Featuring individually housed drivers for greater midrange and bass levels, the Monitor Audio Silver 8s are a pair of floorstanding speakers that will comfortably fill a room with highly accurate audio, ideal for both music and film.
Monitor Audio have developed their cones using a light material with patterns of dimples on the surface. This allows the cone to give more rigidity at a finer density, in turn allowing for a greater response and ultimately delivering a more accurate audio reproduction. In addition, the Gold tweeters have been developed using Ceramic Coated Aluminium and Magnesium, producing very little unwanted resonance for an intensely accurate sound performance that extends far beyond what the human ear is able to detect.
The bass port of the Silver 8 uses specially developed 'Hive II' technology for a smoother, more controlled bass performance, achieved by the quicker and more direct transition of airflow. While internal conductivity of the cabinets is maximised using Silver plated OFC copper cabling, giving as cleaner contact as possible.
Featuring innovative design and materials throughout, the Silver 8s have been developed for the best possible sound.

The largest speaker in the 600 Series. This floorstander is ideal for audiophile stereo and home theatre applications in larger rooms, delivering serious performance and amazing value.
The 683 S2 features a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter - technology evolved from Bowers & Wilkins CM10 speaker. The double dome design uses an extremely thin aluminium dome for lightness, surrounded by a thicker aluminium ring for rigidity. The result is a far more precise treble performance. And while the tweeter looks like it's part of the main speaker, it's physically separated in its own gel-filled cavity, so performance isn't hit by unwanted resonances or vibrations, for a more natural, spacious sound.
Serious and accurate bass performance is equally vital to such a room-filling speaker. That's why the 683 S2 features a new bass driver construction method, using a similar method of bracing to the tweeter with twin layers of aluminium. The richer, distortion-free bass response is sumptuous.
As well as new bass driver construction techniques and a new tweeter, brought in from Bower & Wilkins high-end series, the 683 S2 also boasts an FST Kevlar midrange driver. Serious technology, serious performance, but seriously affordable for a speaker of this calibre.
