Monitor Audio Studio 89 Sweepstakes

Register to win a pair of Monitor Audio Studio 89 loudspeakers (MSRP $2,499) Stereophile is giving away.

Small, compact and visually unique, Monitor Audio's Studio 89 is an uncompromising loudspeaker capable of filling large rooms with pristine sound. It benefits from a host of cutting-edge Monitor Audio innovations and is born of the same Transparent Design Philosophy as the statement Hyphn.

Studio 89’s topology ensures that even in large rooms, the soundstage, imaging and detail levels are completely enveloping and remain true to the ethos of bringing ‘studio monitoring quality’ into the home. This is in no small part down to the ’point source’ MTM (Mid-Tweeter-Mid) drive unit configuration.

The MTM positions the latest MPD (Micro-Pleated Diaphragm) III high-frequency transducer between twin RDT (Rigid-Diaphragm Technology) III 4 ¼” bass-mid drivers. The twin driver cones are made up of three ultra-thin layers to ensure rigidity and strength. A C-CAM (ceramic-coated aluminum magnesium) outer skin sits over a Nomex honeycomb central core with the underside skin made up of a woven carbon fibre. The result: super lightweight and very, very strong.

A highly optimised third-order crossover ensures the perfect frequency response across each drive unit for total symmetry, which helps control sound dispersion. The resulting high-fidelity sound is of a scale and quality that belies Studio 89’s size.

These are some beautiful speakers

Charles E Flynn's picture

I am surprised at how quickly I got used to the unusual appearance of these speakers. I suspect that if I had them, the background process that runs in my head that sometimes asks "How soon can we get rid of this?" would not inquire about these speakers.

Yippee!

Those are a some spicy meatballs!

georgehifi's picture

Love to have these with my tall/narrow servo subs as stands. Another speaker with Folded/Ribbon/Planer type tweeter with "benign HF loads", great for Class-D (blue trace https://tinyurl.com/2cz6xjnu ), it's defiantly the way to go for me after living with ESL's all my life, yet without all the hassles that esl's have
Will there be a review on a pair??

Cheers George

I love speakers!!!

DougM's picture

My first foray into British speakers was the B&W 601S3. I loved the airy highs, but soon tired of the suckkout in the midrange. I replaced them with the less expensive MA Bronze 1 with glorious midrange. I then had the Silver4i, which was a big step up and one of the prettiest speakers I've ever owned. I no longer have either, but that's a story for another day.
I've been a huge MA fanboy for decades and I'd love to have these.

DougM's picture

They glossy striped ebony finish on the Gold and Platinum series is the most stunning finish I've seen on any speakers

I have and love my pair of Silver 100 7Gs. They punch way above their price point. I'm sure these are even better.

PhippsyDee's picture

I've had and have loved my REF 702 PMCs since 1999 - adding a set of 89s to the studio would be amazing!!! Winning or not, thanks for the opportunity!!!

Nice looking modern speaker.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a pair!

tim.trombley's picture

Very handsome speakers. Would love a pair

mrounds's picture

What would I replace with these? The EPI 100s in the main upstairs system (rebuilt with Human Speakers components 10 years or so ago)? The Optimus Mach 3s downstairs with the TV (which only sound good when herself is out of the house and I can crank them up a little)? The little Altecs on the computer (the leading contender, as long as these beasts don't need a lot of power that the little Class D amp can't provide). Please make me decide? You know how...

What GOD cannot do does not exist. Studio 89 is a game changer in the music industry.A special monitor and a special producer will only leave nightclubs and live performances in astonishment. It's time for the world to listen to heavenly beats. With this pair of speakers, I will not only elevate but also my customers will roll along with me. Thank you very much Stereophile for this great opportunity.EL-ROI has done it for me.YES IT IS DONE.

cognoscente's picture

Pros
+ Pristine presentation
+ Impressively seamless and robust sound
+ Excellent build and finish
+ Compact

Cons
- Need care in partnering
- These are small speakers but they work best with space to breathe

As for Monitor Audio's Studio 89, they are talented and engaging performers that excel in clarity, precision and resolution. If you are looking for high-quality speakers at this level, though, you have to listen to the KEF R3 Meta, Neat Petite Classic and the Monitor Audios before deciding.

SCORE
Sound 5
Build 5
Compatibility 4

This would be a glorious win!

otaku's picture

These would be a lovely replacement for my Sony mid-fi speakers.

Monitoraudio's picture

Made for me!

Insensible79's picture

Current owner of the bronze series and I like the monitor audio sound. Wonder if these are tall enough to be ear height without stands on a desk. If so, do I need to mitigate vibration with something between the desk and the speake?

Beegeegirl's picture

I would sing along to my favorite songs on these for sure. Sound, Style and Sleekness. Awesome.

Paul T's picture

I'm sure they sound as good as they look..fantastic...thanks :)

Lokilowkey's picture

Thanks for the opportunity to win. I feel like these would also make great nearfield listening speakers for a desk setup.

volvic's picture

Far from being my favorite hi-fi company these days, for reasons that will remain secret, I'll still take them if given to me.

flmtnbeachbum's picture

Those are certainly sharp looking!

EvanF's picture

Hey! I would love these speakers.
