I just received a pair of the Silver 100 7Gs in Piano Black last week, and I absolutely love them. Fantastic clarity and tonality, and love the detail retrieval. The bass sounds so nice and crisp compared to the muddy bass of my old B&W 606 S2s. I completely agree with you John, that these sound great at lower volumes. I have the 100 7Gs connected to a Cambridge Audio CXA81 & a Bluesound Node, and I can see myself keeping this setup for a very long time. I cannot recommend these enough!

Monitor Audio is a tremendous value, I discovered them about 15 years ago and have the silver series 6 and 10’s. You can get more expensive speakers but you run into a diminishing return for your buck (sounding good enough without going esoteric high end). An 8” 2 way is rare these days, and it’s good to see they are still making them that sound this good.

Well, thank you for another enjoyable episode.

The review makes sense to me. I enjoy a set of older Monitor Audio Silver RX1 (6 inch sub driver) on a daily basis. Although I appreciated a subwoofer before I don’t really need it to have enjoyable listening sessions. As a source a Bluesound node 2i is used as preamp and connected to the XTZ EDGE A2-300 power-amp. Lately I introduced the Schitt Modi DAC in between the pre-amp and power-amp. I can really appreciate the slight but clearly noticeable improvement it makes to my system. Through the years I was able to maximise my speakers performance thanks to the valuable insights from the John Darko’s reviews. Thanks John!

Monitor Audio such an under rated brand. I had the bronze BR2 stand mounts, one of their least expensive but the build quality was terrific! and I liked the sound. I once took them over to one of Sydney's largest HiFi stores and had a great afternoon of side by side comparisons. To my delight I must of compared 5 or 6 other stand mounts, all more expensive and only one brand impressed me more but not by much. That brand was Triangle, unfortunately I don't recall the model but they were a lot dearer than my MA's. The dealer didn't stock Monitor Audio but I feel even he agreed with my assessment as we were doing the listening. I kept the MA's a while longer !!

I purchased a pair of Monitor Audio Silver100's (butternut finish) three years ago while auditioning them against Focal Aria 906's that were over twice the price. I also compared them to Klipsch, KEF, Genelec 8010s, and a few others. No comparison! Better value and sound across the board. However, I do have them playing with a Carver True Subwoofer to fill in the 10-35 hz dip which is more tactile preference than auditory. They're hooked up to Pioneer 70's vintage equipment that is visually stunning as well. Good 👍 review!!!

Fell in love immediately with the Monitor Audio Silver 100's after seeing this Video and when i finally got my Money together, the special edition ones were sold out everywhere. Bought the white ones and even if you said, that you always have to listen for yourself, i bought them because of your review and the looks and i'm not dissapointed at all. Got me the Audiolab 7000A wich you indeed never featured, but i really wanted an amp with a vu- meter wich doesnt cost 2000€ and above. It's digital, but i love looking at it. And since i saw the 7000a in the background of one of your Videos, i thought "if John likes it, i'm gonna love it" And because of your Silver 100 Review i too got the solid steel stands you featured and what can i say? They just look Beautiful! Had to choose between them and the Buchard ones with the oak legs, but i prefer these. Thank you so much for your content and bringing this Audiophile world to common listeners, who want to step up their Equipment and without people like you, would get lost in this Jungle of gear.

These 50th anniversary edition are still available here in Spain and not only that, they’re reduced from €1300 to €999 (the standard versions are €1150). Clearly not a popular colour here.

20 years ago when I went speaker shopping I fell in love with the little 10 1/2 inch tall Monitor Audio MA 301s but they were out of the price range. Flash forward 20 years and I am trying to upgrade my desktop system for my work-at-home office, I spotted a deal on eBay for 80% off MSRP on a pair of the MA301s, and have been loving them ever since. I also have a small Monitor Audio center channel speaker in my living room home theater system and it has got excellent clarity and surprisingly sufficient volume for a large room with cathedral ceilings.

