Moving house and emptying loft. These are like new, I hardly used them as I got some bargain Avalon Acoustics soon after purchase. Feel free to demo. Review link added.
At £100, this is right on the money for the recent used market, basically a fair buy rather than a steal. Against your own comps, it lands just under the £101 median and well within the normal spread, so the price looks sensible for a clean, working pair in excellent condition.
The Bronze BR5 is an easy model to recommend if you want lively, room-filling floorstanders with good bass weight for the money and a balanced, listenable top end. In excellent condition, the real upside is simple: you’re paying a fair level for a well-liked, straightforward speaker that can slot into a lot of systems. If the grilles, terminals, and drivers are all intact, it’s a solid pickup.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Monitor Audio, a British hi-fi mainstay, traces its origins to 1972 when founder Mo Iqbal established the company in a modest factory near Cambridge, England. Starting with hands-on loudspeaker assembly in a garage-like setting, it quickly professionalized, moving to Rayleigh, Essex, in 1976 for in-house manufacturing. This heritage of meticulous British engineering has endured through expansions, including a 2004 shift of production to China while retaining design leadership in Essex, alongside strategic acquisitions like Roksan in 2016 and Blok in 2019.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across diverse categories, from high-fidelity two-channel stereo models to advanced home cinema systems, architectural installations, outdoor speakers, and lifestyle solutions. Signature innovations like the patented C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, introduced in the 1980s and continually refined, define its sound. Complementing these are amplifiers, streamers, and integrated audio systems, reflecting a broad portfolio that prioritizes proprietary driver technologies and precise enclosure design over peripheral gear like turntables or headphones.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Monitor Audio commands respect for delivering audiophile-grade performance at accessible price points, blending relentless innovation with timeless British craftsmanship. Over five decades, it has solidified its status as a global juggernaut, appealing to discerning buyers seeking refined, dynamic sound without boutique exclusivity or vintage nostalgia.
