up a lot of shelf space. You usually do well with the rubber feet the speakers come with, and if you’re placing them close to the back wall, you can dampen the excessive bass with foam plugs gently pushed into the bass reflex port on the back.

Speaking of the latest, i.e. seventh generation of Silver speakers, the green speakers contain Monitor Audio’s most modern drivers. Here is 20 cm midwoofer with Monitor Audio’s second-generation Rigid Surface Technology – RST II. It’s characterised by the small indented pits in the aluminium alloy of the cone. The purpose is to stiffen the diaphragm without adding weight, and prevent it from breaking up and distorting.
The tweeter below the grille above features Monitor Audio’s Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II. It has been upgraded with a compression ring that dampens distortion and increases the unit’s sensitivity. Monitor Audio has also improved the magnet structure, created a grill design in a hexagonal pattern, and inserted a vented rear chamber that releases unwanted energy behind the diaphragm, providing a smoother frequency response.
