A bigger bookshelf speaker with room-filling scale
The Monitor Audio Bronze 100 Book Shelf Speakers are the natural step up from the Bronze 50, with a larger cabinet and an 8 inch C-CAM driver for a fuller, more confident sound. A rear HiVe II port makes them easy to position, and Monitor Audio's build quality means they look as good as they sound. They are sold as a pair.
Why You'll Love It
- Bigger, grander sound. The larger cabinet and 8 inch driver deliver more scale and authority than the smaller Bronze 50, for music and movies alike.
- Easy to place. The rear HiVe II port is tuned so you can position the speakers near a wall without upsetting the sound.
- Sensible to drive. At 87 dB sensitivity and 8 Ω nominal impedance, they match happily with amplifiers from 30 to 100 watts.
Under the Hood
- 8 inch C-CAM bass-mid driver. Updated cone geometry and Damped Concentric Mode technology give a deeper, fuller sound while keeping the presentation clean.
- Gold Dome tweeter with UD waveguide. The 25 mm C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter crosses over at 2,200 Hz for a lifelike, well-integrated top end.
- Quality wiring and terminals. Gold-plated bi-wire terminals and Pureflow silver-plated oxygen-free copper cabling keep the signal path clean.
CHT Insider Verdict
The Bronze 100 is the pick of the Bronze bookshelf range for anyone with a little more space and a wish for more low-end weight. It keeps the clarity of the smaller models but adds the scale that makes larger rooms and home cinema work properly. With bi-wire terminals and easy amplifier requirements, it is a flexible foundation for a system that can grow.
Pro Tip: Use the gold-plated bi-wire terminals to bi-wire or bi-amp for a cleaner result, or add Bronze AMS Atmos modules on top later for a home cinema setup.
