Monitor Audio Silver RS6 Floorstanding Loudspeakers For sale 1 pair of Monitor Audio Silver RS6, lovely sounding speakers, beautifully constructed, well reviewed (the Stereophile review was unbelievably effusive ...) and many positive posts about them in the forum. With Plinths and original floor spikes. They're well sized for small to medium rooms at 850mm high. A few small moving dings that are not very noticeable in real life (see pics). Happy to audition, pickup only, located in Canberra. Specs: Frequency Response: 38 Hz - 30 KHz Sensitivity (1W@1M): 91 dB Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms Power
Buyer’s market here, and A$600 for a pair sits in the fair-to-good zone rather than bargain territory. The RS6 launched around A$1,500–A$1,800 new, and the model’s used value typically lands well below that; at this asking price it’s sensible if the pair is clean and fully working, but it’s not low enough to be an automatic steal.
What makes it worth a look is the RS6’s reputation for clear, lively, easy-to-drive sound with good bass reach for a compact floorstander. They were widely liked for offering a lot of speaker for the money, so a tidy pair can still be a strong everyday listen. At this age, I’d just confirm driver condition, cabinet corners, grilles, and that both speakers are matched and free of voice-coil rub.
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.
