"Monitor Audio's RS8 is a lot of speaker for the money, offering dynamite looks and a fine mix of sonic virtues, centering on a dynamically alive and transparent sound." - Chris Martens, The Perfect Vision Magazine

If you’re looking for a bold, dynamic loudspeaker with extended low frequency bandwidth and loudness capability, you've come to the right place. The RS8 features dual 6 1/2 inch C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminum Magnesium) woofers, a 6 1/2 inch C-CAM midrange driver, and a 1-inch C-CAM gold dome tweeter.

The RS8 woofers and midrange driver incorporate new edge-wound voice coils to provide increased efficiency, output, and power handling. The new voice coils have more copper and heat capacity than conventional voice coils resulting in 91dB efficiency and 175-watt power handling for the RS8. The speaker's dynamic range is also increased because the 'start-and-stop' of the new voice coil more efficiently converts incoming signal into motion.

The RS8's 2 1/2 way, four driver design is optimized by an integral structure of dedicated driver chambers (a sealed enclosure for the midrange and a ported enclosure for the dual woofers) providing increased bass extension while maintaining high overall efficiency.

Other RS8 features include:

• Woofer and midrange driver chassis made of a non-magnetic, glass-infused cast polymer to damp unwanted resonance.
• New bi-wire 'ready' gold-plated cable terminals.
• Rigid MDF plinth for stability, including adjustable feet and a choice of spikes or rubber pads.
• Smooth, contoured cabinet edges and select premium quality finishes on all surfaces give the Silver range an unrivaled appearance at this price level. All Silver models are available in Rosenut, Walnut, Cherry, or Black Oak 'matched' wood veneers. Our matched pairs use wood sheets cut from the same log section to assure color and grain consistency.

"The presentation is confident, engaging and superbly detailed. The clean and uncluttered top-end communicates impressively, while dialog comes across in a crisp and natural manner" (Silver RS A/V system with RSLCR center) WHAT HI-FI Sound and Vision Magazine

"The RSLCR works well vertically and horizontally, making it a good option for the center channel. While the RS8 towers do provide greater bass extension than the RS6, either can be mixed in [with the RSLCR] without worry of mis-matches in key midrange frequencies." Danny Richelieu, Widescreen Review Magazine

The Silver RSLCR is designed to deliver superior dialog intelligibility and contribute to accurate sound localization in a home theater system. To this end, the RSLCR is 'timbre-matched' to the Silver RS1, RS6, RS8, and RSFX speakers and the RSW12 powered subwoofer. Timbre-matched means that all speakers used in a home theater system have the same tonal quality for seamless left-to-right and front-to-back 'pans'.

The RSLCR features dual 6 1/2 inch C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminum Magnesium) woofers and a 1 inch C-CAM gold dome tweeter, in a 2-way bass-reflex configuration.

The RSLCR woofers incorporate new edge-wound voice coils to provide increased efficiency, output, and power handling. The new voice coils have more copper and heat capacity than conventional voice coils resulting in 91dB efficiency and 120-watt power handling for the RSLCR. The speaker's dynamic range is also increased because the 'start-and-stop' of the new voice coil more efficiently converts incoming signal into motion.

Other RSLCR features include:

• Woofer chassis made of a non-magnetic, glass-infused cast polymer to damp unwanted resonance.
• New bi-wire 'ready' gold-plated cable terminals.
• Symmetric grille design and rear-mounted logo allows for vertical or horizontal bookshelf positioning.
• Smooth, contoured cabinet edges and select premium quality finishes on all surfaces give the Silver range an unrivaled appearance at this price level. All Silver models are available in Rosenut, Walnut, Cherry, or Black Oak 'matched' wood veneers. Our matched pairs use wood sheets cut from the same log section to assure color and grain consistency.

The Silver RSFX speakers are the perfect surround mates for Silver RS home theater systems because they share driver technology with their range counterparts ensuring the seamless integration of surround sound channels.

The RSFX will create a diffuse or direct sound field for movie and multi-channel audio applications with a simple flick of a switch. The RSFX is easily configured for use as a dipole speaker (diffuse sound) or bipole speaker (direct sound) by setting the rear-panel switch.

The RSFX discreet, angled baffle design incorporates a single, front-firing 6 1/2 inch C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminum Magnesium) woofer and dual, side-firing 1 inch C-CAM gold dome tweeters.

The RSFX woofer incorporates a new edge-wound voice coil to provide increased efficiency, output, and power handling. The new voice coil has more copper and heat capacity than a conventional voice coil resulting in 89dB efficiency and 100-watt power handling for the RSFX. The speaker's dynamic range is also increased because the 'start-and-stop' of the new voice coil more efficiently converts incoming signal into motion.

Other RSFX features include:

• Woofer chassis made of a non-magnetic, glass-infused cast polymer to damp unwanted resonance.
• Gold-plated cable terminal.
• Attractive design and wall-mounting hardware allows for discrete placement on rear or side walls.
• Smooth, contoured cabinet edges and select premium quality finishes on all surfaces give the Silver range an unrivaled appearance at this price level. All Silver models are available in Rosenut, Walnut, Cherry, or Black Oak 'matched' wood veneers. Our matched pairs use wood sheets cut from the same log section to assure color and grain consistency.

"The RSW12 is a beautiful subwoofer that can hold its own with even the most demanding of soundtracks. The design is fast and accurate, which matches the other RS loudspeakers well. The RSW12 can play loud, while still maintaining its tight, quick accuracy, which make it a good choice for many applications." - Danny Richelieu, Widescreen Review Magazine

Although the new RSW12 takes its cosmetic cues from the Monitor Audio Silver range, this subwoofer is a great bass solution for any theater system. The RSW12 combines a 12-inch C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminum Magnesium) woofer with a massive 4-inch voice coil, driven by a powerful 500-watt amplifier in an acoustic suspension cabinet to provide loud, controlled bass down to 21Hz!

The RSW-12's forward-firing woofer, compact cabinet (13 1/2 x 13 1/2 x 14 3/4 inches), and premium wood and lacquer finish options make it perfect for in-cabinet applications or inconspicuous in-room placement.

Other RSW12 features include:

• Woofer chassis made of die-cast aluminum.
• Top-mounted bass volume control and a choice of two EQ settings offer easy user access.
• LFE and line-level stereo inputs.
• Line-level stereo outputs for daisy-chaining an additional subwoofer.
• Adjustable low-pass filter and phase (0-180 degrees) controls.
• Manual on/off, or auto on/off controls.
• Smooth, contoured cabinet edges and select premium quality finishes on all surfaces give the Silver range an unrivaled appearance at this price level. All Silver models are available in Rosenut, Walnut, Cherry, or Black Oak 'matched' wood veneers. Our matched pairs use wood sheets cut from the same log section to assure color and grain consistency.
