Monitor Audio Bronze 5 Floorstanding Speakers – Black Ash

Here we have a nice pair of floorstanding loudspeakers from British company Monitor Audio. The Bronze 5 is the smaller of the two floorstanding models in the range and our pair come in very good condition with a couple of minor blemishes – please see photographs. They are supplied in original factory packaging, with grilles, bases, spikes, and our regular three month warranty.
Monitor Audio Say….
Monitor Audio’s story is intertwined with the evolution of our world-famous speaker lines. Driven by top-down innovation and ever more accurate acoustic analysis, each generation has grown in capability, achieving award-winning levels of quality, performance and value with every introduction.
Our restless desire for the most blissful combination of great sound and design at all price points, demands that where possible we share the technology across ranges so that driver designs and analytic tools developed upstream serve to enhance ranges further down.
For example this approach allows the Gold series to benefit from a version of Platinum’s extraordinary C-CAM ribbon tweeter; for Silver to inherit Gold’s ‘dished’ C-CAM driver designs, and similarly for Bronze to absorb the latest refinements in tweeter and driver engineering from the Silver project.
In many ways Bronze has everything to gain from Monitor Audio’s dynamic forty-year design heritage. Enriched as it is with elements of Platinum, Gold and Silver, the brilliant Bronze series will transcend the expectations of its price class and eclipse even its venerated multi-award winning predecessor Bronze BX.
The slender Bronze 5 delivers powerful, responsive bass lines that belie its stealthy appearance and surpass those of many much larger towers. Its 5½” C-CAM bass driver and 5½” C-CAM bass/mid driver are arranged in a two and half way system configuration, operating in separate acoustic chambers with front and rear firing HiVe II ports to provide differential tuning for higher efficiency and greater low frequency extension. The Bronze 5’s low-distortion architecture expertly combines clean, expressive mid and high frequencies with punchy room-filling bass lines. The Bronze 5 provides a naturally rhythmic and addictive blend of large-scale dynamics and detail from a surprisingly unobtrusive tower.
