The Monitor Audio Studio 89 Bookshelf Speakers originate from the iconic Studio Series, established in a decade when music revolutionised our engagement with artists and self-expression defined a generation. Since the 1980s, home audio has evolved significantly and the Studio 89s are a modern reinterpretation of this legacy. Redesigned for the digital age, they benefit greatly from over a quarter-century of industry-leading innovation.
At the core of their performance is a 'point-source' mid-tweeter-mid driver array, consisting of a pair of 4.25-inch mid-bass drivers flanking the pleated high-frequency transducer. These drivers are specially crafted with advanced C-CAM layers and a powerful motor system, including an 85mm diameter magnet structure that's larger than the cone itself, providing high-level control and pristine pistonic performance. In between the mid-bass drivers is the MPD III transducer, which delivers wider dispersion and a lifelike high-frequency presentation.
With the drivers contained in a rigid, HiVe II slot-ported cabinet construction, the Studio 89s enhance sound quality by reducing potential turbulence and air noise. The meticulously configured crossover ensures untarnished frequency transmission, meaning you'll hear your music the way it was intended with negligible distortion. Despite their compact size, the Studio 89 speakers deliver a large soundstage and excellent imaging, making them perfect for both small and large spaces.
The Marantz Model 30 is an integrated amplifier that has been professionally tuned by experts at Marantz who are dedicated to delivering highly expressive, high-fidelity music. Premium components, additional shielding, and efficient circuit paths have all been utilised to promote signal integrity throughout this model. Capable of delivering 100W at 8Ω with an impeccable THD rating of 0.005%, the Model 30 has the capacity to reliably present your music as the artist intended.
Building on over half a century of innovation, Marantz are passionate about audio and know exactly what is expected at this level of equipment. The Model 30 features easy control, an MM / MC phono stage with settable input impedance, dedicated headphone output, as well as pre-outs and power amplifier inputs, letting you integrate the Model 30 into an existing HiFi system however you want. Marantz has used a strong chassis with a heavy steel top to both dampen vibrations as well as promote longevity.
The AudioQuest Rocket 22 Speaker Cable elevates sound quality with its implementation of higher-purity copper as the internal conductor, resulting in a significant audio improvement. Its conductors are intricately arranged in concentric layers, spiralling in opposite directions, carefully engineered to minimize signal interference and enhance signal transfer efficiency. Advanced insulation materials are used in the Rocket 22 to reduce signal loss and ensure overall signal integrity, further contributing to its exceptional performance. The cable's substantial thickness and premium feel enhance the user experience when connecting systems, adding a touch of luxury to your audio setup.
