Monitor Audio revealed its new Silver series of speakers - now in its sixth incarnation - at the Munich High End Show 2017, with nearly every aspect of the speakers redesigned.
The highlight of the new Silver series is a completely new version of the company's iconic gold dome tweeter, which has been fine-tuned in the quest for clearer, smoother and distortion-free highs.
The visual flourish of the speckled tweeter grille gives the speakers an eye-catching look, too.
All Silver speakers (apart from the subwoofer, naturally) feature this new 25mm gold dome tweeter.
The company's other proprietary technology - C-CAM (ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium) material mid-bass drivers - also features across all Silver models.

Certain technologies from the company's flagship Platinum II Series have trickled down to this latest Silver range. This includes a DCF coupling mechanism, designed to improve the roll-off in the high frequencies of the drivers as well as minimising distortion.
Monitor Audio enlisted the help of the National Physical Laboratory (based in Teddington) to design the handcrafted cabinets.
A precision laser scanner from the NPL was used to identify cabinet resonances, and then help position internal bracings more accurately to ensure rigidity and minimise any colorations.
All models have a slimline build designed for 'modern living', with HiVe II ports positioned at the back and slim magnetic grilles for a neater, elegant look.
