Monitor Audio Silver Seventh Generation Speaker Range Launched
Monitor Audio Silver Series 7G, eight-model speaker range, launched today.
Monitor Audio's seventh-generation Silver Series loudspeakers are available next month.
First landing in 1999, Monitor Audio's Silver Series is now in its seventh generation (7G) and aims to continue on the range's promise of sound per pound.
The Silver Series 7G features a brand-new design in a choice of five high-quality finishes, along with numerous acoustic innovations and a model line-up extensive enough to cater for every music and home cinema requirement, says the British brand.
The new eight-model range boasts Monitor Audio's new C-CAM gold dome tweeter that sports the new Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II. This, we are reliably informed, makes for lifelike, convincing treble reproduction.
Additionally, you will find the manufacturer's new RST II mid-range and mid/bass drivers said to feature a more rigid profile than ever before. Here a new aluminium alloy improves the tensile strength of the cone while retaining all the benefits - low distortion, high power handling, excellent directivity - of the company's C-CAM technology. So basically, the drivers can go louder for longer without compromise.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have already spotted the hexagonal dimpled structure, which is apparently just one indicator of the cone and geometry structure changes. A new crossover design also results in a smoother, more controlled hand-off to the respective drivers.
Further updates include new driver trims, minimising the appearance of the driver surround and creating a harmonious look as well as some performance benefits, we are told. Meanwhile, the new magnetic grilles have a premium-grade weave, giving visual depth and texture as well as a very tidy appearance, says Monitor Audio.
Every floorstander is supplied with outrigger feet with spun metal trims, developed for absolute stability on carpeted or hard floors. There's also a new Monitor Audio logo.
The available finishes are deeply lustrous high-gloss black lacquer, satin white, or a choice of three real-wood veneers: Ash, Natural Walnut and Black Oak. The Silver FX 7G and Silver AMS 7G Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker is available in High Gloss Black and Satin white only.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
