Entry-Level in Price — Not in Performance

Monitor Audio, the UK-based hi-fi staple with a legacy stretching back to the 1970s, has just launched the 7th-generation Bronze Series — its most affordable range of loudspeakers, now completely overhauled to punch far above its price class.

Dubbed the Bronze Series 7G, this new lineup isn’t just a refresh — it’s a full redesign. With upgraded materials, acoustic enhancements, and multi-channel system options, Monitor Audio claims this new generation sets “a new benchmark for entry-level performance.”

What’s in the Lineup?

The 7G series includes five loudspeaker models designed for both stereo and home theater configurations:

Bronze 50 7G – Compact bookshelf speakers
Bronze 300 7G – 2.5-way floorstanding towers
Bronze Centre 7G – Dedicated center channel
Bronze On-Wall 7G – Space-saving wall-mount speakers
Bronze AMS 7G – Dolby Atmos modules

Note: Subwoofers aren’t included in the range — but Monitor Audio recommends pairing with its new Vestra Series subwoofers (10", 12", or 15") for deeper low-end performance.

Home Theater, Made Easy

Monitor Audio offers three home theater bundles based on this new Bronze lineup:

🔉 5.1 setup with bookshelf speakers
🔉 5.1 setup with floorstanding speakers
🔊 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos system — the ultimate Bronze experience

Each includes a Vestra subwoofer and is tuned for immersive, room-filling sound.

Technology & Design Upgrades

This isn’t a simple cosmetic update. Monitor Audio claims it has gone back to the drawing board with meaningful tech enhancements across the board:

🧪 New C-CAM Gold Dome TweeterA lightweight, ultra-rigid aluminum-magnesium dome improves time alignment and delivers wider directivity with crisper highs.
🔷 Hexagonal Grille DesignAdds a jewel-like visual element while protecting the tweeter — turning it into a centerpiece.
🔊 Upgraded 6" Mid-Bass DriverWith larger voice coils and magnets for higher sensitivity and better control.
🪵 18mm Plywood BaffleEnhances cabinet rigidity, reducing resonance for a cleaner, more transparent sound.
🦶 Premium Feet, Borrowed from the Silver SeriesHelp eliminate unwanted vibrations, further improving sonic precision.
