About the Monitor Audio Bronze 6
Powerful sound from a highly rated floorstander
Powerful sound from a highly rated floorstander
Monitor Audio's Bronze 6 floor-standing speaker is a fantastic choice for a home theater or stereo music system. It features high-quality crossovers, which deliver smooth frequency transition between its woofers, midrange driver, and tweeter. The result is dynamic, room-filling sound from a tower that doesn't hog a lot of space on your floor. Two sets of input terminals let you bi-amp or bi-wire the speaker for maximum performance.
The Bronze 6's 2.5-way design features a dedicated midrange driver for detail and accuracy.
"Trickle-down" speaker technology
The Bronze 6 borrows design features from Monitor's higher-end Silver and Gold speaker lines, so it delivers great performance for the money. It features a 1" gold dome tweeter for clear, detailed highs and realistic reproduction of instruments and vocals.
It also uses the same bolt-through driver attachment mechanism as the Silver and Gold lines. The result is smooth midrange and punchy bass response from its dedicated 6-1/2" midrange and dual 6-1/2" C-CAM woofers.
2.5-way design for smooth, full sound
The Bronze 6 is a full-range "2.5-way" speaker — though the woofers and midrange drivers are the same size they don't cover the same frequency range. The topmost driver handles the upper midrange, and because it's physically close to the tweeter, you get a seamless blend of mid- and high-frequency sounds, for improved imaging. The other two woofers cover the lower midrange and bass frequencies.

Features
1" C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter: The newly designed 1" C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter extends the Bronze 6 floorstanding speaker's frequency response to an ultra-sonic 30kHz, allowing the full reproduction of harmonic frequencies vital to the accurate reproduction of, say, the decay of a piano string or the crash of a hi-hat. Within the New Bronze tweeter, an innovative venting system allows air to flow outside the tweeter's magnet assembly into a rear loading chamber, preventing air from being compressed at the back of the dome for lower distortion, reduced mechanical resonance, and improved damping. Structural improvements in dome geometry and drive mechanism have boosted accuracy and extension at the top end of the tweeter's range as well, generating the extraordinary high frequency quality that helps to define the sound of Bronze 6 floorstanding loudspeaker.
Tree 6.5" 'Dished' C-CAM Woofers: The Monitor Audio Bronze 6 employs a 6.5" C-CAM midrange/midbass woofer and two 6.5" C-CAM bass woofers. The newly designed 5.5" 'dished' C-CAM cone employs the entire cone surface to radiate more sound. Unbroken by the centre pole-piece aperture of conventional driver designs, the cone is inherently more rigid and efficient while being less prone to break-up under high drive conditions, resulting in exceptional detail resolution and life-like tonality. Ingeniously, the driver's voice coil is thermally coupled to the back of the cone, which draws heat away from the coil for better power handling and optimal operation at all volume levels.
C-CAM Technology: C-CAM driver technology is used throughout the Bronze series 6 floorstanding loudspeaker, providing coherent tonal balance and sonic signature across the entering audio frequency spectrum. Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium is a material originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components. Its properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. In manufacture, aluminum/magnesium alloy undergoes a three-stage stress-relieving process to remove surface deformation and molecular weakness. Once formed, the alloy driver is subjected to a high temperature anodic coating process in which a layer of pure ceramic alumina is depleted onto its surfaces to a depth of 50 microns, producing a completely rigid sandwich of alloy and heat-dissipating ceramic material. Conventional drivers are liable to flex or twist in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion. C-CAM drivers have a much higher resistance to bending stress and therefore exhibit much greater fidelity over their entire operating range.
Single Through-Bolt Mount: The tweeter, midrange/midbass woofer, and two bass woofers are individually mounted on a through-bolt which fixes at the back of the cabinet and tensions the driver at the front. Cleverly this triple-action feature braces the cabinet structure for lower box coloration while removing the need for conventional front fixings, reducing unwanted driver/cabinet resonance and simultaneously boosting aesthetics
High Quality Crossover: The Monitor Audio Bronze 6 uses a high quality crossover network (LF/MF=150Hz, MF/HF=2.5kHz) with premium grade polypropylene film capacitors, air core, and laminated steel core inductors for signal integrity.
