Monitor Audio Silver 500 speakers These are the top of the Monitor Audio Silver (6th generation 2021) range. Fantastic sound, rated best in their class - read the reviews online. 250W rating with frequency response 30Hz to 35kHz. Significantly better bass extension than the smaller models such as...
Monitor Audio’s 500 sits in a well-liked part of the brand’s used lineup, but the asking price is far above the recent local market anchor you gave me. Against a 5-listing median of A$491 and a 75th percentile of A$571, A$2,200 is clearly ambitious and not a fair-market buy on price alone.
That said, if this is the original, fully working pair in genuinely excellent condition, the appeal is in the usual Monitor Audio strengths: clean detail, lively dynamics, and a presentation that has aged well for listeners who want a revealing but musical speaker. The upside is mainly for someone chasing a preserved example, but at this level I’d want strong proof of condition, originality, and any included stands, grilles, or packaging before considering it.
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.
