Okay, I'm going to take on trying to say what is 'Different about YOU' to me and other Reviewers. Don't get pissed off please. .... You do (Andrew) one thing most don't I think that others do in reviewing equipment. Andrew, you take a stand on what you think are worthy of mentioning good enough (the Equipment) to be the LAST thing you might need Catagory, & through Analysis what can give Great sound; vs the minor advantage of SPENDING the CHURCH MONEY to achieve reaching 'Faith Based Audiophile System." ... *I don't know if this is making sense, but* others (reviewers) pepper their views with this is good and that is great and of course it's your trip and such...., you do it to at the end with your TAG line too. Never the less.... I LIKE IT. I think i know where you are coming from and I'm USING YOUR Evaluation (like the LP-140 Audio-Technic) in place of a HOBBY that has few stores to audition equipment for myself. .... I THINK you are looking at the SPECS with the Experience of hearing equipment and saying if you can match items well. You might end up only a few Percentage Points away from owning that $20,000 dollar stereo for $2,000 or $4,000, but much less and only missing something that is marginally (albeit recognizably better) better. It's all good :) GOOD JOB! HOWDY Kristi (not to be left out for her value, but that is another story I think we all know adds real value.)

I've went for bronze 100's last week after seeing your (and others) videos, initially was a little scared of my decition (of not going directly for silver 100) and while I don't "love" the finish of the white unit I forgot about those details when they sound, they're fantastic. Glad to know that silver 100s aren't a huge leap in performance, thank you Andrew and Kristi.

Great review. Competition is fierce in the $ 750- $2000 range. I love my 600M’s over 2 years ago. To answer your question…. Yes. Yet the irony is we position our main speakers in a way to make them “disappear “ in the room. Your Cornwall’s are freakin (keeping it G rated) STUNNING. Whether listening or just admiring them. Hopefully speaker manufacturers are watching and listen to this channel.

Thank's for review. I have them too and I really like their flatness. What I noticed absolutely clear - low frequency cutoff at 40Hz when listening in quiet mode. At least I feel that speakers love loudness and power (in reasonable level), but for smooth bass additional sub is a must. Silvers plus sub can be a great 2.1 set.

I got the 6G (4 years ago) silver 100's in Rosenut to replace some aging Kef Coda's. When I unpacked them the wife said "oh, they're pretty", I knew I had hit a home run! They sound bloody fantastic! Got them paired with the C150 center channel and it is really job done. Thanks both of you for the great work and wonderful reviews!

I can confirm that they play great when paired with Audiolab 6000A Play. I listen to mainly acoustic or orchestral music, but when I feel like listning to some of electronic like soundtrack from "Rez Infinite" or good old FSOL and Orbital I'm being floored by how good they sound. Speaker also really gives you the cue which of your music is mastered correctly and which is not. Recently got melted by how godly soundtrack from original Ghost in the Shell sounded. My room is appx. 16-18m2. Detailed, with great bass performance(Angel from Massive Attack is a best test imo). I'll stay with them even when switching amps.

I thought that was Kristi's best reviews. She brought up some great points concerning other options. I know space has a lot to due with bookies versus floorstanders, but at that price point, if it was me, I'd probably squeeze just a little more and look at the R700's. I'd give some on fit and finish for the R700's. Awesome review from both of you.

A good Video about the Silver Series and the 100 especially!! I Loved the afordable Speaker from Monitor Audio vor Years and the 7 g shows how good they are manufactured. Das Auge isst mit ! Wer are saying in Germany. The Look ist one Piece of the Game ! But....coming to your Question, ist there so much between the Bronco and the Silver?? My Answer ist yes there is! But i bought some Years ago the Bronce 200. Exactly because they sounded so good...Just Like the Silver and i could only afford the lower Price at that Moment. And that is the Deal. Congratulations to your Chanel. IT is in my Opinion one of the best Hifi and Audio Chanels without beeing influenced by Manufacturers! Go on !! Best greetings from Germany to you and the Voice from behind !!!👍 Rudi👍

Thanks for another great review. I can say that fit and finish matter a lot if we're talking about a sound system for the living room. It's basically another furniture, guests are going to see it, and so that does carry weight. I'm even debating between a few speakers right now and I'm pretty sure one of them has reached the finish line in large part because of its looks/color. It's two more pieces of furniture, even if they're bookshelf speakers and certainly if they include stands. That has to be a consideration. Maybe not the biggest but not that minor either.

