Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G

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.