Great review again. Never heard Monitor Audio speakers but these are looking great (except those grilles 😏). Glad you’re talking about room size and matching speakers. Next thing I would like to see in your reviews is about speaker placement (fit near wall or not, need xx cm space etc. ). I often see a demo with speakers far away from walls but they’re not many people who can achieve this at a home. P.s.: perhaps you could start a ranking list of loudspeakers (like German Audio-magazines do …😉). Greetings from The Netherlands.

Hi John, great review. But I would say that, I love the Monitor Audio sound. Some observations: Firstly, completely agree on the use of amps with more grunt. It’s a family trait and as I upped the amps(!) the bass clarity improved significantly. Secondly, I also agree with you on their use in small rooms. I tried a pair of 5th gen Silvers in my study and, whilst they were good, the bass was overpowering. Just for fun, I hooked them up in my lounge system and they sounded great. Thirdly, I replaced the crossover components in both my pairs of MA speakers, 1 stand mount pair and 1 floorstander. I did it because I really like all the things you do, tonal balance, excitement etc, I just wanted to see what would happen. Well what happened was more detail, more openness but most of all, a much more focused image. For what I spent, there’s no way it would be economical for these upgrades to be done in the factory. Finally, if you don’t believe in bi-wiring, I recommend you take the nasty plates from the binding posts and replace them with some high quality copper wire. In their Gold and Platinum ranges, that’s exactly what MA does.

Thank you for reviewing the speakers in terms of room dimensions… it’s a category that I think sometimes gets missed. I have a largish room and I want that all encompassing sound, but the local audio shop only has tiny demo rooms and I feel like a lot of reviewers, that I like to watch, have smaller spaces, so I’ve been on the fence as to which direction I should take regarding the choice of my next speaker, however I feel you’ve cleared it up for me. Im going to look more at the Silver 100’s and other similar sized speakers. Cheers

I heard these at AXPONA and they're very good. They sound full, clear, and balanced. It's an 8" woofer.

I've owned the 100 7g in walnut for about 3 months now. I grabbed an absolute deal from someone moving up in the line. (bought for £390 a pair). Honestly cant fault this speaker. I have them in a smaller 3 x 5m room about 30cm from the wall. I've measured these with the umik1 and found the included foam bungs didn't make a big difference at all so don't fret too much about having a "big enough" room for these speakers. My front end is a rpi 3b+ with a digi hat running digital to a topping e50. Both are powered with linear psus. My amp is an old nva 25w class ab power amp. This amount of power is plenty to reach painfully loud levels so very easy to drive speaker! Hope this helps some of you!

Thanks for your contribution about them in a smaller room. It seems most of the great stand mount speakers are power hogs (Polk R200, Elac, Denton, etc) so it's nice to finally see one which is easy to drive and sounds good at low volume. I was a bit worried about having them in a smaller room listening to them about 2-3 meters, but you've put my worries to rest.

Another nice video, not sure about the color though. The side by side comparison I like but it’s so difficult if you have never listened to any of the speakers in the review, I had the meta’s which made me trade up. I got hooked on audio because of you, Steve and Hans and to some extent GoldenSound. Started off with an Atom and LS50’s (original) and went crazy in from there 😮 always the danger once you really get started. Now I’m on the market for some smaller speakers and wish I would have kept the Meta’s, well, we live and learn right. Keep it up, always a good watch.

And though not having heard them from my past I grasp the Audio Quality they effusively display as you have, for me described it well. Or should I say, effortlessly.

I was looking at getting these but as MA were asking a premium price for these over the conventional Silver 100s, my dealer got me a great deal on the Gold 100s instead and boy are they just amazing speakers!! Definitely no subwoofer required and their tonality with their proprietary ribbon tweeter...they will be the last pair of speakers I will ever buy!!

Whilst I get the point about probably using these speakers in larger rooms, they do come with bungs to put in the woofer ports. That will trim the bass for use in smaller rooms or when used closer to a wall

I actually paused listening to your review to go back to listen to R.E.M.'s I Remember California. That album, but specifically that song (and the untitled hidden track) have such intense memories associated with them. Thanks for the reminder!

Same. It was one of the few albums from my early teenage years that actually sounded good on pre-recorded cassette.
