Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G Loudspeakers – A Video Review

Ok, before you start freaking out, no I don’t believe the Silver 300 7G from Monitor Audio is in the same class as the Founder 120H from Paradigm. But I am reviewing the Monitor Audio right after the Paradigm so it’s fresh in my mind. Also, I’m a bit blown away by the Silver 300. However, if you were to factor in price to performance, well then, we have a good fight. And if you’re not looking to remortgage your home to afford a pair of speakers the Silver 300s start looking a lot better.

The Silver series 7g is the sexiest iteration of the silver series to date. They are absolutely gorgeous, refined, and understated. They are beautiful pieces of audio furniture. You get a choice of real wood veneers or beautifully painted and finished cabinets. My review sample arrived in walnut which if I’m to be honest wouldn’t have been my first choice (Then send them to me! Ed). I would have picked the all-white or the ash. The RX2s I previously owned were ash but the new generation looks so much better. It’s a more refined, cleaner, modern-looking speaker, though they would definitely clash with my floors. The walnut fits my room really well and compliments not only the floors but also the large sideboard that they bookend. The gorgeous veneer contrasts nicely with the black surrounds on the drivers and the white drivers themselves pop and give the whole speaker a very classy look. From my listening position, I could swear that these were real wood. They look that good. The Silver series is available in Black, White, Walnut, Ash, and Piano Black gloss.
