Monitor Audio Silver 8, opinions please ?


Hi all, I have recently upgraded my 5.1 system to Monitor audio silver range . I have the 8 fr my main channels, I have the fx for the rear and wx12 sub. For movies I find the set up very impressive. I have just started listening to my vinyl and equally impressed through just the front two. 
Has anyone else heard them and what are there thoughts? 
Many thanks in advance .

I just upgraded to the Silver 8's, which I love the sound of.  I was using the Silver 2's as surrounds.  Because of a problem with one of them, I decided to use the other as a temporary center speaker.  Was I surprised how easily and naturally it blended in.  The sound is just amazingly good.  I had come into the Gold reference LCR, which was the intended center speaker, but it arrived after I had made the change.  I have another MA system in another listening room, so I placed the gold in that room as a center, and used the silver 1's as the main speakers in that room.  I am not sure if I will change this set up when the other 2 is repaired.  My main system is as follows; Silver 8's as mains, Silver 2 as center, W12 as sub and Dali Zensor 3's as surrounds.  Receiver is Denon AVR X3000.  I just got the Onkyo TX RZ900 to replace the Denon, but won't switch until the 2 is repaired. I am sure I won't get the silver centre now.  Any other  thoughts out there?
