"It's compact, uncomplicated, beautiful and has a joy of playing like something from another planet. Monitor Audio's thoroughly honest Studio 89 is simply excellent!"
In a recent review by Carsten Barnbeck from Fidelity Online, the Studio 89 speakers were described as a "rollercoaster of emotions." Barnbeck praised their compact yet powerful design, calling them “unearthly transparent,” with treble that is both precise and non-intrusive. He also noted that the Studio 89s feel most at home in smaller rooms, delivering a “wonderful harmony” and surprisingly deep bass.
Barnbeck appreciated Monitor Audio’s use of high-end technology, such as the AMT tweeter from the Platinum series, and the attention to detail in the speaker’s design. He described the Studio 89s as “a perfect medley of current Monitor Audio technologies” and concluded with high praise, calling them “simply excellent.”
