In a technique now used in most Monitor speakers, threaded rods are fastened to the back of the Silvers’ drivers and extend through the rear of the cabinet, where they are tightened down by visible bolts. The Silvers’ tweeter domes are also made of C-CAM, despite their gold finish-the latter (not real gold!) a long tradition in Monitor’s designs. The C-CAM cones in the Silvers are dimpled for further strength, a technique the company calls RST, or Rigid Surface Technology. For this review, we’ve selected the largest of the floorstanders, the Silver 10, along with the Silver Centre, the Silver W-12 subwoofer, and, instead of the Silver FX dedicated surround speakers, a pair of Silver 2s to serve the surround channels.įor its loudspeaker cones, Monitor has long used a material they call C-CAM-a thin, light, and rigid alloy of aluminum and magnesium with a ceramic (alumina) layer. headquarters and are built in a company-owned plant in China. Like the RXs before them, the Silvers were designed at Monitor’s U.K. That line has now been completely redesigned, losing its RX moniker and morphing into the Silver series. In 2010, I reviewed the company’s relatively affordable Silver RX system. Monitor Audio offers an exceptionally wide range of speakers, from the decidedly expensive (but not nosebleed high-end) to the modestly priced.
