from Audio 5.1 Summary: I have had these speakers for almost 3 years now.I use them with covers off and sitting on well damped stands biwired .These speakers are used in a two channel setup with a very fast sub.In this scenario these bookshelves sound fabulous.Good soundstage,lots of resolution,definition and dynamics.They have a respectable quantity and quality of bass for a bookshelf,delivering an honest 40hz easily.The real-wood veneers are first rate gorgeous.The binding posts are very decent as well,quite beefy.I used to own a pair of B&W CDM 1nt which were about 50% more cost than the silvers.The B&Ws were quite good,no complaints.Are they better than the Silver S2s?I am not sure.Midrange maybe and looks but that would be it.
The Monitor Audio Silver S2 is alot of speaker and sits at the top of its class,imo. Strengths: The highs are excellent
the bass is great,very speedy drivers
nice small footprint with wonderful fit and finish Weaknesses: The speaker covers vibrate at high volume levels.
Midrange is a bit thin Similar Products Used: B&W CDMNT 1
