This €1,275 asking price is a strong bargain, landing well below the 25th percentile of €1,639 and significantly under the median of €2,002 for recent used EUR listings. With new pairs retailing between €2,348 and €2,500, you are saving over €1,000 compared to current market value, making this an exceptional entry point for a model that rarely appears on the secondary market.
The Studio 89 is a limited run (only 30 units) retro-styled standmount praised for studio-monitor clarity and precision, utilizing Monitor Audio’s MPD III tweeter and dual RDT III mid/bass drivers in a D’Appolito array. Its 86dB sensitivity and 6Ω impedance demand a bit of amplifier power, but the result is engaging detail and dynamism that rivals more expensive competitors. At this price, even without stands (which cost ~€600 new), the upside is massive for a collector-grade speaker that delivers genuine high-end performance.

Monitor Audio, a British hi-fi mainstay, traces its origins to 1972 when founder Mo Iqbal established the company in a modest factory near Cambridge, England. Starting with hands-on loudspeaker assembly in a garage-like setting, it quickly professionalized, moving to Rayleigh, Essex, in 1976 for in-house manufacturing. This heritage of meticulous British engineering has endured through expansions, including a 2004 shift of production to China while retaining design leadership in Essex, alongside strategic acquisitions like Roksan in 2016 and Blok in 2019.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across diverse categories, from high-fidelity two-channel stereo models to advanced home cinema systems, architectural installations, outdoor speakers, and lifestyle solutions. Signature innovations like the patented C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, introduced in the 1980s and continually refined, define its sound. Complementing these are amplifiers, streamers, and integrated audio systems, reflecting a broad portfolio that prioritizes proprietary driver technologies and precise enclosure design over peripheral gear like turntables or headphones.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Monitor Audio commands respect for delivering audiophile-grade performance at accessible price points, blending relentless innovation with timeless British craftsmanship. Over five decades, it has solidified its status as a global juggernaut, appealing to discerning buyers seeking refined, dynamic sound without boutique exclusivity or vintage nostalgia.
