Key Features
The Monitor Audio Bronze 500 5.1 Speaker Package comes with all the necessary speaker components of a medium-sized home cinema system. Included in the 5.1 speaker set is a pair of Bronze 500 Floorstanding Speakers (the top of the Bronze 6G Series) accompanied by a pair of Bronze 50 Bookshelf Speakers, a Bronze C150 Centre Speaker, and W10 Subwoofer.
With a pair of floorstanding speakers in your home cinema setup, you can focus a greater amount of power at the front of your system and use the Bronze 50 Bookshelf Speakers as a supportive, yet still powerful, pair of rears. Now in its sixth generation, the Bronze Series is positioned as a great starting point for Monitor Audio passive loudspeakers. If you are looking to create your first home cinema or a more subtle surround sound system and are drawn to the contemporary aesthetic of the Bronze Series, this bundle will not disappoint.

The two eight-inch drivers have been revised for the Bronze 6G range. Using lightweight C-CAM materials in line with a conical-shaped diaphragm, DCM technology and a larger diameter voice coil, the Bronze 500 performs more accurately and dynamically no matter what you’re listening to. Either with or without a subwoofer, the grooved HiVe II rear ports enhance bass thanks to faster, smoother cabinet airflow and minimised distortion.
Whether as the centrepiece of your home theatre or stereo system, you have to love that signature Monitor Audio sound. The C-CAM gold dome tweeter has been redesigned for improved time alignment and a lower crossover frequency, enabling a smoother transition between drive units. This united voice combines with the new UD waveguide, which not only allows greater positioning flexibility but gives your speaker system a unique look.
The Bronze 500 uses refined waveguide geometry throughout its design and shares much of this technology with the rest of the Bronze series. Developing a tonally matched surround sound speaker system is key to complete immersion. Thanks to its sturdy outrigger feet and height-adjustable spike or rubber pads, the Bronze 500 creates a level platform to perch the Bronze AMS Atoms speakers on top of it, complete with matching finishes.
The Monitor Audio Bronze Series, from which this bundle’s 5.1 speakers come, is a collection of passive loudspeakers that embody the brand's attention to quality and detail. Each speaker features a contrasting baffle, Gold Dome Tweeter, all alongside the proprietary C-CAM drivers. These tweeters feature the honeycomb grille, which has become a uniquely recognisable feature of Monitor Audio speakers. Additionally, the series uses the Uniform Dispersion (UD) Waveguide to ensure an even spread of sound into the room, improved time alignment, and low crossover frequency. The Bronze Series is ideal for both entry-level HiFi and home cinema systems whilst still exhibiting ample performance. This bundle includes a pair of Bronze 500 Floorstanding Speakers and a supporting pair of Bronze 50 Bookshelf Speakers. It also comes with the C150 Centre Speaker and a W10 Active Subwoofer. If you love this sound, the Monitor Audio Bronze Series also features alternate bookshelf and floorstanding speaker sizes, as well as a wall-mounted surround FX speaker and dedicated AMS Dolby Atmos speakers, leaving you plenty of room for future expansion and experimentation.
The Monitor Audio Bronze 50 Bookshelf Speakers are the smallest in the Bronze Series. They utilise the UD Waveguide and C-CAM drivers to deliver impressive audio reproduction for their size, with the Damped Concentric Mode (DCM) technology allowing for a deeper and fuller sound without losing precision. The speakers are well suited to small living spaces and can be wall-mounted using the FIX-M Speaker Mount (sold separately).
The Monitor Audio Bronze C150 centre speaker features the same UD Waveguide and C-CAM drivers as the rest of the Bronze Series, delivering lifelike sound with improved time alignment and low crossover frequency. The acoustically transparent hexagonal dispersion pattern grille, high-quality gold-plated bi-wire terminals, and pure flow silver-plated oxygen-free copper internal cabling all contribute to the speaker's exceptional build quality.
The Monitor Audio Bronze W10 Subwoofer truly brings the bass. It features a 10-inch C-CAM driver and a powerful 200W Class-D amplifier, delivering deep and detailed lower frequencies for a satisfying listening experience. Like the rest of the Bronze Series, the W10 subwoofer utilises the UD Waveguide and has a high build quality with a contrasting baffle. With a sealed cabinet, the sound is enhanced by the ABR system for extra punch whilst keeping bass production under control.
