Richer Sound and Deeper Bass Than Your Old Floorstander
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. On the outside, a choice of real-wood veneers lets you achieve the perfect look. Inside, 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.
With a choice of real-wood veneers and finishes, you'll find the perfect look to fit your home. 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 and is offered in a choice of Satin White and High Gloss Black finishes or real wood veneers Black Oak, Natural Walnut, and Ash.
"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."
"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.
