View Full Description
The Monitor Audio Studio 89 Bookshelf Speakers are a reimagining of the brand’s classic Studio Series, fusing the culture-shifting spirit of the ‘80s with modern acoustic precision. This makes them perfect for premium stereo setups in small to medium-sized living spaces or refined front channels in a compact home cinema system. Whether placed on dedicated stands or integrated into a media console, this is a loudspeaker with a strong identity.
Inside the high-gloss cabinet, the Studio 89 features a carefully engineered driver array focused on precision and balance. Twin 4.25-inch bass-mid drivers handle the low and mid frequencies with tight control, while the latest-generation MPD III tweeter delivers crisp, extended high frequencies. From vinyl to high-res digital, Studio 89 gives you a deeply engaging listening experience—all from a speaker designed to stand out.
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 Chord Company RumourX Speaker Cable terminated with Chord Company Ohmic Banana Plugs is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their home audio or cinema experience with greater clarity and dynamic performance. Its compact six-millimetre diameter makes it easy to install, while the twisted pair configuration reduces noise interference for cleaner sound reproduction.
