Monitor Audio Silver 200 7G Floorstanding Speakers

Monitor Audio Silver 200 7G

In creating the Monitor Audio Silver 200 7G speakers, we made lots of small technical decisions – such as enhancing our Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II and coming up with a new crossover system. But all of these complex moves were done with a simple aim in mind. Great, lifelike audio, across all types of music and for all our customers. A choice of real-wood veneers – including new Natural Walnut and Ash options – enables you to integrate your speakers perfectly with the rest of your home, while even the smallest touches make a difference, like the new moulded feet designed specifically for modern hardwood floors and carpets. You might not notice every feature right away, but you can rest assured we’ve carefully considered them all.

The Monitor Audio Silver 200 - An absolutely fantastic floor-standing speaker, probably one of my most desired ones at this price point, this can easily perform to a very high standard and is, possibly one of the most diverse speakers when it comes to any type of genre you may be listening to, one of the most difficult genres to replicate in my opinion has to be classical music, in the time the 6G Silver 200 was out, classical being one of the most listened to genres, this one stood out the most to our customers whose personal preference was classical. From a personal perspective, I like Electronic music and I am to this date still amazed by the Silver 200's.

Again, like before, the Silver 200's can blend in seamlessly to any sort of living environment, with numerous finishes to choose from. Below is what the new 7G Silver range has to offer against the older G6. This has been taken from resources provided to us. 

Again, I might be biased on this one, but I really do thoroughly enjoy the Silver 200's, they just do absolutely everything to a high standard, my other colleagues also share the same views on this too. Remember this is my own personal opinion, but if there's anything you may want to ask me, please do get in touch. 

New RST II driver design

New RST II cone profile Monitor Audio's new RST II pattern has evolved to give a more rigid profile with a new hexagonal dimpled structure, derived from the RDT II driver development of the Platinum II series. RST II is more than just a pattern on the cone. It represents a collection of technologies, a new cone geometry profile that improves the performance of the driver at higher frequencies, an improvement to C-CAM technology and a glimpse at the underlying design elements that are not usually visible.

New RST II mid-range

Building on the work conducted for the Gold 5G series, Monitor Audio has developed a new mid-range for the Silver 7G series. The mid-range follows the same design aims: to improve directivity through the use of a compact design and to maximise the bandwidth of the driver to allow a smooth crossover with the tweeter. Together all this technology can be seen as RST II – an optimised cone geometry with a hexagon reinforcement pattern that delivers smooth and low distortion midrange.

New real wood veneers

Natural Walnut - Lighter than previous Monitor Audio walnut veneers allowing the natural colours of the grain to be more visible and will allow for easier matching with modern walnut furniture.
Ash - Light wood with more global appeal for those wishing to achieve a ‘Scandinavian look’ and a much more neutral colour to many light wood veneers offered by other loudspeaker manufacturers.

Who is Monitor Audio?

Started in 1972 by the charismatic Mo Iqbal, Monitor Audio began loudspeaker design and production using tried and tested methods available at that time - plastic cone materials, fabric dome tweeters and reflex-loaded braced cabinets. The speakers were welcomed by enthusiasts both in the UK and throughout the World.

Following a management buyout in the 1980s, over the next decade, Monitor Audio expanded its speaker ranges into stereo, surround and in-ceiling/ in-wall plus outdoor speakers to meet the needs of a more diverse, emerging market. At the same time, it embraced metal C-CAM driver technology which can respond to audio signals more faithfully than traditional materials, thanks to its inherent strength and rigidity.

The current Monitor Audio range of speakers is a very successful line-up including the entry-level Bronze range, the mid-market Silver series using C-CAM drivers, the new Gold range delivering high-end performance and lastly the Platinum II range for those buyers who do not wish to compromise sound quality.
