Timing matters here because this is an older Monitor Audio standmount, so the real question is condition and generation rather than waiting for a “new” version. At €400, it lands just above the €367 median of recent EUR sales, so this reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a bargain; it is not overpriced, but it is also not a steal.
Monitor Audio’s smaller 2-way monitors are usually well-liked for clean detail, lively treble, and easy placement, which makes them a solid buy if the drivers and cabinets are in good shape. The upside is that a clean, well-kept pair in an attractive finish can be a long-lived, satisfying listen; at this price, ask for close-up photos of the surrounds, tweeters, and veneer, since condition is what decides whether €400 feels justified.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
