Spotlight: Silver Series 7G

Speakers that speak to you.

Now in its 7th generation, the Monitor Audio Silver Series embodies decades of audio expertise. Thanks to a choice of real-wood veneers and beautifully painted and finished cabinets, these speakers have a refined, understated look – the perfect counterpoint to their bold, powerful sound.

This latest generation of Silver features numerous acoustic innovations and a model line-up extensive enough to cater to every music and home cinema requirement.

Silver 7G features class-leading performance through Monitor Audio's latest metal coned drivers with Rigid Surface Technology II, so the music you love is more precise, with less distortion than ever. Even with the volume pumped right up, the sound you hear couldn’t be smoother and more defined, not to mention controlled and powerful.

From the Press:

"At $3200 for the pair, the Monitor Audio Silver 500 is one of the great audio deals of the pandemic era."
• Rob Schryer, Stereophile, Feb. 2022

"Loudspeakers face a tough road in the highly competitive $2–3k category, but the Monitor Audio has more than enough game and ranks with the best I’ve heard in this range."
• Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, Feb. 2022 (Silver 300 7G)

"If I had just over $3k to buy a new pair of speakers today, I’d order a pair of the Silver 500 7Gs and never look back. Their value proposition is irrefutable."
• Philip Beaudette, SoundStage! Hi-Fi, Feb. 2022

Advantages of Silver Series 7G

New Rigid Surface Technology (RST) II driver design

A new aluminum alloy improves the tensile strength of the cone while retaining all the benefits - low distortion, high power handling, excellent directivity - of our C-CAM technology. Drivers can go louder for longer without compromise.

New C-CAM tweeter design

A completely new magnet structure and rear chamber design are among the
invisible improvements. The new Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II and compression ring are much more visible. And the result is thrillingly clean, accurate treble response.

New crossover design

Splitting the incoming signal between tweeter and mid/bass driver is an art in and of itself. Our new crossover design works synergistically with the drivers to deliver perfect tonal balance.

New Dedicated Atmos Capable Home Cinema Model

The Silver AMS 7G with Dolby Atmos® puts you right inside the film or the song, creating a 3D soundscape with unprecedented realism. With specially created content, there’s no limit to the detail that’s possible. The Silver AMS 7G can be wall mounted but is also shaped and sized to fit on top of your Silver 300 7G speakers perfectly, enabling the speakers and its grilles to create one seamless element.

New cabinet design and finishes

Crisply drawn edges define the new Silver Series 7G cabinets, and the choice of five luxurious finishes - including three real-wood veneers - creates a look that’s both contemporary and timeless. Two new real wood veneers, Natural Walnut and Ash have been introduced.

I recently sold a REL S/810 to a new customer. This is what he had to say about it:

"Hey Ken,

I hooked up & adjusted that S/812 to my "Big System" in the lower level. "O my God". What a difference the sound stage has been elevated to the next level. I may be looking for a S/510 for my reference system in my great room.

Thank you very much for your support.

Robert"

The system is a LUMIN T2, integrated Yamaha A-S1100, Focal Aria 948’s with the new REL S/810. Powered through a Furman PC fed by a dedicated 20A line."

The second system is a LUMIN U1 into a PrimaLuna EVO DAC which sends analogue signal into a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated amp with 8-KT120 power vacuum tubes which is connected to a pair of Focal Sopra 1’s & soon a Rel S/510. Also powered through a Furman power conditioner connected to a dedicated 20A circuit.

So happy to report that 7 days after the purchase of his S/810, he Robert has ordered the S/510 for his other system!

REL T/9x Wins High End Subwoofer of The Year
Dec. 31

The REL t/9x is a fantastic subwoofer designed to deliver as much as possible from the higher-end Serie S to those on a lower budget. Not that the T/9x is necessarily cheap, and there are certainly more affordable alternatives, but, at least when you get it out of the box, the superior build quality, attractive design and gorgeous finish provides an immediate feeling of luxury.

REL T/9x - MRSP $1,850 CAD

It’s not all looks either, and this discreetly-compact subwoofer does an awful lot with its 10-inch driver, 10-inch passive radiator and 300W of Class A/B power. While the quoted specs may seem conservative, in reality the t/9x delivers a fast and transparent performance that’s combined with surprisingly high output levels and greater low-end impact.

“This elegant subwoofer looks gorgeous and is extremely well made, plus is retains REL’s trademark intimacy, clarity and speed

The T/9x is an impressive achievement when it comes redesigning an existing product, and delivers plenty of output and dynamics, while retaining REL’s trademark intimacy, clarity and speed. It’s not perfect - the connections and controls are limited, and the lack of a remote app disappoints at this price - but it’s our choice for the best high-end subwoofer of 2021.
