"The Monitor Audio Studio 89s impressed us with its excellent soundstage, deep sound space and crisp bass. Voices, synths and all other instruments come across as three-dimensional and perfectly formed"
In his review, Thomas Kirsche from Like HiFi praised the Monitor Audio Studio 89 speakers as a "Golden Comeback," celebrating their connection to the iconic Studio 15s from 1989. He highlighted that while the Studio 89 captures the essence of the original, it’s "not a simple reissue" but a modern upgrade. The inclusion of the advanced MTM driver array and RDT III C-CAM drivers offers enhanced sound performance, delivering "super-light and extremely stable membranes" that provide a highly controlled and precise audio experience.
Kirsche was particularly impressed by the Studio 89’s ability to reproduce sound with extreme clarity and detail. He noted that it felt like "hearing the music as you would on the mixing desk in the studio," delivering a precise, analytical sound. Finally, Kirsche praised the 89’s "excellent soundstage, deep sound space and crisp bass."
