Monitor Audio Silver 300 Multi-channel PackageTreat yourself to a dynamite multi-channel package from Monitor Audio's new Silver 6G series. Our money-saving package includes two Monitor Audio Silver 300 towers, one Silver 150 center, two Silver 50 speakers for surrounds, one Silver W12 subwoofer, and FREE ($250-value) 100-ft of Kimber KWIK-12 speaker cable. Monitor Audio Silver 300 Floorstanding SpeakerThe Monitor Audio Silver 300 floorstander retains the familiar award-winning configuration of its predecessor, with several crucial improvements to the drivers. The full three-way design delivers class-leading mid-range, while a pair of long-throw 6-inch bass drivers work together to produce incredible power from the tall, but slim cabinet design, making it the perfect choice for serious audiophile and AV installations. The three-way configuration allows each driver to be optimized to do a better job over a narrower frequency band; the only real way to deliver elevated performance in every respect. Superlatively natural mid-range comes courtesy of a dedicated 4-inch driver, specially designed with 'under hung' voice coil and motor system. This technique ensures the voice coil always remains in the magnetic gap under all conditions for demonstrably lower distortion than usually found at this level – an advance which can be immediately heard. Coupled with higher overall impedance and better overall system damping, the cabinet can be placed close to a wall. However, this is a serious audiophile speaker, capable of delivering seismic levels of bass extension. For optimum performance, a distance of just 12 inches (30 cm) is needed between the speaker and wall, allowing the system to breathe and perform optimally. High overall sensitivity makes this new Silver 300 easy to drive with a modest, high-quality amplifier delivering precise, dynamic music or film to fill a medium to large room. Monitor Audio's Silver 6G SeriesRevered by audiophiles around the globe, Monitor Audio's award-winning Silver Series enters its sixth generation with a host of new features to make it the best-performing ever. Taking hi-fi and home theater performance to a new level. The new Silver 6G series utilizes technological advances derived from Monitor Audio's top-of-the-line Platinum Series II. It features a completely redesigned 1" gold dome tweeter for precise treble. And it looks as it good as it sounds, offering stunning real wood veneer, piano lacquer, and contemporary satin white finishes to suit every setting. Continuous Uninterrupted Dish DriversUnlike conventional driver cones, the new C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium) RST (Rigid Surface Technology) bass and midrange drivers take the form of a continuous uninterrupted dish. Strengthened by a uniquely dimpled surface, their greater area radiates more sound, and driven by a larger voice coil and motor, delivers greater efficiency and a cleaner, more accurate response. Bolt-Through Driver DesignSingle bolt-through driver fixings have the dual effect of improving cabinet rigidity while further reducing vibration at the driver/cabinet interface. By this innovative method, drivers are mounted on a single tensioned through-bolt, which is secured to the back of the cabinet. The bolt not only acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box coloration, it removes the need for conventional driver fixings as well, effectively decoupling the driver and baffle to eliminate another source of unwanted resonance. The result is a more fluid communication of mid-range frequencies, and with the absence of front driver fixings, a cleaner more refined overall appearance, especially in tandem with RX's 'invisible' magnetic grille location. HiVe II (High Velocity) Reflex PortDeveloped for the flagship Gold Signature range, the HiVe II reflex port is shaped to have the same effect on airflow as a gun-barrel on a bullet. Rifled groves inside the port help to accelerate the flow and reduce turbulence, so that air moves in and out of the port more efficiently for a faster more dynamic bass response. Monitor Audio Silver C150 Center SpeakerMonitor Audio's Silver C150 center channel speaker is designed primarily to partner with the smaller bookshelf speakers and floorstanders in the series. It is carefully voiced to complement the timbre and balance of the Silver 50 and Silver 200 models; guaranteeing consistent sonic character. The compact Silver C150 is diminutive enough to position easily under most AV racks and on cabinets, without resorting to a dedicated stand. The compact Silver C150 center-channel speaker sits at the heart of your surround-sound system and features two of Monitor Audio's unique 5-1/4-inch C-CAM bass drivers in a familiar three-driver configuration. The system has been designed electrically to be a two-and-a-half way configuration, which provides better dispersion and elimination of