    Powerful Floorstander with Punchy Deep Bass Way Down to 30 Hz

    The incredible Silver 500 floorstander from Monitor Audio features a pair of powerful, long-throw 8-inch C-CAM bass drivers in each cabinet, delivering punchy bass right down to an earth-shaking 30 Hz alongside exquisite treble and captivating mid-range. With this masterpiece, you probably won't need an extra sub to deliver the most demanding music tracks to the full.

    While assured of incredible scale and breath-taking dynamics from Monitor Audio's bespoke bass drivers, you are guaranteed clean mid-range, without a hint of distortion, and a delicate, detailed treble thanks to perfect drive unit matching. All bass and mid-range drivers feature the Silver Series' signature RST Cone profile.

    High overall sensitivity and easy loading make the new Silver 500 easy to drive and capable of delivering amazing results in your audio system. In fact, a modestly powered high-quality amplifier is all you need to fill a large room with volume levels that approach live music. And, with just 12 inches needed between the speaker and wall, to allow the system to breathe and perform optimally, the Silver 500 is perfect where space is tight.

    Monitor Audio's Silver 6G Series

    Revered 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 Drivers

    Unlike 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 Design

    Single 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 Port

    Developed 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.

    Product Features
