According to our HiFi speaker expert
If you want to listen to powerful tones in small spaces, the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 is the one for you. This passive bookshelf speaker has a compact size, but provides a full sound. This is because the 2-way design contains a 160mm woofer. Due to the bass reflex system, you can listen to a deep and undistorted bass. Above the woofer you'll find a 25mm tweeter that keeps the treble clear. Both the sound of a song and a movie soundtrack sound pure and dynamic. For a powerful surround set, combine the speakers with the Bronze center speaker, subwoofer, and column speakers.

First patience, second patience, then third patience. Opinions vary on the web about speaker response, well these make it clear. they sound new. Only after an hour or 30 and on volume do they come loose and after an hour or 40-50, a bit lost, then they are suddenly there. in the beginning those sponges had to be put in, they are now gone. good cables are important, no fairy hair, but just thick (2x3mm on 3 meters of cable) good copper with good plugs. and then put the plus on the high side and the minus on the low with the bridges in it. After I did that my refills were safe, metal tweeters can be painful. but when they are loose, super, clear and open, as if there is a little space between the instruments, tight bass, could be a little deeper. I added a sub and with a NAD 3020D you have to spend more than double to get better. When I went to buy the sub, I listened to the first one, there were Dali spector 3 on, when I told them I had this one, they switched to another set of Dali, which costs per piece what these do per set. and... No joke, these are not inferior on the contrary, Dei Dali's were disappointing. But it takes really frustratingly long, I almost sent them back when I let them rumble for another day and they finally came off. Tip turn them off Phase, so turn the plus minus on a speaker then put them opposite each other at 30 cm and play, the bass cancels each other out so you can just go away for a day without the neighbors kicking in the door when you come back .

Funny, read a review here that they had to be played for a long time and I took them new out of the box, plugged them in and immediately found them very pleasant. I also find the highs not sharp at all, but rather subdued .. The whole speaker comes across very well balanced. Tested for this, Dali Zensor 3, too sharp in the highs, a lot of dynamics but tiring, Elac debut b6.2, could not appeal to me, as if the music was locked in 2 separate speakers, wharfedale diamond 220, sorry about me really crap, aggressive in the highs, weak in the lows, poor balance. I'll let the Monitor Audios play for a few more days, I think they can stay...

You can differ on the design with the bass port at the front, but if it's your thing, then there is nothing to complain about for this money. Sounds just as good as its doubly expensive English competitors and is superior in purity, especially in the deep lows. If there must be something to complain about, then they should have made the speaker connections deeper in the cabinet and also in such a way that a banana plug fits in completely. Unfortunately they are only half way there now.
But you will hardly find this price/quality ratio from any other brand.
