Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G - Compact Bookshelf Speaker for Hi-Fi & Home Cinema

A bookshelf speaker that truly lives up to its name. Simply place the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G close to the wall on a shelf, connect the speaker cables, and you're ready to enjoy.

Despite its compact dimensions, this compact speaker impresses with a full-bodied, closed Hi-Fi and home cinema sound thanks to its 6"/152 mm C-CAM RST III bass/midrange driver and 25 mm C-CAM Gold tweeter with UD Waveguide II. And all this with a maximum sound pressure level of 110 decibels! Behind it is C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) - a diaphragm technology developed by Monitor Audio that is used in almost all speaker series from the British brand.

What makes the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G special:

• Minimal space requirements - Only needs 15 centimetres of wall clearance and thus fits on any shelf

• Completely redesigned C-CAM Gold tweeter - Natural, clear, precise treble range

• Flatter Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II - Wider, larger and more natural soundstage presentation

• 6"/152 millimetre C-CAM RST III bass/midrange driver - Punchy, distortion-free bass and realistic voice reproduction

• Available in three colour options - High-gloss black, satin white and walnut real wood veneer are available

Flexible and sonically powerful - Performs at its absolute best when placed close to the wall

The Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G is an elegant problem-solver and sonically powerful companion for all those who want a full-bodied Hi-Fi and home cinema sound but have little space. The Silver 50 8G is deliberately tuned so that it can be placed close to the wall without booming or exaggerating in the bass. This impresses both with classical music featuring the full range of instruments, gentle jazz or thumping hip-hop beats with a deep, tight bass, natural midrange and voice reproduction, and clear, delicate treble that you wouldn't expect from this compact speaker at first glance.

Completely redesigned C-CAM Gold tweeter and RST III diaphragm - The best Silver series ever!

In the Silver 8G series, the new 25-millimetre C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) Gold tweeter with improved ventilation and cooling is used, ensuring that the treble always remains clean and precise even at high levels. In addition, the redesigned, flatter UD (Uniform Dispersion) Waveguide II with its flatter profile compared to the previous series ensures a more natural, wider and larger soundstage presentation, bringing the listener even closer to the original.

In the bass and midrange, the new RST (Rigid Surface Technology) III diaphragm works with a new, progressive, even stiffer centre spider for more precision and an optimised surround, for an even more harmonious sound image and less distortion across all frequencies.

Technically straightforward, acoustically outstanding - The Silver 50 8G is a true team player

With its minimum impedance of 3.8 ohms, the Silver 50 8G is an easy-to-use partner for any amplifier, and thanks to its sensitivity of 86.5 decibels, it appreciates slightly more powerful amplifiers with at least 50 watts of continuous power.

The Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G effortlessly powers rooms up to 20 square metres on its own with its maximum level of 110 decibels. If you are looking for more volume or deeper bass, simply add a suitable subwoofer of your choice, thus creating your perfect sub/sat system with the best of both worlds. Resolution and naturalness in the treble and midrange, as well as structure and depth in the bass range.

Pros and cons at a glance:

What makes the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G stand out:

What you should know about the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G:

• Needs power - A sensitivity of 86.5 dB requires more powerful amplifiers to utilize the full sonic potential

Ideally suited for / less suited for:

The Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G is perfect for:

• Living spaces where speakers should be as inconspicuous as possible or where there is little space for speakers

• Smaller living rooms up to about 20 square metres or people who want to listen to music and watch movies at moderate levels in larger rooms

• Stereo and home cinema enthusiasts who are willing to place a subwoofer in the living room for very high levels

• Design-oriented listeners who value an elegant cabinet in addition to lively sound

• Amplifiers from 50 watts of continuous power at four ohms

The Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G is less suited for:

• Large rooms well above 20 square metres (without a subwoofer)

• Bass fanatics who want to hear down to 20 hertz

• Small amplifiers with less than 50 watts RMS per channel

Our conclusion on the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G

With the Silver 50 8G, Monitor Audio impressively demonstrates that compact speakers can also deliver first-class sound. With the C-CAM Gold tweeter, the RST III bass/midrange driver and its elegant appearance, this speaker qualifies as a clever choice when it comes to a maximally inconspicuous and flexible, space-saving setup, provided a sufficiently powerful stereo or AV receiver with a subwoofer is at hand.

The most important things about the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G at a glance:

Whether stereo or home cinema, the Silver 50 8G is suitable for almost any amplifier from 50 watts of power per channel thanks to its forgiving impedance curve and a minimum of 3.8 ohms at 240 hertz, as well as its rather average sensitivity of 86.5 decibels (measured at 2.83 Vrms at a distance of one metre).

Its frequency response from 43 hertz to 35 kilohertz clearly shows that it plays high, but in the bass range, it may be worth adding a subwoofer for a full-bodied sound image. The compact cabinet ensures punchy and precise bass, and the maximum sound pressure level of 110 decibels (per speaker) shows that this small speaker is surprisingly level-stable.
