Powerful sound from a three-way tower I had the opportunity to audition Monitor Audio's Silver 300 floor-standing speaker prior to its launch. Despite its relatively modest size, this beautiful speaker created a huge, lifelike soundstage that left a smile on my face. Read on for a closer look at what's under the hood, along with some notes from my listening session. Monitor Audio's Silver 300 floor-standing speaker includes outrigger feet to provide a sturdy foundation on your floor (shown in satin white with grille removed). Six generations of Silver speakers The Silver 300 is part of Monitor Audio's Silver "6G" Series - the sixth generation of the company's "sweet spot" speaker lineup, which falls between their Bronze and Gold Series speakers. The 300 is a step-up from the Silver 200, sporting an additional woofer and a three-way design. Great sound starts with a high-quality enclosure The clear, distortion-free sound of the Silver 300 is in part due to its carefully designed rock-solid enclosure, which resists vibration that can color sound and reduce clarity. The included outrigger feet screw into the bottom of the speaker to provide a sturdy foundation. Powerful and articulate bass and midrange The Silver 300 uses two 6" woofers to dish out hard-hitting, responsive bass that adds soul and punch to music and movie soundtracks. A dedicated 4" midrange driver lets the woofers focus solely on low frequencies. Monitor Audio uses an advanced crossover network to ensure smooth, full-range sound throughout this speaker's frequency range. Crystal-clear high frequencies One of the coolest things about the Silver 6 Series is that each speaker in the lineup - regardless of design or size - uses the same 1" gold dome tweeter. This ensures that you're getting clear, detailed highs and realistic reproduction of instruments, vocals, and dialogue from every speaker in your system. Use a pair of the Silver 300s as part of a high-end stereo system, or as the front channels of
