Exceptional Monitor Audio S2 speakers that MSRP for $750 for the pair. They are Walnut Real Veneer finish as in the first main photo. Second photo is just to show what the grills look like.Prefer local pick up in the Austin, TX area but am open to shipping if needed. The Silver S2 is a nicely finished speaker with elegant proportions. The cabinet is made from ¾" MDF, veneered on both sides and lined with foam. The crossover is mounted to a printed circuit board behind the two pairs of binding posts. The drivers are connected with fairly heavy-duty cable, and the connections are soldered, a nice touch at this price level. Summing up a professional review:
As I have commented before, the trick for the designer of an inexpensive speaker to pull off is to balance the tradeoffs so that, while his design will have some faults compared with cost-no-object models, none of these will be severe enough to interfere with the listening experience. Monitor Audio's designer appears to have done this with the Silver S2. While the speaker does have an identifiable character, being balanced on the warm, mellow side, this is probably a good thing, given inexpensive electronics' tendency to have glary trebles. The Silver S2 never gave less than enjoyable results, and is very well-finished considering its affordable price. Well worth a listen. Product Description 7-inch bass-mid driver
