When I do these reviews, I usually look for pros and cons. And in this case, I’m struggling with cons. I imagine most would say that a con would be this speaker’s size, but their size in my opinion is a pro. A substantial bookshelf speaker with an 8” mid/bass driver is a pro in my books.

Other than that… I’m grasping at straws.

The Monitor Audio Silver 100 7g.
A two-way bookshelf loudspeaker that sounds as big as you would hope it would.
A speaker that is absolutely gorgeous in design.
A speaker that brings a smile to my face whenever I have it connected.
A speaker that might very well take up permanent residence in my home.
