Monitor Audio RX2 reviews

The larger Monitor Audio RX2 bookshelf speakers are designed as an audiophile compact 2-way speaker, having the efficiency and bandwidth of a much larger speaker, while being easier to position around the home. It offers extended high frequencies to resolve hidden detail, coupled with immense dynamic headroom and bass depth, so that all the delicacy and drama of your favourite music and film sound is revealed
The Monitor Audio RX2 bookshelf speakers HiVe II reflex port has undergone further development for the Platinum Series and utilises a smoother more shallow rifled design which, helps to accelerate air flow and reduce turbulence. HiVe II technology has the ability to move air in and out much quicker than a conventional port, the result is fast powerful bass coupled with superior transient response
The Monitor Audio RX2 bookshelf speakers dimpled surface of C-CAM drivers with the RST cone profile provides the conical shape of driver cones with another degree of resistance to mechanical bending forces. The dimples significantly increase cone rigidity and allow us to use thinner and therefore lighter C-CAM cones. The Monitor Audio RX2 bookshelf speakers dimpled RST pattern also displaces any standing waves that can propagate across the cone surface. C-CAM drivers with the RST cone profile provide speed and accuracy, while virtually eliminating distortion caused by cone-flex during operation.
Advanced software simulation has allowed Monitor Audio to optimise our C-CAM tweeter design, bringing higher sensitivity and a wider band width to reveal the finest high frequency detail. The Monitor Audio RX2 bookshelf speakers C-CAM tweeter can extend up to 45 kHz (dependant on the range) and having also developed a sophisticated new chamber for the driver, it provides a more graduated damping for a smoother more accurate response.
