Monitor Audio Silver 6 Loudspeakers

Monitor Audio Silver 6 -  5.1 surround sound speaker system. Front left, right, & center speakers were demos at a high end home theater store here in Knoxville for about 4 months. The W-12 sub and surround speakers are NIB and never used. Looking to sell locally or close by Knoxville for pick up.

Sound that towers

Monitor Audio's Silver 6 isn't just another pretty face (although it is a real beauty). This compact tower's dynamic, high-energy performance will make your ears perk up and your mouth say "wow." Whether you're grooving to some hot jazz or watching the latest action flick, you'll hear wonderfully open midrange and crystal clear highs, complemented by tight, tuneful bass. The Silver 6 is a great choice for high-end stereo or home theater surround sound systems in medium- to large-sized rooms.

Excellence by design

Every Silver series speaker incorporates Monitor Audio's gold dome tweeter for smooth, detailed highs. The domes are made from a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components, then anodized with a layer of gold for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Their extremely low mass and high rigidity allow these tweeters to play accurately far beyond the range of human hearing with little to no audible distortion, making them an excellent choice for high-resolution music listening.

The Silver 6's 2.5-way design incorporates an ultra-rigid 6" woofer and 6" mid/bass driver for tight, powerful bass and dynamic midrange. Created from the same lightweight alloy as the tweeters, these drivers are strengthened and stiffened even further by adding a pattern of dimples to the surface of the cone. The dimples help resist bending and twisting that cause distortion while allowing the use of thinner, lighter, more responsive cones. Each driver is then mounted into its own separately tuned acoustic chamber inside the enclosure for higher efficiency and enhanced low-frequency extension.

Further refinements to ensure powerful performance

Meticulous engineering and many hours of listening go into each Silver series speaker. Monitor paid close attention to important design elements — both visible and hidden. At its heart, the Silver 2 uses a sophisticated crossover network with premium-grade components. Monitor also chose their Pureflow® Silver-plated OFC wire to make all internal cabling connections. Together, these refinements provide better driver integration and faster transients for smooth sound with real presence and immediacy.

Instead of conventional mounting screws, each driver is held in place using a single tensioned rod, or through-bolt, that threads into its back plate then secures to back of the cabinet. The bolt not only acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box coloration, it also eliminates the need for traditional driver mounting hardware, effectively decoupling the driver and front baffle to eliminate another source of unwanted resonance. The lack of visible mounting hardware alsoadd to the overall look of elegance. 

Monitor thoroughly engineered the Silver 6's bass-reflex port, as well. This new type of port design utilizes straight, rifled grooves inside the port to accelerate air flow and reduce turbulence compared to conventional ports. This ability to move air in and out of the cabinet more quickly provides faster, more powerful bass and superior transient response.

A solid cabinet with a luxurious finish

Monitor Audio speakers have long been known for their sturdy, vault-like cabinet construction. The Silver 6's enclosure is built solid to resist vibration that can color sound and reduce accuracy. The exterior comes clad in a beautifully finished real walnut or black oak wood veneer. Base plinths are provided for added stability and a solid foundation for superior acoustics. Spikes are supplied to accommodate installing the speaker on carpeting, and non-slip polymer pads are also included to protect wood floors. An attractive "floating" magnetic grille features invisible attachments to give the Silver 6 a clean, classic look whether use it with the grilles on or off.
