Strength:
Clear & transparent sound quality without hurting one's pocket. Very good value for money.
Weakness:
Lack deep bass but one should not expect too much from a "bookshelf" type speakers. I've had the year 2000 Monitor Audio Bronze 2 for 7 years now and I'm still pretty happy with the sound quality. Used to hook these up bi-wired on sand-filled solid stands to a Marantz PM-57 amplifier & Marantz CD4000 CD player. Used to think that these speakers could not produce any bass at all untill I upgraded my amplifier to a LFD MI100 (SE) with a used Meridian Audio 206B CD player and now the bass is there, albeit, not deep bass but should not expect much from a "bookshelf" type speakers. Imaging, details, vocal and soundstage are all very credible for the price. |

Strength:
Good vocals
Weakness:
Tweeter is tizzy on the top end
From all of the reviews here you would think these speakers are giant killers. They are not. They are very good sounding monitor speakers, but not more. I have the newer versions with only one port which look spectacular, but blow me away with port wind. I can sit over 12 feet away and still get port wind in my face. It is very distracting to me when I am trying to critically listen to these speakers, and I have now sold them. Not just because of the port, but because they don't make me want to listen to them. They are very good for a $300 pair of speakers, but I am just not happy with them and they have been replaced. Similar Products Used: many, many, many |

Strength:
Detail
Weakness:
For a mere £180?.. absolutely none! After reading numerous reviews, i decided to treat myself to a pair of Monitor Audio's Bronze BR2's, an evolution of the multi-award winning B2.

Strength:
Crisp, detailed but not bright treble.
Weakness:
um....
After spending months researching and demoing bookshelf speakers at around the£150 - £200 mark, i started to lose faith that i could get anything near the sound i wanted for the money. I listened to the Mordaunt Short 902i, Wharefedale Diamonds and various TDL's. Then after reading reviews on this site I thought i would take the plunge with the Monitor Audio bronze B2's. i found them for a ridiculously low price of £112 on Hughesdirect.co.uk. Straight out of the box they sound detailed and crisp. I have had them biwired from set-up so cant comment on the difference this makes. All I do know is that they sound incredible. They have been burned in for about 70hrs now with calssical, rock, dance, electronic music and the improvements has mainly come in the smoothness of bass. These things go really low for Bookshelf speakers. On some tracks you can actually FEEL bass. Something i wasn't expecting from a bookshelf speaker. This has given me the bass bug and am currently looking at subs to compliment these gems. The only negative would be imaging can sometimes bea little muddled. But I think that might be due to the speakers revealing poor ly recorded and mastered discs. Monitor Audio have just released an update of these speakers which What HiFi have called the best budget speakers around. Believe the Hype. Buy a pair today. Similar Products Used: Used with Rotel RA-01 Amp, DenonDCD-685 CD player, Apple Powerbook.

Strength:
COMPULSIVE, FOCUSSED AND NATURAL SOUND. SHEAPER SPEAKERS.
Weakness:
NOTHING AT THIS PRICE. I BOUGHT THESE WONDERFULL SPEAKERS AND I'M VERY HAPY WITH THEM.THEY PRODUCE A FOCUSSED,BIG,NATURAL AND DETAILED SOUND. BUT FOR THEM TO GIVE YOU IT YOU HAVE TO BURN WELL THEM. FIX IT WITH BLUTAC ON YOUR SPEAKER STANDS AND FILL THE STANDS WITH SAND.THE RESULT IS AMAZING.THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE GOOD,POWERFULL AND TIGH BASS. MY SISTEM IS : NAD C 320 BEE, NAD C 521 BEE.
