#94 Monitor Audio Silver 500 8G: $4,000.00 per pair Estimated Audio Advice eBay
Older model: the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G (ranked higher, estimated 4.5/5).
Same family: the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.2/5), the Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G (larger bookshelf, estimated 4.1/5), the Monitor Audio Silver 300 8G (smaller floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 4.2/5) and the Monitor Audio Silver Centre 8G (center, estimated 4/5).
Pros: The largest Silver 8G tower, with two 8” C-CAM bass drivers, a dedicated 3” C-CAM midrange and a 25mm Gold Dome tweeter (crossovers at 640Hz and 2.8kHz). The rear port is tuned to 33Hz and bass reaches 28Hz (-6dB) in-room, sensitivity is 90dB and peak output is 119dB, so it fills a large room.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Silver 50 7G (a 5.40 Spinorama preference score) and the 8G range. The impedance falls to 3.6 ohms near 2kHz.
