Familiarity can breed contempt, they say. Well, Monitor Audio's Bronze BR2s prove how wrong ‘they' can be. The BR2's are not that fussy about room positioning, only reminder is: put them not to close in a corner. Isn't that possible: a pair of sponge bungs are included to reduce dominating bass. 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?

Speaker Cables without Connectors: If you are not sure about the lenght or need longer than standard cables with plugs, choose this option. 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. The speakers are perfect for the listen in to small to medium-sized rooms. The Bronze speaker can also be used with a subwoofer and they can be impressive as home cinema systems for larger rooms. These also offer by-amping, hence they are perfect for higher-end hi-fi systems and AV receivers. Top-to-bottom balance is very well realised, too. The presence region isn’t pushed for effect and, as a result, vocals don’t tend to have that in-your-lap projection you get with some speakers. Take Mavis Staples’ singing All In It Together – a powerful and passionate set of pipes if ever there was. The performance sounds startlingly bold, immediate and raw, but without being gratingly aggressive or edgy. Better still, Core Shift from Yello’s album Point probably shows the Bronze 500 at its big-hearted best, the speaker seeming to draw effortless horsepower from somewhere, spraying stereo effects across the room with gusto and launching dynamic swings that feel almost dangerous. Huge fun.

Next, we come to Bronze BX’s big daddy, the BXW-10 active subwoofer. It’s equipped with a new 10in C-CAM long-throw driver and a 200W Class-D power amplifier, while on the outside the sturdy build quality, living-room friendly looks and surprisingly diminutive sealed cabinet ooze style and quality without making huge demands on your space. Fast forward almost two decades, 6th Bronze generation is about to come to the market and I found myself looking at the nicely discounted Bronze 2 of 5th generation. I really wanted to revisit the budget offering of this British manufacturer so two days later I took them out of the box, and two weeks later I bring you this review. BUILD AND FEATURES Featuring Monitor Audio’s famous C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, the sound is every bit as crisp as you’d expect from this premium design. The latest developments add a UD (Uniform Dispersion) waveguide for a more focused and precise sound. Now featuring MA’s signature, hexagonal pattern grille, the tweeters look better than ever, 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). 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 users of Monitor Audio’s Bronze series are all audio enthusiasts obsessed with music and demand sound quality. Monitor Audio adopts the famous golden treble technology in the Bronze series, presenting a crystal clear treble effect. The bass part utilizes self-developed aluminum-magnesium alloy high-strength patented vibrating cone technology, which expresses all low-frequency details that are clear, strong, and just right, attracting the favor of countless enthusiasts.

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. For the rear channels, Monitor Audio has opted for dual-mode speakers with a switch that allows you to select bipole or dipole dispersion, depending on whether they’re placed on the side or rear wall or whether you want a direct or diffuse sound. Each speaker is equipped with a front-facing 140mm C-CAM mid/bass driver, flanked by two 25mm C-CAM tweeters on angled baffles. The grilles are attached using plugs, but in every other respect the construction is on a par with the rest of the system.Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited. Also i have listened them for about while and for comparison the jbl' speakers was brand new from the box with no extra time to settle. I even upgrade Yamaha's firmware and even perform factory reset but still no expected sound. I repeat bass and treble is on the max level. I have no room to play less because sound is flat I even played with speakers positions.... Nothing changed. Im hopeless If someone ask why you don't return them simply i can't because im from Macedonia and i buy my hifi from UK. 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.
