An evolution of the multi-award winning B2, the BR2 tunes the considerable talents of its forerunner to a new intensity. Improved crossover and driver designs combine to re-calibrate the capabilities of an acknowledged class champion, bringing greater dynamic expression, mid range clarity and lower distortion to lovers of music and film sound. Loaded with a 6 1/2" MMP®II bass driver and 1" C-CAM® tweeter, the BR2’s high quality cabinet mirrors the unobtrusive dimensions of the celebrated B2, and so is easy to position, even in smaller rooms. Compact in size, but equipped to reproduce sound of immense stature and detail, the BR2 represents a stunning advance from every angle.

  • New C-CAM® tweeter has greater sensitivity and response up to 30 kHz.
  • New MMP®II bass and mid-range drivers refined by FEA analysis.
  • New crossovers for cleaner more precise signal transfer.
  • Improved cabinet rigidity and stability.
  • High-quality terminal panels blend easy access with high-end functionality.
  • Choice of high quality pearlescent finishes.

Technology

Gold Dome C-CAM®

Gold Dome C-CAM®

The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats.

The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.

MMP® II

MMP® II

Metal Matrix Polymer driver cones have a polypropylene base loaded with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimise stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.

Monitor Audio polishes Bronze

"Nothing else at this price exudes luxury to the same extent as the BR2's...They're refined so they won't make a meal of aggressive recordings...detail resolution is excellent...when using more capable kit, the BR2's aren't the limiting factors most rivals would be...in every respect, these speakers are little gems you'll be thrilled!"

Monitor Audio BR2

"It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and in the case of the Monitor Audio Bronze BR2 speakers, we wholeheartedly agree...turn on and tune in, and the sense of scale and detail is instantly striking...even in our largest listening room, these speakers do a grand job of sending sound to every corner...we're greeted with deeper, rounder bass tones than we've heard anywhere else in this test...at the other end of the scale there's a real freshness and immediacy...the Monitor Audio Bronze Br2s really are exceptional all-rounders...they are a must-listen if you're looking to buy a pair of speakers in this price category."

Bronzes won't accept silver medal (BR2 AV system)

'This is a great package. For well below a grand, you get a fairly compact, beautifully made, lovely sounding 5.1 surround set-up...refined yet entertaining presentation...we tried a range of material...on each occasion these Monitor Audios let the soundtracks do their thing without hindrance or colouration. The same is true for music, as you would expect from the award winning fronts...this excellent package does everything we could ever reasonably ask for in a sub-£1000 package.'

There's a new kid in town

"Solid build, sonic performance and decent aesthetics make the BR2's a 'must audition'...the detail resolution, too, is superb for the money, so adding them to more capable kit won't see them out of their depth, unlike many rivals...if you're into your music and can't justify thousands of pounds on high-end speakers, these won't disappoint!..for unashamedly good speakers, there's no point in looking any further!"

Group test winner

"What you have here is a grown-up speaker with a budget price tag... the beauty of the BR2's is that they're so good...to find something markedly better, you'll probably have to spend twice as much... the dynamics on offer - at this price - exceptional...it really is incredibly hard to fault these speakers."
