The baby of Monitor Audio’s Silver range is an accomplished performer.

These Monitor Audios are dynamic performers, but suffer from a lack of refinement.

More of the same from Monitor Audio’s Silver range, and that’s a good thing.

Best style speaker package £2000+, Awards 2011. When it comes to combining alluring looks with entirely credible performance the Monitor Audio Apex

This surround package from Monitor Audio, is, like so many of its products, a simply styled but supremely capable system

Once again Monitor Audio has come up with a well-built and attractive looking speaker, although we found the bass somewhat overblown

Capable little subwoofer that will help systems needing encouragement in the lower frequencies

Well-made and refined speakers, but they just lack some of their rivals' flexibility

It might look good and have great technical ability, but the Airsteam 10 lets itself down with poor sound

Plenty of plus-points in both looks and sound, but there are more meticulous subs around

The old Radius range was great, but this new HD system is even better – our Awards judging just got harder

Monitor Audio's PL100s are beautiful and they have a refined sound, too

Still great speakers but other speakers now offer greater excitement

Nothing in the company’s recent history prepares you for how good these speakers are

The Monitor Audio Bronze BR2 may be a bit long in the tooth but we're still fans

There’s no doubting the GS20s’ abilities, but their controlled nature won’t please everyone

A fine, fun subwoofer that plays both music and movies with terrific energy

The Silver RS6AV digs deep into DVD soundtracks and uncovers a fantastic level of detail and insight

An extraordinary set-up, which can be powerful as you like but is also versatile enough to adapt to subtler demands
