The elegant floor-standing RX6 design places the new wider bandwidth RX tweeter in concert with freshly designed 6” C-CAM® bass and 6” C-CAM® bass/mid drivers to form a balanced two-and-a-half way system. Separate chambers are used within the enclosure to provide differential tuning for the 6” drivers, producing higher efficiency and exceptional low frequency extension. For such a slim, easy-to-position speaker, the innovative RX6 produces an extraordinarily wide bandwidth, enhanced with a natural tonality that breathes life into every format – even HD audio. An adjustable base plinth is supplied for added stability.

  • New C-CAM® tweeter design with damped rear chamber, providing improved clarity and wider operating range for HD audio formats
  • New 6” C-CAM® bass and bass/ mid-range drivers incorporate RST® technology, for better damping and improved mid-range clarity.
  • New cast polymer bass chassis design for better rigidity and lower reflection properties.
  • Dual Chamber Bass Reflex with Differential Tuning.
  • HiVe®II port technology for better transient response and tighter bass.
  • Single bolt through driver system, for increased overall bracing and rigidity.
  • Rigid 19mm MDF construction throughout, employing radial and cross-bracing techniques for high rigidity resulting in low cabinet colouration.
  • Floor level terminal location for easy access and neat cable routing
  • Invisible magnetic grille fixing provides clean visual styling when used with the grille off.
  • Selected premium quality wood veneers or high gloss piano finishes.

Technology

Gold Dome C-CAM®

Gold Dome C-CAM®

The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats.

The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.

HiVe II Port Technology

HiVe II Port Technology

A new type of port technology which uses a straight rifled design to accelerate air flow and reduce turbulence. HiVe II technology has the ability to move air in and out much quicker than a conventional port, the result is fast powerful bass coupled with superior transient response.

RST®

RST®

The RST cone profile comprises a radial pattern of surface dimples. Our simulations and listening tests have proved that the dimples significantly increase cone rigidity allowing C-CAM/RST cones to resist mechanical bending forces, which can twist the shape of lesser cones and produce distorted sound. The strengthening effect of the RST dimples means that we can use thinner, lighter more responsive C-CAM cones, providing speed and accuracy but offering greatly reduced distortion. The RST dimples also help to displace standing waves that can propagate on the cone's surface.

Gold award for RX6

"Its finish is impressive and appealing"

"...without any artificial stress in the upper register."

"The sound image is in relief and pleasant, the spectral balance perfectly mastered from tonic bass to rich treble, the medium open and remarkably articulate.  Stereo Image is of high quality and sometimes holographic"

"The dynamic is mastered without sacrificing subtlety in the translation of the phrasing.  They provide class sound and music."

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."

Silver Rx - RX6 - Review

Surround set-ups that put you in the heart of the action.

"The soundstage is generous, integration between all five speakers and the subwoofer is spot on, and there's ample drama and excitement on tap without any accompanying hardness or lack of composure."

    Aboslutely fantastic!
    I've always had very expensive speakers, such as Dynaudio Contour 2 or Celestion Ditton 88, and recently a pair of Focal 836V, but my first Audio Monitor (the Silver RX6), are better than all. So I decided to try the RX8, and if they surprise even me, I will go up a level in Monitor Audio's catalogue.
    I found the company that makes speakers for me.
    Well done! Congratulations!

    These speakers are incredible creations. Their combination of neutrality, sound staging, imaging, and overall lack of distortion is amazing considering that they are very affordable. I find my natural oak pair very attractive too, as does my family. Kudos to Monitor Audio!!

    Great speakers for the money! Excellent detailed clear sound. Takes a couple of months to fully break in. Next time I would consider the Monitor Audio RX2 as well. I use my pair of RX6 with a Pioneer 1120K receiver (USA model) and a Rythmik Audio F12 direct servo sealed subwoofer (the combination sounds great)

    I have RX6 speaker for 1 year and I could not be happier. They sound amazing -- great bass, fine mid and smooth highs. I use it with Cambridge Audio 740 amplifier. The finish is great.