the central 'dead spot' exhibited in the typical mid-tweeter-mid (MTM) configurations. The brand's new C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter delivers articulate dialog and crisp dynamics to movies while complementing the quality of the new Silver range effortlessly. The Silver C150 has been carefully tuned to match the timbre of the other speakers in the range, resulting in a consistent sonic character across the front channels of a home theatre system. Drivers have been optimized for use in a sealed box enclosure, ensuring installation close to a wall or in a restricted location will provide excellent and consistent results. Monitor Audio Silver 50 Bookshelf SpeakerThe ultra-compact Silver 50 introduces a completely new version of Monitor Audio’s special 5-1/4-inch C-CAM bass/mid-range drive unit, creating the most diminutive bookshelf model ever to appear in the line-up. Silver 50 may be compact, but it delivers a big sound with impressive scale and dynamics. Prepare to be astounded. Powerful magnets in the nimble Silver 50 bookshelf speaker drive large, 1-1/4" voice coils to ensure impressive power handling and incredibly low distortion. Design criteria ensure that the Silver 50 will make the most of smaller living spaces by being placed close to a wall and yet still deliver clean, punchy bass. You will only hear well-balanced, pure mid-range without ever a hint of box coloration. Strategic cabinet bracing and Monitor Audio’s bolt-through technology creates an amazingly solid speaker. Not only can it play louder and cleaner than its size suggests, it delivers an incredibly well balanced, pure mid-range for a gloriously natural sound. This may be a smaller box but be prepared for a big, fulfilling sound. Monitor Audio Silver W-12 Powered SubwooferThe Monitor Audio Silver Series subwoofer delivers seismic bass right down to 22 Hz using a powerful, long throw 12-inch driver. The Silver W-12’s over-specified driver assembly employs a hugely powerful magnet system and massive voice coil to deliver immense power from the compact sealed cabinet. A heavy-duty die-cast basket not only holds the massive system rigidly together, but also assists thermal sinking to keep the driver cool. For the Silver W-12 subwoofer, Monitor Audio specified a 500-watt Class-D amplifier and power supply module from highly-regarded amplifier specialist Hypex. This provides incredible headroom and utilizes advanced switch mode power conversion techniques. A powerful DSP has been employed to deliver the best performance and filter characteristics, while running the unique APC (Automatic Position Correction) system. The APC is a completely in-house development, designed to automatically correct for room modes. It uses a microphone and test tones to calculate detrimental room modes and correct frequency response, optimizing it for the room and position. This is a simple and quick automated process that is a complete revelation to the installer and ensures the user can enjoy the subwoofer quality without positioning restrictions. At the heart of the Silver W-12 lies a sophisticated 32-bit micro-controller, monitoring performance thousands of times per second in order to ensure that the system can deliver the best possible bass. It will never become over-driven or distorted, even at maximum power. Kimber Kable KWIK-12 In-Wall 12-Gauge Speaker CableDual-gauge configuration KWIK-12 from Kimber Kable boasts a large-gauge and small-gauge conductor for each channel, or four spiraled conductors in all. This unique 12-awg strand design, along with Kimber's special-recipe dielectric, adds up to one of the best sounding bulk cables for home theater and distributed sound you're ever likely to hear. The slippery PVC outer jacket pulls easily through walls. Package Includes

"Monitor Audio's revamped mid-range Silver system brings notable improvements with no notable increase in price." "Monitor Audio's sleek Silver 300-based system delivers a level of performance to equal its good looks. I found myself won over by its crisp, dynamic sound on both music and movies, and was particularly impressed with the C350 center speaker, which allows for seamless sound across the three front channels by perfectly matching the 300 towers. The Silver W-12 subwoofer also commanded my attention via its contribution to the already solid bass provided by the 300s on music, and by adding oomph to action movies. The one caveat I have about the W-12 is its value since there are other subwoofers on the market that provide equal performance at a lower price while offering features like wireless connectivity and app- based control." "Taking this system's elegant looks, immaculate build quality, and great sound into account, I'd say that Monitor Audio overdelivers. If there happened to be an audio Olympics, it would easily earn its Silver status." - Al Griffin, Sound & Vision, March 18, 2020 |
