“Monitor Audio’s big-boned Silver series floorstander gets off to a strong start thanks to a smart aesthetic and wallet-friendly pricing, and its appeal only grows when the music begins. The 500 7G’s sound is large scale, full range and peppered with detail, and it seems to expend no effort at all when asked to play loud.”
—Hi-Fi News, Outstanding Product
"Instruments sounded crisp and clear, not brittle or overexposed—just there, in the flesh, uncolored, emanating an oxygen-breathing life force. Transients were laser-fast, giving percussion notes snap and the music a rhythmic brio the Brits refer to as PRaT."
—Stereophile
