#64 Monitor Audio Silver RX1: $675 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G, ranked higher, estimated 4.2/5.
Pros: A two-way standmount with a 6” RST mid/bass and 1” C-CAM gold dome tweeter. The only Spinorama data shows a smooth predicted in-room response (0.76) and bass to 64.4Hz (-3dB), for a preference score of 5.34 that reaches 7.80 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 64.4Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That data is low quality and shows an uneven on-axis response (1.02dB average deviation). It is long discontinued; Monitor Audio’s current equivalent is the Silver 50 8G.
How it compares: Just above it: Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G - $1625 more, 2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Wharfedale EVO 5.2 - $624 more, 1Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
