Paradigm Monitor 11 Series 7 Floorstanding Speakers - New!- Brand new- Full 5-Year Mfg warranty- Black Ash and Heritage Cherry finishes- Rubber feet and spikes includedRome Wasnt Built in A Day. Neither Was Monitor.
It took three emperors and 15 years to build Romes colosseum,
architecture that still elicits awe centuries later. And while were not
so bold as to compare the colosseum to the new Series 7, you have to
admit the speakers look more than a little awesome in the backdrop
of Ancient Rome. Good architecture will stand up well over time, as
will good sonic architecture. Our Monitor Series 7 is a classic
example. Now in its seventh iteration, each new generation is an
opportunity for refinement: design innovations from our higher-priced
reference lineups, reference-quality component parts, cabinets and
even finishes! When it comes to getting value for your money, it
doesnt get better than Monitor Series 7. Since its inception, the
Monitor Series has been a favorite of audiophiles on a budget with
Series 7, that hasnt changed.
We cant promise it will still
be around in two thousand years, but we can promise it will play
louder, plumb deeper, look smarter and sound better than any other
brand in its price range.
The Building Blocks: Monitor Drivers
Advanced S-Pal Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Bass/Midrange Cones.
First seen in our Paradigm Reference lineup, very high
stiffness-to-mass ratio and outstanding internal damping. The result?
Remarkable midrange clarity, superb extended bass response and freedom
from unwanted resonances and distortions. In an affordable audio
category unbelieveable quality!
Advanced Carbon-Infused Injection-Molded Polypropylene Bass Cones.
The high mineral content and injection-molding process have created a
durable and rigid cone with affords us bragging rights for cone
consistency and repeatability.
Advanced S-Pal Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes
with powerful neodymium magnets and ferro-fluid cooling for increased
power handling! Highs are more soaring and spacious, crystal clear and
undiluted even at the higher bandwidths.
Wire Mesh Tweeter Guard and WaveGuide.
More Reference technology, ensuring a smooth, wide panorama of
audiophile-quality sound. Wire mesh protection for the pure-aluminum
tweeter.
Sophisticated crossovers in an affordable audiophile product!
Again, its almost unheard of: polypropylene film or bipolar
electrolytic capacitors, air core and laminated core inductors,
high-power resistors. Crossover topologies are first and second-order
with corresponding acoustic slopes of second and third-order providing
optimal bandwidth and seamless integration as drivers cross over.
Long-Travel Motor/Magnet Structures.
Despite fewer drivers than in previous series, floorstanding and
center channel speakers actually plumb deeper. This is, in part,
attributable to the advanced motor/magnet structures: high-temperature
copper or aluminum wire voice coils (varies by model) wound on Kapton
formers, oversized magnets with all components FEA-optimized.
Foam-Rubber Elastomer Surrounds. Reference Studio Series geometry!
Help achieve that play loud AND play deep effect by allowing longer, expertly controlled cone travel.
Baffled about Baffles? Dont Be!
For those of
you who are wondering. A baffle is the surface on which the speakers
or drivers are mounted. It prevents the front and rear sound waves
from interfering with each other causing sound cancellation, as well
as to absorb sound energy, particularly problematic reflected sound.
So a speaker baffle is pretty darn important.
The new Monitor Series 7 baffle is a work of art worthy of a spot in the arches of a colosseum. It boasts
A clean aesthetic, nothing to see but the the beautiful drivers, no screws or fasteners visible
- Thick and rigid ˝ MDF across the lineup
- FEA-optimized (including a stress analysis) to overcome the limitations of the physical materials.
- A modal frequency analysis allowed us to deliver the most
resonance-, vibration- and coloration-free Monitor Series cabinet to
date!
- Critically tuned to the rest of the cabinet
- Rap on the baffle youll hurt nothing but your knuckles!
The Roman Plinth
New Monitor floorstanders sit on a plinth, a sleek and secure base
that provides stability for the slimmer footprint an aesthetically
pleasing columnar look.
