With a 5th generation Class G amplifier design, the A25 provides cleaner, more precise sound while maintaining Arcam's smooth, richly detailed sonic profile, enhancing clarity, power, scale, and precision.

The combination of the Monitor Audio Studio 89 speakers and the Arcam A25 amplifier are a great match delivering outstanding sound performance with a compact, elegant design. The Studio 89 speakers, with their advanced MTM Driver Array and RDT III technology, provide a dynamic, spacious, and immersive sound, all while maintaining a small and sleek profile. Paired with the custom-designed stand, the Studio 89 ensures a wonderful listening experience with articulate bass and wide sound dispersion, all while blending seamlessly into any environment.

Compact Design with Unique Character

The Monitor Audio Studio 89 speaker is a small, compact, and visually distinct model that exemplifies Monitor Audio’s dedication to uncompromising acoustic performance. Despite its modest size, it incorporates advanced audio technologies, remaining true to Monitor Audio's Transparent Design Philosophy. While Studio 89 is unmistakably part of the Monitor Audio family, it stands out as a unique offering, akin to the flagship Hyphn model. Designed to make a statement both in performance and aesthetics, Studio 89 redefines what a compact speaker can achieve.

Advanced MTM Driver Array

At the heart of Studio 89’s performance is the MTM (Mid-Tweeter-Mid) Driver Array, which provides the benefits of vertical symmetry and increased dynamic capability. The larger surface area of the bass-mid drivers and enhanced voice coils improve in-room interaction with both the floor and ceiling, delivering a more immersive and expansive sound. Acting as a point source, this design creates wide sound dispersion, resulting in a spacious and enveloping audio experience, ensuring the listener is fully immersed in the music.

High-Tech RDT III and MPD III

The Studio 89’s bass-mid driver cones are built using RDT III technology, a three-layer construction for maximum rigidity and strength. A C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) outer layer is combined with a Nomex honeycomb core and carbon fibre underlay, producing lightweight yet extremely strong drivers. 

This cutting-edge construction ensures precise sound reproduction with minimal distortion. Additionally, the MPD III (Micro-Pleated Diaphragm) high-frequency transducer offers ultra-fast, smooth, and detailed high frequencies, providing a natural and lifelike soundstage.

Transparent Design and Superior Build Quality

Studio 89's Transparent Design Philosophy strikes a balance between aesthetic beauty and technological performance. The slim, compact design optimises acoustic performance, allowing the speaker to produce a much larger soundstage than expected for its size. Internally, the cabinet is carefully braced to enhance structural integrity, further improving sound quality. The bespoke crossover design, developed through extensive testing, ensures the highest signal transfer with minimal distortion, enabling Studio 89 to deliver articulate, powerful, and controlled bass performance.

Bespoke Stand for Optimal Performance

The Monitor Audio Studio 89 can be paired with a custom-designed stand, crafted specifically to enhance the speaker's performance. The stand provides excellent stability, helping the speakers deliver optimal sonic clarity, depth, and rhythm. Whether placed in smaller spaces or larger rooms, the combination of Studio 89 and its bespoke stand ensures that listeners enjoy the full potential of the speaker’s dynamic range and detailed audio delivery, blending functionality with an elegant design that complements any living space.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

James F.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

Kaylay L.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
