I am in the market for speakers and recently demoed ADS L-810s. Wonderful sound, powered by the Rega Elicit-R. This, of course, led me down the vintage rabbit hole, an area of which I was ignorant, only to discover my father’s generation of high fidelity was actually pretty good.
That said, I...
Happy new year,
I have an old pair of Monitor Audio Silver 3i with a damaged tweeter. Don't ask how this happened......it did and I ma left with the results you see.
The options that I have thought of are
A) Get a replacement diaphragm / voice coil and try a repair. The problem with this is I...
Hi all!!!
I am setting up a vintage listening room and currently have available:
- Dual 1229 turntable with Stanton 681 or liquid music
- LEAK Stereo 70 or Fisher X-100 amplifier.
As speakers, I wanted to stay on something "English sound" with big size since the room is not small (6x8m or so)...
Hi folks—-it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here on AK!
So, I own a 5.1 set of Monitor Audio’s Silver S series that includes the S6 towers, S1 bookshelves, LCR Center, and an FB110 sub. And I absolutely LOVE them, especially with my Parasound gear.
Every tiny bit of info on them...
I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of Monitor Audio RX6 speakers in perfect condition for $350. I was hoping someone could provide some personal feedback on these speakers?
I am currently running a pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1's on a Sansui AU-X701. I listen to a wide variety of...
Hey all,
Previous casual vinyl listener here - trying to upgrade my setup. I am definitely not looking for anything top of the line or groundbreaking, just hoping to get ahold of some solid, quality gear that will compliment each other well and make for a nice setup.
I am pretty new to...
Monitor Audio Silver rs8's currently driven by a peachtree nove 65se. I'm happy with the sound, but not ecstatic. I use a lot of qobuz run directly from my iphone into the dac on the peachtree. My first thought is that I'd benefit from more wpc. At times I feel I'm missing the breadth of...
Good day subwoofer afficianados,
I have an old Monitor Audio subwoofer who's guts I want to transfer into a custom enclosure of the same volume but with modified dimensions to better fit the new location in the room. Building the enclosure gives me the opportunity to overcome the shortcomings...
Having finished my 1970s Sanyo speaker upgrade project to add bluetooth and battery power - details here - time to get on with upgrading a set of Sony SS-210s. As before, I'm very much an amateur enthusiast, so learning as I go.
I call this a resto-mod, which is very popular in the classic car...
There is a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8i near me for what looks to be a reasonable price. Does anyone have experience with these?
Also, I have seen them listed as both 4 and 8 ohm speakers online. Can anyone confirm which is correct? 8 ohms would be less stress on my vintage amps...
I currently use a pair of Pioneer bs22 bookshelves and a Sansui 5500 45watt receiver. I've had the Pioneers since 2013, and am ready for a major improvement.
I'm in the market for a larger and generally better set of efficient speakers (read fuller, more clarity, etc) and had decided on the...
Hello, I am new to this community, and am hoping to receive some advice and recommendations for upgrading my speakers, receiver and turntable.
First off, I wanted to provide you with some background information on my current equipment and room dimensions.

Hello all,
McIntosh C20 vs Luxman CL34
I currently have Monitor Audio GX200 (2 x 5.5" bass driver; 1 x 4" mid-range driver; 1 x ribbon transducer) and an Accuphase P300 amp with Primaluna Dialogue Premium Preamp. I'm looking for a different preamp as the PrimaLuna isn't doing it for me...
Hi,
I’m trying to establish what Monitor Audio doped these domes with. It appears to be a yellow-brown liquid, I guess most probably a type of glue, any ideas?
I’ve always liked these tweeters but certain frequencies do ring a little, to my ear anyway, so I can understand why MA decided to...
Hi, any good suggestions on a best value integrated amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver 100 at three price range (i.e. <&1000, $1500 & <$2000)? I'm believe Monitor Audio Silver 100 is leaning to a bright to neutral sound signature and hoping to balance it with a more musical amplifier (leaning...
Hi everyone,
I’m new at this forum and current looking for a speakers for my vintage stereo with 110W/channel for a 430 sqft. living area. Currently, I‘ve shortlisted KEF LS50 ($900), Focal 726 ($1399) and MA Silver 100 ( $1100). I’ve demo the speakers separately with different amplifiers...
Would these be a good match or are the speakers not high end enough for this amp?
Amp specs
Power output: 200 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)
Frequency response: 5Hz to 100kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.002%
Damping factor: 100
Input sensitivity: 0.15mV (MC), 2.5mV (MM), 150mV (line)...
Ok, let me introduce myself as the most uneducated guy on this forum. I've been trying to build my AV system in my mancave for some time. I had been running a mid level Sony AVR with Monitor Silver 9I's, Monitor sub, Klipsch sub, Definitive Tech Pro 1000's as sides & rears & Klipsch center. I...
Hi Everyone -
Looking for some info perhaps on a pair of Monitor Audio towers I've found nearby. The price is LOW. 20.00 for the pair.
I'm fairly certain that is the Monitor Audio logo showing on the bottom face of these speakers. Can anyone concur? Does anybody know the model number of these...
I had just watched this old review from Thomas & Stereo where he gushed uncharacteristically about their sound quality. I find him to be the most reasonable YouTube reviewer, rarely going into hyperbole about every new piece of equipment he gets and always reminding people of the context of HiFi...
I’ve been hearing about using “pro” amps in favor of more expensive consumer amps for a while now. On a lark, I picked up a crown XTI 2000 about a year ago. I hadn’t really needed it in then, but it was too good a deal to pass up and it promptly entered my stack of unused audio equipment. “Mount...
I’ve been at this a while and I think I’m happy with my set up. Went integrated tube with Rogue Cronus Magnum II. Upgraded to Telefunken 12AX7 tubes from the stock JJs. I’m very happy. Although my ears are old I was amazed at the improvement over my Rogue Metis preamp paired with an Adcom...
I picked up a pair of old Monitor Audio MA5 over the weekend. Nice real vaneer cabinets that were recently sanded and oiled. Drivers in prefect condition; A KEF B200 SP1014 mid/low and an Isophon tweeter. Little online about them and low resale prices. Couldn’t resist trying them out for the...
I have lived with the Silver 6 for several months now, and love the sound more than any other speaker I've owned. Clarity, resolution is excellent. A two-and-a-half-way design, the upper woofer is tuned via a port high on the rear of the cabinet to a higher frequency (handing the mids) than...