Following your previous monitor reviews last year I demoed both bronze and silver 50/100 (would have considered the SFL II but is way more costly here - I thought the difference between broze to silver 50s was a lot bigger than from bronze 100 to silver 100. Ended up going with silver 50s + c250 centre + Monitor in walls and in ceiling for 5.2 atmos. With the addition of a B&W DB3d sub I couldnt be happier, the B&W sub makes a decent system sound spectacular especially with movies. Truly commercial theatre bass in a medium room.

QOTD: Finish and style is important but not the end all be all. I look for sound quality and target that, then look at style and finish as secondary. I keep speakers for a long time so I take into account where I’m at in life and where I may be in ten or twenty years. Funny note: When I looked at purchasing the R200’s I asked my wife what finish she liked. I was leaning towards the white but she chose black and that’s what I got. Happy wife, happy life. Keep rocking! 🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼

Fit and finish is important but only in reference to another speaker, I don't choose it actiively and would take "uglier" speakers if they'd sounded better. Recently I had the 8000F in ebony and the MA Bronze 500 in grey, put them head to head and I decided for the Klipsch because of the sound altough the MA looked better in my opinion.

I think you strike a great balance between information and practicality for normal people - especially with Christie as a counterpoint. You bring the human touch to HIFI. I am not familiar with audiophile terms such as "forward" but I know how the human voice/piano/violin/acoustic guitar so I would be nice it if you could add base-lining comments such as better for vocals eg Johnny Cash/Leonard Cohen/Joni Mitchell etc or better for piano/violin/trumpet/jazz or better for rock/electronic/chamber music/symphonies etc. And explain your thinking.

Great review! I upgraded from the Bronze series purchased four years ago to the Silver 100 7g plus the Silver 6g C150 center. I immediately noticed a huge improvement in the midrange. For some reason I thought these would be more forward/brighter than the Bronze but that wasn't the case. They are smoother and more refined but definitely not more aggressive. I'm currently driving them with a Yamaha Aventage 90 WPC receiver. Do you think there would be much benefit to pushing these with a more powerful receiver?

To me fit and finish matters if… it doesn’t jack up the price or is over performance. So as long as the performance is their first and the speakers fit my budget, the finish could sway me on which I pick. The set I have now actually had the performance I want but also the finish I was looking for. Another great video, thank you!

I would really love it if you did a "monthly music roundup" type video where you talk about the music that has been in rotation with a heavy leaning on any new music found, or vinyl acquisitions. I just received Jazzpospolita's "PRZYPLYW" which I had to order from Poland. Beautiful stuff, I'm pretty sure I've recommended it to Andrew before, but I'm doing it again hahaha. Definitely adjacent to GoGo Penguin in mode, but with more affecting melodic lines imo. Anyway, thanks again for the reviews

Fit and finish, it’s definitely up there in priorities, but if the sound is so captivating, as it is with the Revel M16, I can let it slide. Btw, STILL waiting for my Lumina II from my dealer and I placed my order in August of last year, so it’s been quite the wait. I’m seeing now though that the Lumina series is available at some more online retailers, that’s encouraging.

I have owned about 8 sets of speakers, bookshelf and Floorstanders. Fit n finish is extremely important but I don’t need Flawless Car Finishes. So I don’t want to polish like my car, just dust it and know it’s built very well. Dali had a satin rough textured finish I saw at a Dealer, Oberon series? My take, Great Channel, need all the help I can get on shopping for my next speaker.

