Where I Purchased - Met up with a nice local guy.
Listed Price - $160
Price Paid - $140
Condition -90% (not counted in the Average Guy Hi-Fi score)
Some normal wear but in near perfect condition overall. Great shape, the previous owner took very good care of these speakers.
Quality - 8.5
Love the build quality of these compact speakers! The veneer is too-notch, the binding posts are high quality along with the woofer and tweeter.
These are very well engineered speakers, that’s apparent from the first time you grab them.
Sound - 8.5
These are very well rounded speakers. I wouldn’t say that they are world beaters at a single category but the bass extends nice and low, the highs are crisp and detailed and they have nice punch.
MSRP Rating - 7.0
These were still a great value when they came out but the competition is pretty steep at $700 pair. Brands like Aperion Audio, Bowers & Wilkins and Klipsch has some serious contenders in this price range. Still a very good score though!
Aesthetics - 7.5
These are great looking speakers, no doubt about it. With the grills off, they are a little flashy but with the grills on, they will blend into most decor beautifully.
If you follow this channel, you will know that I love white woofer speakers and these are no exception.
Price Paid Value - 9.0
At $140, it’s going to be hard to beat this deal on name brand speakers, like Monitor Audio. These are the types of speakers that will give you years of enjoyment, especially if you know that you only paid speaker stand money for them:)
Average Guy HiFi Rating - 40.1/50 = 81%
Final Thoughts -
Monitor Audio never ceases to amaze me with their high quality, beautiful sound and affordable prices.
I think these smaller bookshelf speakers just might surprise you!

I love the look of these!
Pretty sharp looking, that’s for sure. The slight rounded edges and real veneer were a nice touch!
They sounded great also. Win, win!
Great review! Keep it up.
Thank you! These already sold and like usual, I was sad to see them go.
I clearly have an audio gear problem. Haha
I discovered your channel through Joe and Iove it man! Keep doing what you do and will always support ya! An idea, for maybe some future video, if you can show us your process on finding these insane deals. What sites you browse, what are you looking for, what determines a good deal for you, etc. Just document it and it would be awesome to see your thought process behind it!
I’m happy to hear Joe is helping spread the word! I did a little video, providing some tips for picking up used audio gear but it was early on so I was pretty nervous. Nobody really saw those videos, since they were so early on.
I’ll be sure to turn and incorporate some tips I’ve learned over the years. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it!
Happy weekend, my friend!
Great review 👍
Thanks for the compliment! Trying to improve things with each video, so hopefully the next video is better than the last, and so on.
Thanks again, my friend!
Hi there and great channel 👍! Any idea what the rs8 version of these wiuld be worth nowadays? Thanks kindly for any response.
Cool channel for the everyman 💪
Keep up the great work! Awesome channel 👍🏻
OfferUp should sponsor you 😆
I’d totally be open to that! That would allow me to buy more home audio gear😆
Thanks for the compliment, my friend!
Love my MA br1 speakers, just wondered what kind of step up these are?
I just picked up a pair of these at the local goodwill store for $5 apiece and I can’t wait to audition them. If things work out they’ll go in as side surrounds in my home theater setup. I’m not sure if you mentioned these are made in England.
$5 each?! Wow! That’s about as good of a deal as I’ve ever heard, well done!
How do you like them so far?
Can you measure FR for these speakers, thanks,
Like your channel, I would love to have that variety in my local Craiglists and Pawn Shops. How do you sell the ones that your are no longer using?
Now days, local subscribers usually reach out to me when a video gets posted, and wants to buy the gear. At least, that’s the way the really good deals end up selling.
Otherwise, I create ads on CL, OfferUp and FB Marketplace and sell it the old fashioned way. Haha
@@blazermdx Great. I am far away. However there is a model you could consider in the future. There is a quite viewed YT channel that does a monthly blind auction of those products reviewed. Off course a sub or speakers are difficult/costly to ship, but you could charge for shipping also you can place a reserve. Anyway, it could easily be a way to get funds for more reviews. Cheers
Have you heard of Onix Rocket RS750 speakers? Here locally I can get the towers and matching center for $125.
