It helps that the Studio 89 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. We love their sense of cohesion and the seamless way the drive units integrate. Those hours spent fine-tuning the crossover have paid off. 

These are small speakers, so it pays to have realistic expectations in terms of bass reach and punch, and given those we think most listeners will be impressed by what Monitor Audio’s engineers have managed. On Paradise Circus, the Studio 89 dig deep and true right down to their limit and are controlled enough not to over-extend themselves. Do they set class standards when it comes to outright sonic authority or bass power? No, but they do sound solid and meaty within their limits, and in most cases we think they deliver convincingly.

Focus on the mid and higher frequencies and you should find that these speakers shine. They are wonderfully articulate with voices, and render them with natural weight and warmth. There is no shortage of clarity and, no matter how complex the music gets, it is easy to keep track of low-level instrumental strands.
