Certainly where the entry into individual notes and sound is concerned there’s nothing to touch them – this sort of unarguable, straight-edged accuracy is rare at any price.Īnd it makes for a very well defined presentation, with music kept firmly on the front foot and a tangible sense of momentum to even the most pedestrian recordings. There’s a lot to be said for the Monitor Audios’ rather caffeinated approach.

No matter the type or quality of the recording offered, nor the source from which it’s derived, the Monitor Audios sink their teeth in and give it a good shaking.įrom Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Higgs Bosun Blues to Martin Carthy’s The Wind That Shakes The Barley via Drake’s Take Care and Samuel Barber’s Adagio For Strings, the Silver 6s exhibit the same fanaticism where the leading edge of notes is concerned and the same unwillingness to let the minutiae of a recording properly reveal themselves. Once that ritual is observed, though, the Silver 6s reveal themselves to be a vigorous, up-and-at-‘em listen with a level of enthusiasm and attack that borders on the relentless. We preferred them out in the room, just slightly angled towards the listener.

Sound qualityįiddle with the positioning of the Silver 6s as much as you like (closer to a wall/away from a corner/toed in towards the listener/toed in a bit more), you won’t get a representative sound until the Monitor Audios have had a good 72 hours of use under their belts. The plinths are a little more prosaic, but they’re not too intrusive and allow the spikes to be sited outside the footprint of the speaker.

The white drivers might look a little glaring in a dark-wood veneer such as ours, but there’s no arguing with the luxuriousness of these speakers’ build – where perceived value is concerned the Silver 6s set new standards at the £1k floorstander mark. Hoisted from their packaging, the Silver 6s immediately impress as compact, handsome and sturdy speakers. All the new models offer higher impedance, higher sensitivity and reduced distortion over the speakers they replace.

What with one thing and another then, the Silver range is less an update of the Silver RX series and more of a re-imagining. The bass reflex port has also been re-engineered to reduce turbulence and facilitate better transient bass response. The single-bolt-per-driver arrangement allows a very clean appearance too, to which magnetic grille fixings also contribute.
