Monitor Audio Bronze 2 Speakers (Pair) (Walnut)

Product Information

Taking advantage of this apparent “deficiency” in our hearing was what made home theater practical for millions of homes. Five satellite speakers of reasonable size could now be used because they no longer required large woofers. A subwoofer (or two) can reproduce the lower octaves and it can be placed out of sight since its content is not directional. I knew these speakers were a serious piece of kit, from the moment i opened the box. The wood effect vinyl is quite attractive, compared to others i have seen and the overall fit and finish of these speakers is exceptional for the price. Monitor Audio has combined the designs of its flagship platinum series, gold series, and silver series into the Bronze series with years of experience. With overwhelming technological advantages, Monitor Audio creates famous masterpieces that surpass rivals at the same level.

Considering its position as both a hi-fi and home cinema speaker brand, and the sizable catalogue of models that it's typically offered, Monitor Audio has been rather slow to step into the Dolby Atmos arena. Now, however, it's selling an upfiring module for 3D audio lovers, and keeping the price low too. To get a better perspective on the real life size of Monitor Audio Bronze 2, let's compare it with a standard size Compact Disc which has a diameter of 4.7inch (120mm). Acoustic Panels and Treatments: Your room is as important as your stereo equipment so acoustic treatments goes a long way in improving the overall performance.As for the BX Centre, it shares the BX2’s elegance and heavyweight build quality but this time with twin 140mm C-CAM drivers that flank the 25mm tweeter.

The Bronze 2 is the larger of two standmount models in a line-up starting with the Bronze 1, and going all the way up to the Bronze 6 floor standers, taking in dedicated center and surround speakers, plus a powered subwoofer, along the way. That pattern is echoed all the way up the range, offering the buyer the choice of either a no-frills dedicated stereo set-up, or the ability to build a surround system without compromising two-channel quality.Launched in May 2015, the current Bronze Series is the latest generation of a line-up that’s been a mainstay of the Monitor Audio offering for some years, and develops the old BX range with the adoption of technology from further up the hierarchy. The tweeter is the familiar 25mm ‘Gold Dome’ Monitor Audio model, but the more striking visual aspect of the speaker – and indeed the entire Bronze range – is the use of a 16.5cm ‘dish’ C-CAM driver for the mid/bass, this enabling the whole diameter of the driver to be used as the radiating area, without the change in geometry at the center caused by a conventional center-cap or phase-plug design. Monitor Audio Bronze 2 Review: BOLT MOUNT DRIVERS Class-leading drive units can only perform at their best if housed within a decent cabinet and here, once again, the Bronze range excels. The 21/15mm (baffle/cabinet) MDF construction features internal bracing for reduced vibration – giving cleaner, less distorted audio. Silver-plated, oxygen-free copper internal cable gives the highest quality current transfer, keeping the signal optimised. Lightning in a bottle. How do you trap it and, perhaps more importantly, how do you keep it bottled up? Monitor Audio’s popular Bronze speaker range, now in its sixth generation, makes for a particularly good case study. The Monitor Audio BX2 was a very high selling and popular speaker, now they have improved it and made the all-new Bronze Two. It includes a bigger 6.5-inch C-CAM bass driver, C-CAM dome tweeter, the ability to bi-wire and high-quality crossovers. If you're looking for a high performing yet compact bookshelf speaker to fit into your current Hi-Fi or AV set up, then the Bronze Two will fit very nicely.Adjust the height, once you've established where the speakers will stay. Either the height of the speakers or the height of you. Play some music. Most speakers sound best when you are at or below the height of the tweeter. Are you looking at a five-star set of standmount speakers, as reviewed by this publication? You are – in fact the Bronze 2s are a permanent fixture in our best budget hi-fi speakers 2020 roundup. Have said speakers actually won a What Hi-Fi? Award? Indeed, in 2018, although the '2' cornerstone of Monitor Audio's standmounter output has taken home a slew of them over the years. We’re impressed by the Bronze 2s' ability to stay composed, even at high volumes, and by the scale of their presentation. For the most part there are no rough edges here. This is a carefully-honed pair of speakers that brim with refinement.

Speaker Cables without Connectors: If you are not sure about the lenght or need longer than standard cables with plugs, choose this option. For their size, these speakers dig deep in the bass; they’re tonally balanced and impressively detailed too. Add fine build and Monitor Audio’s usual high standard of finish and there’s much to applaud here.The 5 main speakers look very well positioned, maybe the sub would sound better if it wasn't in the corner, or if it has to go in the corner you could try it pointing in different directions to see if that helps. Are you eq'ing it with your AVR, and does your AVR give you any of the curve details?
