Monitor Audio Bronze 100 vs the Silver 100

Is the Bronze 100 a massive step down when compared to the Silver 100? Or, is it just merely a cosmetically different? Or is it something in between? I too was curious about this as well.

Hey, I love your taste in all your audio gear. I'm at that age now close to retirement, my boys are grown men and finding audiophiles like you on You Tube to expand my knowledge of audio is the icing on the cake. Man, this is addictive stuff. There is nothing like coffee and my music to enjoy. Thanks for the visit to the candy store. I just subscribed.

Having auditioned both in my home and with over 30 years audiophile experience, the Silver 100 was obviously ahead of the Bronze 100 in every way and worth the extra money. I would say the Bronze is 80% of the speaker the silver is. The finish on the Bronze especially was much cheaper in feel and with my setup sounded noticeably more resonant and boxy. I also feel the Silver 100 has amp and source upgrade headroom over time which would be less beneficial if you had the Bronze.

I had a Bronze 100 previously but I changed to Silver 100 which is the sound a far better compared to the Bronze 100. The Silver 100 sounded crispier, better bass and clearer vocals.

[Pilgrim]

Thank you for your honest opinion, checking these two next week

[ramin]

Thank you for your review. Personally, I enjoy the sound of the Bronze 100 and the precision of the Silver 100 tweeter, and I'm a fan of Monitor Audio. I hope you will also review Bronze 500.

I recently auditioned a Bronze 100. For an entry level speaker, it sounded fine. I then listened to a Silver 50 (they didn't have a 100). The difference was quite surprising, far greater than the price differential would suggest. This made me a big fan of the Silver series. Sadly, they didn't have a Gold 100 for additional comparison.

Highs are freaky? Pls suggest as I am going for monitor bronze 100

I have a pair of MA Silver 200 7G and am looking for a centre speaker. I am debating between the bronze C150 or the higher lever silver C250 (and twice the cost almost). Since you seem to have similar perspectives to mine, what you go with ? I want better clarity for dialogue when listening to movies. I have an old Dahlquist center speaker and find myself having to augment the volume a lot to better hear the voices, then dropping it once an action scene starts. Thx!

[Mayhemz.]

there is a paid of silver 100's close to me, £350, possibly less if haggled, one set had a slight chip in the bottom middle, other than that they look great condition, i was thinking of pairing it with a denon avr x1700h, and then i would need a center and a sub, i would use it all for movie watching mainly, thoughts/input on center/sub to get?

[AugustLeeFrisk]

I have heard them side by side. To me the bronze is brighter and tinny. The silver sounds richer and fuller by a lot.

[bacarandii]

Even before I started researching reviews, the Silver 100 7G caught my eye because of that geometric pattern in the woofer. I love the way it looks. And now, having listened to a pair (in walnut) for several months, I love the big, open, dynamic, detailed, punchy sound of them, too. But I get a lot of pleasure out of just looking at them, even when they're not doing anything but looking handsome.

[RishiSaikia]

Have just got myself a pair of these (Bronze 100s). Conflicted between their pairing with CXA81 and the EVO75/150. Is there a noticeable difference? Would you recommend either of these pairings?

Very usefull review, I am hoping to get either the MA Silver 300 G7 or the 500 G7, for use as main hifi but also front for part of an atmos set up, I was toying with the idea of going bronze for the surround part of the system as its about half the cost of silver surround option, think after watching your video the Bronze looks like a great option for the surround set up :)

[Bradimus]

I have thr Bronze 100 as my mains. They're great for the money. I think the center channel os just okay. I wish there was a bronze series three way center. I don't expect it will happen but excuse to upgrade again one day!

[atziluth]

I was just scavenging for my "first nice level bookshelf speakers" and was thinking about the Bronzies 100s, which i found new for 400 euros here in Italy. To me it sounds like a bargain, what do you think about it?

[CinemaDemocratica]

I try so hard to get excited about Monitor Audio and I just can't get there. Obviously it's tough to parse what people say in reviews, but an awful lot of what I hear makes me think they'd sound like I would have expected them to sound -- metal-drivers, smile-shaped presentation, needs 90dB to sound cohesive. Maybe I'm just too old for that company's house sound.

Hello,

I have two pairs of Bronze 100, and one pair of Sylver 100.
The strangest thing is that my two pair of Bronze 100s do not sound the same, the two pairs of the bronzes do not have the same transiente response, the same extension in the bass, even vocal and instruments detaisl, one of them it's more or less in a V shape sound and another is flat. (I do not know why this is happening).
Now one of the pairs of my Bronzes 100s have a sound really close to the Sylver 100s (Like 95% or 99%), another pair of my bronze 100 is like 80% of the sylver 100.
I'm using an old Marantz SR4021, but i have tested both in the Marantz PM7000n and the Yamaha A-S501 and the result is the same.
I don't know if someone have the same anomaly with these speakers.
Sorry for my bad English.
And it was a good review.

[zvonimirtosic]

So, can you connect one Bronze speaker to the left channel and one Silver speaker to the right channel, and have best of both worlds?

[RanTausi]

I hsve the silver 100 6g in white, it is fantastic speakers.
