Despite their slim cabinets, the Studio 89 feel incredibly solid and they’re finished to a very high standard. We tested a pair in the high-gloss black finish in 2024 and thought they looked lovely, with Monitor Audio’s distinctive gold anodised drivers standing out from the crowd.

This excellent build also extends to the quality of components used in these two-way speakers. They feature twin 10.8cm mid/bass drivers with a third-generation MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) tweeter sandwiched in between them. Two rear-firing bass ports are also on board to reinforce the lower frequencies.

The result is a sound that we summarised in three words during our review: “detailed, agile and polished”. We also said they “have a good sense of rhythmic drive and the kind of surefooted timing that can’t help but get your feet tapping with appropriate music”.

To get the best sound from these five-star standmounts, we recommend a quality amplifier with plenty of punch. If you’ve got more to spend, the PMC Cor is a fantastic option, but you can’t go wrong with either the Cambridge Audio CXA81 or Arcam A15+.

Regardless, with the Studio 89 now being available for a hefty £580 cheaper than our £2000 testing price, this deal represents excellent value on a great piece of hi-fi kit. So, if you’re looking to beat the January blues with a new set of speakers, why not pick them up for £1419 at Richer Sounds.
