Floorstanding loudspeakers — Monitor Audio Bronze 500

The Bronze 500 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Monitor Audio, part of the brand's accessible Bronze series, built with notably high sensitivity. The Bronze 500 brings Monitor Audio's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 32Hz to 30,000Hz at -6dB. Sensitivity is a notably high 90dB into the standard 8 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power spanning 60-200W. At 95.1 x 23.1 x 32.5cm and 18kg, the Bronze 500 represents a genuine floorstanding commitment consistent with Monitor Audio's accessible engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the notably high 90dB sensitivity, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes from even modest amplifier power.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and notably high 90dB sensitivity make the Bronze 500 compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Monitor Audio's own Silver 200 7G sits within a more accomplished current series at somewhat different specifications, worth comparing directly to find the right Monitor Audio floorstanding tier.
