The Range

Silver RX is Monitor Audio's stunning mid-market speaker range. Classically configured and crafted using our finest proven technologies, Silver RX offers the widest appeal by providing a truly affordable audiophile performance from a slender décor-friendly design. Techniques and materials refined for our flagship models are deployed comprehensively throughout each of the seven RX designs, which combine in matching stereo and multi-channel systems to provide a dynamic blend of audio accuracy, exceptional build quality and design excellence.

Resplendent in a choice of premium quality real wood veneers: Rosenut, Natural Oak, Walnut, Black Oak, and high-gloss black or white piano finishes, the ravishing RX series relies on Monitor Audio's most prestigious science for its proven class-leading sound quality. The RX cabinets are constructed from 19mm MDF throughout (25mm for RXW12 subwoofer), and in conjunction with bolt-through driver bracing, employ additional radial and cross-bracing for high box rigidity and low cabinet colouration. Magnetic grille fixing makes attaching and removing the grille easier and provides a cleaner look when the grille is removed. Using FEA (Finite Elemental Analysis) we have developed new ways to shape our C-CAM® driver material in the cause of even greater fidelity. We've precision-tuned the RX tweeter design, bringing higher sensitivity and a wider bandwidth for finer high frequency resolution. Advanced computer simulations and intensive listening sessions have optimised the performance of the RST® (Rigid Surface Technology) mid-range/bass drivers as well. Their super-stiff dimpled profiles are more resistant to break-up under high drive conditions and so produce a wider range of purer frequencies.

In developing the finest traditions of the brand, the Silver RX range offers a performance that will satisfy and endure. For music or home theatre applications, Monitor Audio’s Silver RX has the perfect mix of virtues for 21st Century living.

Silver RX8 Review by What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision

"The RX8 is a two-and-a-half-way design and uses twin, 15cm bass drivers together, a 15cm mid/bass unit and gold dome tweeter. Considering the number of drive units being used, they show a remarkable sense of togetherness. Integration is impressive and all the drivers combine to leave a solid, seamless soundstage."

"High frequencies have a good level of detail and they're expertly controlled with no hardness to speak of. The midrange is similarly detailed: vocals are clear and crisp."

Silver Rx - RX6 - Review

"I could make out the subtlest sounds in every scene, from the faint creaking and rustling of falling debris as the Sistine Chapel caves in, to the gentle background chatter inside important-looking command centres. If the devil is in the detail, then this system is Satan himself."
