Special Limited Edition Metallic Black Finish for Those Who Demand the Extraordinary
Imagine a bookshelf speaker that gives you richer sound and deeper bass than your old floorstander. That's what the Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G is capable of. A plethora of technologies come together, including metal coned drivers with Rigid Surface Technology, a new tweeter design, and a new crossover system that intelligently combines the tweeter and bass driver. You'll hear the difference the moment you press play.
And most importantly of all, thanks to the new Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II mid-bass driver design, you'll enjoy pinpoint clarity in every track.
The Silver 100 7G has a 1" C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter with Uniform Dispersion (UD) Waveguide II for more lifelike sound and an 8" C-CAM mid-bass driver with Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II for extra clarity. Rear-ported and tuned for ease of positioning without affecting sound performance, this speaker is perfect for smaller stereo music set-ups, or as front/rear channels in smaller home theater systems. Bookshelf-friendly, it comes with rubber stopper feet.
Limited Edition Elegance and Sonic Perfection
A statement of style and sonic perfection, the Silver Series 100 Limited Edition blends refined aesthetics with breathtaking audio performance. Finished in an exclusive Carbon Black Metallic finish, it exudes sophistication while delivering the signature clarity, depth, and precision that define the Silver Series.
Crafted for true music lovers and audiophiles, these limited-edition speakers unveil every nuance with effortless detail - whether through the commanding presence of the Silver 300 7G Limited Edition floorstanders or the compact yet powerful Silver 100 7G Limited Edition standmount speakers.
Available in strictly limited numbers, these are not just speakers - they’re collectibles for those who demand the extraordinary.
"Absolutely Gorgeous"
The Silver 100 7G won a prestigious "Best Bookshelf Speaker of 2023" award from Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity. Reviewer Taps Das call it "a two-way bookshelf loudspeaker that sounds as big as you would hope it would. A speaker that is absolutely gorgeous in design. A speaker that brings a smile to my face whenever I have it connected. A speaker that might very well take up permanent residence in my home."
"There's texture to instruments, and space within the mix for the reverbs that dictate much of the atmosphere. While nailing a recording's ambience is high on the Silvers' 'to-do' list, at no point do we feel we're sacrificing resolution: these are very much the hi-fi speakers Monitor Audio promised at the outset," reports What Hi-Fi?, which honored the Silver 100 7G with a to rating of Five Stars. "But it is the punch and dynamic expression that sets these standmounters apart from most of the pack."
Applause Award
"All in all, I have come away hugely impressed with Monitor Audio's new Silver 100 and could happily live with a pair," reports James Michael Hughes in a January 18, 2022 review that handed the Silver 100 a stereonet.com Applause Award.
"It can handle rhythm and timing very well. Many a loudspeaker costing a great deal more would be embarrassed by just how good the Monitor Audio design is."
"It delivers an easy, clean and refined sound that's largely tonally natural, clear, and very detailed. Bass is surprisingly full and deep, given the small size of the enclosure, and the speaker can play remarkably loudly without sounding muddy or congested. So what's not to like?"
"Big, Authoritative Sound… Well Worth the Extra Money"
"It should be clear by now that I liked the Silver 100. A lot. They look fabulous, are well built and have a big, authoritative sound that majors on clarity and precision, but that also delivers nuance well. They're a quantum leap over the Silver 50, well worth the extra money, writes Phil Wright, hifistarters.club.com, February 7, 2023.
"Overall the Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G is an unqualified success, with a sound that gives more than a hint of major league HiFi. Bravo!"
The Seventh Generation Silver Series
Ever since the Monitor Audio Silver Series was introduced in 1999, it has set standards where performance, finish and value for money are concerned. And with the new seventh generation, Monitor Audio has put even more distance between the Silver Series and its nominal competition. The seventh generation of the Silver Series features a brand-new, contemporary design in a choice of five high-quality finishes, numerous acoustic innovations and a model line-up extensive enough to cater for every music and home theater requirement.
New Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II Driver Design
The New Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II Driver uses an aluminum alloy that improves the tensile strength of the cone while retaining all the benefits of Monitor Audio's C-CAM technology – low distortion, high power handling, excellent directivity. Drivers can go louder for longer without compromise.
New C-CAM Tweeter Design
A completely new magnet structure and rear chamber design are among the invisible improvements to the new C-CAM Tweeter Design. The new Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II and compression ring are much more visible now. And the end result of the extensive redesign is thrillingly clean and accurate treble response.
New Crossover Design
Splitting the incoming signal between tweeter and mid/bass driver is an art in and of itself. Monitor Audio's new crossover design for the Seventh Generation Silver Series works sympathetically with the drivers to deliver perfect tonal balance.
New Tweeter and Driver Trims
By minimizing the appearance of the mid/bass driver surround, and by making a feature of the tweeter protection dispersion pattern, both the look and the performance of the speaker is enhanced.
New Cabinet Design and Finishes
Crisply drawn edges define the new Silver Series 7G cabinets, and the choice of five luxurious finishes, including three real-wood veneers, creates a look that's both contemporary and timeless.
"Treats Music Like a Celebration"
"I have reviewed many speakers under £1,000, some of which are of a similar size to the Silver 100s but none of them have been quite as fun as the Silver 100s," reports Paul Rigby, theaudiophileman.com, June 23, 2023.
"That 8” mid-bass unit is primarily to blame for that fun. There is something wholly old-fashioned about this sound – but in a good way. Something distinctly 70s like in the sound. It’s big, powerful and packed with wonderful detail. The Monitor Audio Silver 100s treat music like a celebration."
Best Buy Award Winner
"We have here a compact loudspeaker that’s capable of delivering a refined sound, fairly neutral in its balance, free from unwanted aberrations and audibly clean and detailed. There is good integration between the drive units and, the ability to discard both the grilles and port plugs means it can be tuned for a wide variety of acoustic settings," notes Trevor Butler, the-ear.net, September 14, 2022, honoring the 100 7G with a Best Buy Award.
"The bass performance was way better than one might expect from an enclosure of this size, it goes deeper and plays louder than I had first imagined. Stereo imaging is to a high standard and the reproduced soundstage is far wider and deeper than is often achieved at this price point."
"I Can’t Recommend Them Strongly Enough"
"Petite floorstander performance at a standmount price is the catchphrase that comes to mind in summing up the Silver 100 7G’s attributes," raves Andy Waite, audiograde.uk, March 1, 2024.
"As a model aimed at mid-priced systems, what really marks them out is how versatile and unfussy they are in terms of positioning for most homes and listening environments, and on this basis, I can’t recommend them strongly enough."
