Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G BO bookshelf speakers pair

Seven generations of greatness Monitor Audio's Silver 100 bookshelf speakers have long been a hit with the audiophile crowd.

That means clearer vocals, more realistic-sounding instruments, and sound you can enjoy for hours on end. These speakers aren't shy on bass either.

The Silver 100s use thick MDF (medium-density fiberboard) both to make the cabinets more durable and to resist vibrations that muddy sound and decrease sonic accuracy. The wood veneer finish is eye-catchingly beautiful and the included m
