Our take on the Monitor Audio Studio 89 Bookshelf Speakers

The Monitor Audio Studio 89 is a standmount speaker with an MTM driver array: two 4.3-inch mid/bass drivers flanking a ribbon tweeter. Its slender aluminium front baffle and luxe finish make it a design piece, while the ribbon tweeter delivers detailed, airy highs. Reviewers praise its transparency and imaging, but note it needs a quality amplifier and a subwoofer for deep bass. It suits audiophiles and design-conscious listeners with small to medium rooms.