Hello Joey! Unfortunately, I haven’t owned any AV123 speakers but I’ve always read great things about their speakers. I think the subwoofer plate amplifier fiasco ended up to the the downfall of the company.
With that said, that sounds like a smokin’ deal on those speakers. If it’s not too late and they are fully functional, go for it!
What would you be replacing, if you end up with these AV123 speakers?
@@blazermdx If I got them they would be replacing some Pioneer Andrew Jones towers.
OM5 mirage towers what you think older but still outstanding
🥇🥇🥇🥇
I just got a pair for $19.99 at a thrift store
How Do these differ from the Monitor Audio bronze br1?
I haven’t had a chance to compare them side by side, unfortunately.
The biggest difference, that stands out to me is the quality of the components and the cabinet. The Silver line is definitely a step up but if my memory serves me correctly, the sound difference was pretty minor. Again, there was a gap between me owning both so it’s a little hard to comment on the difference in sound accurately.
Do you own Monitor Audio speakers?
Thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate it!
Did you bi wire these? If not give that a try. Way better sound
I did try but-wiring these briefly but I didn’t notice a large bump in performance, but my room and listening habits are much easier to energize than most out there.
In the sound demos, in probably just going to run the speakers on one channel of amplifier, as I imagine most folks out there just setup their systems this way.
With that said, I have gotten great results with bi-wiring speakers over the years, it can make a noticeable improvement, especially at higher volumes.
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment, my friend!
Great video! Since you asked, I do have a few suggestions, but please don't take it as anything you're doing being negative 😎
First, for this video it would have been nice to describe how the speakers sound a little more. Are they warm, bright, what they do well, what could be better, etc. I feel like you've done so on previous reviews.
Second, would be awesome to see how all of these speakers are stacking up against each other. Maybe you could track scores in Excel and flash on screen towards end of videos? Probably would need to categorize by speaker type as well (e.g. bookshelf, tower, etc.). Basically, some sort of scoreboard.
I definitely like how you include a comparison to other speakers; in this case your new klipsch set. Helps give a good baseline for comparison.
All that said, I know it's hard to keep videos short too, assuming that's your goal.
That’s exactly the type of feedback I was looking for! Thank you for taking the time to type that all out.
I’ve been thinking that I should spend a little more time describing the sound and that confirms it. I’m trying to keep the videos around 10 minutes but that usually doesn’t work out. I will see where I can shave some time, so I can go into the sound characteristics a little more.
Already working on the spreadsheet. I’ve been compiling all my notes, so I have them down the road. I’m just trying to figure out how to implement the info I’m a way that doesn’t confuse people, especially the beginners.
Thank you again for the feedback, I truly appreciate it!
No sub used right ? in this demo
Nope, no sub used. The REL sub in the bottom right corner, in the demo, wasn’t on. I also left the foam port plugs in.
These speakers put out a nice amount of bass, for their size!
Monitor Silver or Aperion Verus ?
Hmm. That’s a tough one.
I really do have a soft spot for both brands but I tend to lean toward Aperion. What models are you considering and do you mainly listen to music or movies?
@@blazermdx considering Aperion Verus Grand vs Monitor Silver 200 for Movies.
@@HiRezViews Between those two models, for HT, I’d lean towards Aperion.
They both are great speakers so it kind of depends on the sound you are looking for. Can you listen to them?
i love your videos but cant stand daft punk sorry please do another song
Yeah, seems people want me to mix up the songs/artists.
You would never catch me driving around listening to Daft Punk but I definitely respect their talents. I just think this CD does the best job showing off a speakers dynamic range.
With that said, you’re not alone here. I grabbed a Journey and a Elton John CD so hopefully people like those albums more. Haha
Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
PULEASE find a different cd! Techno synthesizer is hardly music!
This CD really tests out frequency response, which is why I use it regularly. This isn’t my style of music either but I want people to hear as much as the speakers as possible.
I also picked up some Journey, Elton John and some classical so I will be mixing things up. My CD collection is a total of 4 now. Haha
Female vocals, massed violins, Bagpipes, etc.
