Is this a good deal for Monitor Audio Bronze 500s

[snookpatrol]

I'm in the market for new speakers. I'm in the US (Florida) and was looking to spend about $1,000 per speaker.

Today I saw what seems to be a really good price for the Monitor Audio Bronze 500 6G. They are on sale for $444 each. Previously they cost more than $800 each here in the States. The salesperson told me that the 6G is being discontinued and a 7G version is coming. Thus, the reduced price.

The other speakers I was considering include the Dali Oberon 5, Wharfedale 12.3, Focal Theva No2, and Tekton M Lore. But those all cost far more than the sale priced Bronzes.

The speakers would be powered by an Outlaw Audio RR2160 receiver (110W per channel) and be placed in a room that is 15x26 feet.

I'm no audiophile, so I'd like to know what you think. Are the Monitor Audio Bronzes a good deal? Will they work ok with my receiver?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Hi @snookpatrol! Welcome to ASR.

With $1000 per speaker, you can easily afford truly well engineered loudspeakers from brands like KEF, Revel, Ascend Acoustics, AsciLab, or Elac.

IMO, there's no need to settle for 2nd rate designs from MA, Dali, Tekton and the like.
