So here we are in the presence of the sixth generation of Monitor Audio’s Silver Series loudspeakers.

Granted, it’s not quite the same generational distance as between Danny Dyer and King Edward III, for instance, but it’s still an impressively lengthy lineage. Especially when you consider how much we’ve enjoyed each previous incarnation.

This time, the focus has been on creating a family bond – a sonic character running like a bloodline through each of the nine models in the series.

Monitor Audio suggests its new Silver speakers become simply more powerful and dynamic the further you go up the range, without changing characteristics.
