Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G - Pinpoint accurate, powerful and elegant 3-way compact speaker

3-way compact speakers are surrounded by a unique magic - and rightly so. They combine the pinpoint imaging of a 2-way speaker with the pressure and depth of a floor-standing speaker in the bass, all in a cabinet that can be placed on a lowboard or sideboard.

With its 8"/203 mm C-CAM RST III woofer, 3"/76 mm C-CAM RST III midrange driver, and 25 mm C-CAM Gold tweeter with UD Waveguide II, the Silver 100 8G impressively proves that compact speakers can also sound "complete". In the treble, it plays up to 35 kHz, and in the bass, it goes deep down to 33 Hertz (at -6 dB). Behind all this is C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) - a diaphragm technology developed by Monitor Audio, which is used in almost all loudspeaker series of the British brand.

What makes the Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G special:

• Compact dimensions, big sound - 3-way compact speaker covers the complete frequency range

• Completely re-engineered C-CAM Gold tweeter - Natural and clear, precise treble range

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

• Isolated 3"/76 mm C-CAM RST III midrange driver - Works completely undisturbed in its own housing

• 8"/203 millimeter C-CAM RST III woofer - Crisp, distortion-free and deep bass

• Available in three color variants - High-gloss black, satin white and real walnut veneer are available

Compact cabinet, 3 ways - The best of both worlds

The Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G can be flexibly placed like a classic compact speaker on a lowboard or sideboard, or freely on a stand. At the same time, it delivers a complete sound image across the entire frequency range from 33 Hertz in the bass to 35 Kilohertz in the treble. This makes it suitable for rooms with a floor area of 30 square meters and, with its maximum sound pressure of 114 dB, it is not deterred by high volume levels.

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

The Silver 8G series features the new, 25 millimeter C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) Gold tweeter with improved ventilation and cooling, which keeps the treble clean and precise even at high volumes. In addition, the revised, flatter UD (Uniform Dispersion) Waveguide II with its flatter profile compared to the previous series ensures a more natural, wider and larger soundstage, bringing the listener even closer to the original.

In the bass and midrange, the new RST (Rigid Surface Technology) III diaphragm with a new, progressive, even firmer centering spider for more precision and an optimized surround, ensures an even more harmonious soundscape and less distortion across all frequencies. In addition, due to its 3-way design, the midrange driver in the Silver 100 8G works consistently on its own - unlike a 2-way concept, where the woofer has to handle the all-important midrange. Furthermore, the midrange driver is additionally isolated from the woofer by its own cabinet, which results in an even finer, more dynamic and natural reproduction of the midrange and vocal range.

With its minimum impedance of 3.7 ohms, the Silver 100 8G is an uncomplicated playmate for any amplifier, and due to its efficiency of 87 decibels and the powerful 8" woofer, it appreciates more powerful amplifiers with at least 100 watts of continuous power.
