Monitor Audio's NEW Studio 89 has received another excellent review, this one from John Darko of Darko Audio, who offered some technical insight on the speaker as well as comparisons with some rivals. While not the biggest fan of the Black Gloss finish, John loved everything else about the award-winning bookshelf speaker.
"...this is probably as close to a pretty much flawless loudspeaker, a standmount loudspeaker, as you'll find at its $2500 asking price."
"...the Monitor Audio sound polished and they also sound lively, demonstrating, I think, superb control over this song's tight, rhythmic structure."
"Make no mistake, the Monitor Audio might be a small speaker, but they are more than enough to fill my 6m x 5m room, and with enough bass weight as well.".
