Monitor Audio Silver 1 Stand Mount Speakers

Monitor Audio Silver 1 Loudspeakers in Premium High Gloss Piano Black finish.  Gloss Cabinet tops show signs of routine handling.   
From "What Hi-Fi"

As we unwrap the speakers, it is hard not to marvel at the luxurious build quality. They’re heavy, for starters, and feel very solid.

The natural oak finish on our review sample is smooth and polished to touch, and the fixings all over are nothing short of exemplary.

This is the kind of build quality we’d expect from speakers twice the price, but we’re not surprised by Monitor Audio – indeed, this is one of the company’s areas of consistent strength.

....what you get is a wonderfully detailed, dynamic and spacious performance, wrapped up in an exceedingly well-built package.

The Silver 1s are another excellent set of midrange standmounters with plenty to admire, and Monitor Audio has a right to be proud.
