The Silver G6 all use the latest iteration of the company’s C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Magnesium and Aluminum) drivers.  Take the bass driver, Silver 100 uses an eight inch design, this is a continuous cone with no dust cap. This allows for the driver to be a single section without any perforations to weaken it. Additional strength is then added via the principle of Rigid Surface Technology (RST). This examines the driver via the process of Finite Element Analysis and adds strength where needed in the form of the dimples that start towards the centre of the cone and gradually deepen as you head to the outer edge. The result is that the driver weighs effectively no more than it would were it smooth and is considerably stiffer.

The tweeter is also a C-CAM unit but in more traditional Monitor Audio fashion is gold covered. This covering is applied to an extremely specific thickness over the top of the aluminium magnesium alloy to ensure that the behaviour of the tweeter is as consistent as possible. Monitor Audio claims an upper frequency response of 35kHz which from my suburban listening room is pretty much impossible to prove. As with so many tweeters, the critical aspect of these super high frequency responses is more that the tweeter should be entirely at home reproducing frequencies in the audible part of the spectrum. The tweeter has a fair amount to do too. It crosses over to the mid bass driver at 2.8kHz, not as low as some speakers we’ve seen of late but still giving it a fair amount to do. The Silver also has the option to biwire.
