Monitor Audio’s Bronze speakers – especially their ‘2’ moniker standmounts – were our go-to recommendation for budget speakers for many years. The five-star Bronze BX2 (from 2010) and the Bronze 2 (from 2015) have multiple Award wins to their name, and while the last model, the three-star Bronze 100, didn’t reach the impressive heights of their more celebrated predecessors, we have high hopes that the brand is back on fighting form with the new seventh generation of Bronze speakers.
Previous generations of this Bronze standmounter usually sat in the £250-£350 range in the UK, but the new Bronze 50 7G is yours for £500 ($849 / AU$1099), which brings it into direct competition with the Award-winning Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 (now £449). The speakers are also within reach of two newly minted five-star speakers, the Acoustic Energy AE300 Mk2 and KEF Q3 Meta, both tested at £649.
