Monitor Series 7 design highlights:
• Self-aligning magnetic grille design. Honeycomb interior corner architecture ensures a more spacious and transparent sound.
• Complete baffle redesign: MDF across the board for further reportedly increased solidity and cabinet resonance reduction; Magnetic baffle design makes it easier to remove should servicing be necessary.

CC-390 - the new centers are known as Center 1 and Center 2 and both include decreased footprints to better fit today's a/v furniture sizes.
• Monitor Surround 1 has replaced the ADP's of the previous Monitor Series and Surround 2 featuring revised design and technology in an attempt to handle the way sound is being mastered and mixed in today' s recording studios.
