A compact two-way bookshelf speaker from Monitor Audio's Silver 7G range. Each speaker has a 5¼-inch C-CAM RST II mid-bass driver and a 1-inch C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter in a rear-ported cabinet. It is sold as a pair, in Ash, Black Oak, Glossy Black, Natural Walnut or Satin White.
Monitor Audio describes the Silver 50 7G as the performance of a large speaker in a much smaller package, designed for the acoustics of an ordinary home.

Why you will love it
C-CAM drivers with RST II
Both drivers use C-CAM cones. The 5¼-inch mid-bass driver uses Monitor Audio's Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II design, which Monitor Audio says delivers pin-sharp clarity.
The tweeter is a 1-inch (25 mm) C-CAM Gold Dome with a Uniform Dispersion (UD) Waveguide II.


Tuned for real rooms
Monitor Audio says the Silver 50 7G is designed to give bass extension usually only found in a larger floorstander, and that the bass is optimised for placement close to a wall.
The speaker is rear-ported with a HiVe II port system. Monitor Audio says it is tuned for ease of positioning.
Finishes
Monitor Audio offers the Silver 7G range in real-wood veneers and painted finishes, from Satin White to High Gloss Black. Check the finish selector on this page for the finishes available.
