The new Monitor Audio Bronze 5’s have just arrived in the store and although they have yet to be run in, the immediate impression is that these will be significantly better than the BX5’s they replace...

The Audio Video industry is infamous for being a boys’ club. Fully paid up members even have there own code. So when the guys gather and whisper the acronym ‘WAF’ they all know what each other means.

Since 1999 Monitor Audio has had various incarnations of their Silver series. Through various model changes and evolutions, it has always remained a paragon of awesome HiFi. It occupies a very comfortable place on the cost vs quality graph, being a very reasonable speaker range with fantastic performance. All this and it manages to look damn good at the same time. Ditching superfluous "RX" letters in the model name, the new Silver 6 lives up to it's legacy with improvements in almost all areas. Come, listen, enjoy.

It remains the single most requested piece of information at the beginning of a clients' consortation with a product; ”Where is it made?”

For me the home shows in Jeff's shed are a biannual purgatory where the company locks me in away from sunlight and beer in this huge hanger like building.
