We have just traded in a lovely pair of Monitor Audio Silver 200's in a redwood finish, Small blemesh on one side but in great condition overall.
Unfortunately these did not come with original packaging so pick up would be essential here at Murarrie. We do not provide free shipping on pre loved products.
We are happy to hook these up so you can audition before you buy.
Monitor Audio’s Silver 1 has a solid reputation as a compact, clean-sounding bookshelf with proper audiophile pedigree, and this asking price sits above the recent used-market median of A$1,087 and also above the 75th percentile of A$1,505? No — at A$1,385 it’s above the median but still below the 75th percentile, so this reads as a fair-to-ambitious ask rather than a bargain.
What makes it worthwhile is the balance of refinement and scale: these are easy speakers to live with, yet they can sound open, articulate, and surprisingly full when paired well. If the cabinets are clean, the drivers are original, and the pair comes from a careful owner, it’s a sensible buy for someone wanting a respected small monitor; at this price, just confirm condition and completeness before jumping in.
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.