When friends come to visit and they will say "nice looking speaker! can we have listen?" and it will be pretty embarrassing if it turns out to be a "nothing special" sounding speaker. When compare to the Polk R200, would you say the Polk sounds dull compare to the MA silver 100? Thanks

I have always loved MA. I chose between MA and Canton Reference series when I put together my 2-channel system. Canton won and I really love them along with the marantz M40. But I'm still not quite sure if they will stay. maybe there will be an MA gold or platinum speaker in my living room in the future. Great review👏🏻👏🏻

Looks really matter when they're going anywhere highly visible in your house, speakers have a presence in any room they go into as you're essentially adding many new pieces of furniture. Get something that looks great and in the future you won't be regretting saving a few dollars and looking for something to replace your room dominating speakers. The looks of the Monitor Audio Silver 7G series are what got the purchase over the line with the other half so it matters a lot there too!

Well I own the Evoke 20 by Dynaudio but those monitor audio's look just as stunning if not better looking with the pure white bass woofer. But you should always put performance first, because good looks can be just a decoy for poor performance keep that in mind. But the monitor audio sounds like a great buy indeed for a sub 2000 speaker they look like a steal great review keep it up..

I agree that looks matter. I'm in my home office for many hours each day, so if I'm staring at speakers the whole time I want them to look great. You know what doesn't look great? The large, ugly black boxes of electronics required to power nice-looking speakers. Lots of upper-end equipment looks great, but low to mid-end electronics are almost universally large and ugly. Personally, I'm thinking of going with the new KEF LSX ii, partly to avoid the huge and ugly receiver/ integrated amp I'd need for passive speakers. I hope you get to review those soon!

Very good review and I'm absolutely agree with what Kristi said about (both of you). Thanks for that. However i can't understand why MA stills not making a simple upgrade in all models they produce and that's means swapping for Mundorf the crossover capacitors. For many times this upgrade was advised by The Portuguese distributor and he does this upgrade with attonishing results. He is one of the dealers who knows Monitor Audio best as he has worked with the brand since the very beginning

I had a complete 7.1 MA system with RS8's being the towers. But I honestly can't imagine purchasing any finish other than rosenut. It's warm, beautiful and honestly seems more at home in a place where humans live rather than a cold, stark art gallery made for feng shui obsessed Scandinavian robots like the chilly, pale, ash or a pair that seem meant to be placed in a high end sushi restaurant bathroom next to the neatly rolled white towels like either flavor of black.

I have debated a few new upgrades, Dali Oberon 3, monitor silver or the ludmina 2 however I cannot test them all out before buying, I have a room setup that lacks bass, and although I prefer the lumina in looks, I just know the bass on the monitor is far in front probably? Like you say over here monitor are £150 cheaper.

@@Brett1334yh bass is great on these speakers. Not the most slam I've heard but they do play clean down to 35hz. I'm more impressed with the tweeter. Dispersion and soundstage was a big wow moment when I got them out the box! To add I got them for a steal from someone upgrading to the gold's! Payed £390 for the pair. My logic was at that price why not spend £100 or so on better internal components. Sonicly it made the speakers even more resolving and deffo smoother to my ears. (No listening fatigue after upgrade). Deffo Way better than the cheesy caps and the dreaded sand cast resistors used as standard.

The Monitor Audio Silver 100 7g are £749 in the UK, the Klipsch RP 600M II are £729. I would choose the MA as I live in the UK and I prefer the look, If I was in the USA, I would choose the Klipsch, which as you said are about half the price there.

In my country in europe these are 865 US dollars, while the lumina 2 is 1120 US dollars. The bronze 100 is just 330 US dollars. While something like the Polk r200 is 750 and the revel is a crazy 1425 dollars... So Monitor Audio wins in these parts in terms of value.