HiVe Port Technology: Its 6.5" C-CAM midrange/midbass driver and two 6.5" C-CAM bass woofers are arranged in a two-and-half way system configuration, operating in separate acoustic chambers with front- and rear-firing HiVe ports to provide differential tuning for higher efficiency and greater low frequency extension. The HiVe bass ports are shaped to have the same effect on airflow as a gun-barrel on a bullet. Rifled grooves inside the ports help to accelerate the flow and reduce turbulence, so air moves in and out of the ports more efficiently, for a faster more dynamic bass response.
MDF Enclosure w/ Magnetic Grille: The Bronze 6 employs a MDF enclosure for accurate, uncolored sound. Rigid 18mm MDF construction is used throughout the enclosure with radial and cross-bracing techniques for high rigidity and low cabinet coloration. In addition, the floorstanding speaker comes with an acoustically transparent cloth grille.
Dual Gold-Plated Binding Posts: The floorstanding loudspeaker has two sets of gold-plated binding posts connected by wire-jumpers. The gold-plated binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, & banana plugs (single only). Using the dual posts, you can bi-wire or bi-amp the speaker. Bi-wiring or bi-amping the speaker provides improved bass & treble performance. If you decide to bi-wire or bi-amp, you must remove the jumpers between the terminal posts (failure to do this could result in damage to your amplifier and loudspeakers).
- Bi-Wiring: Bi-wiring can provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers. Run separate speaker wires to the low & high frequency drivers from a single amplifier (the upper set of binding posts are for the high frequency drivers; the lower set of binding posts are for the low frequency drivers).
- Bi-Amping: Bi-amping allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high & low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic range & lower distortion. We recommend that your separate amplifiers have identical gain to preserve the speaker's voicing balance.
Base with Rubber or Spiked Feet: The Bronze series 6 floorstanding speaker includes a plinth (base) which will need to be installed or you can choose to use the speaker without the base (when used without the plinth the stability of the cabinet will be reduced). In addition, the Bronze comes with four rubber feet and four spike-feet. The spike feet are great for carpeted floors, while the rubber feet are recommended for hardwood, tile, and laminate floors. The spike-feet are adjustable to level out the speaker with your floor. Dimensions will vary based on plinth and foot configuration.
- with Base:
- Spike-Feet: 9.3125" (w) x 40.3125" (h) x 13.875" (d)
- Rubber-Feet: 9.3125" (w) x 39.75" (h) x 13.875" (d)
- No-Feet: 9.3125" (w) 39.5625" (h) x 13.875" (d)
- without Base:
- Spike-Feet: 7.3125" (w) x 39.5625" (h) x 13.625" (d)
- Rubber-Feet: 7.3125" (w) x 39.0" (h) x 13.625" (d)
- No-Feet: 7.3125" (w) x 38.8125" (h) x 13.625" (d)
Placement: When used in a stereo system or as front speakers in a home theater application, the listening position and the floorstanding loudspeakers should form an equilateral triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6' to 10' apart. They ideally need to be between 8' to 18" away from the rear wall and 3' from the side walls.
Bronze Series: Monitor Audio's Bronze series of loudspeakers consists of two floorstanding speakers (893BZ5B/893BZ6B), two bookshelf speakers (893BZ1B/893BZ2B), a center channel speaker (803BZCB), surround speaker (893BZFXB), and powered subwoofer (893BZW10B) - all sold separately.

I've been wanting an awesome home theatre system for several years, and now that we've purchased our first home, I could finally pull the trigger. These speakers are simply awesome. Would definitely recommend to anyone who may be on the fence. Just buy them. You won't be disappointed!
