The Range

Bronze BX blends the best of its award-winning BR predecessors with the technologies of our Platinum and RX ranges to set a new standard of performance and quality in its price class. The Bronze BX evolution features C-CAM® drivers, single bolt driver fixings, improved crossovers, HiVE reflex ports, magnetic grille attachment and no fewer than two vinyl wood finishes in Walnut and Black Oak. From the top of their beautifully made cabinets to their precision-machined footings, the seven slender Bronze BX models demonstrate an accomplished union of fidelity and style that evokes the truest spirit of Monitor Audio.

Ever more advanced computer simulation has allowed us to optimise the tweeter design for higher sensitivity, greater detail and a bandwidth that extends beyond 30kHz. The tweeter sits in a dedicated chamber, which incorporates graduated damping to reduce undesirable resonances for a smoother more accurate response. Optimised using FEA (Finite Elemental Analysis), the BX bass and mid-range drivers have improved voice-coil designs, strengthened chassis and more agile motor assemblies, producing greater linearity, efficiency, and a naturally even tonality. They’re secured on a single rigid through-bolt, which is fixed to the back of the cabinet rather than at the front baffle. This method, perfected for our RX and GX ranges, effectively decouples the driver from the cabinet, reducing colouration, improving system transparency and adding structural rigidity in the process.

In Bronze BX the benefits of our ceaseless search for audio purity and design excellence are dedicated to your enjoyment of music and film audio.

Standing Ovation

"The BX5 is a fun budget floorstander.  Graced with a big sound yet a strong sense of balance and control it works well as a high fidelity all rounder...So with a wide range of ability, from it's great sense of scale and control with big performances it will appeal to all those who like their music strong and fast."
