Monitor Audio Studio SG pair bookshelf speakers

A speaker meant to be both heard and seen I get to research a great number of the speakers that occupy today's audio landscape. And while many sound terrific, the truth is that most rectangular box speakers look about the same. Personally, if I'm plunking down a sizeable stack of cash on new speakers, I want them to both sound and look sublime. Thankfully, Monitor Audio is hip to this tall task - the stand-mountable Studios combine a fresh, modern look with the kind of poetically beautiful sound that the British hi-fi legend is renowned for. The Studio is available in three beautiful satin finishes to match your room's decor. Trickle-down technology from Monitor's flagship One reason the Studios sound so good is that they incorporate several design characteristics from Monitor's flagship Platinum II Series. For instance, their dual 4" C-CAM? drivers are modified versions of those used in the company's legendary Platinum PL500 II, sharing the same choice of materials and magnetic design principles. The C-CAM woofers also use the same bolt-through driver attachment mechanism as their Platinum Series big brothers. This helps each speaker's pair of woofers deliver textured midrange, along with immediate, musical bass. State-of-the-art tweeter The Studios use a special 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" high-frequency transducer with MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) technology that has eight times the surface area of a typical 1" dome tweeter. This "folded-ribbon" tweeter works like a super-fast accordion by rapidly squeezing the pleats to produce exceptionally natural, non-fatiguing highs. A solid cabinet with a luxurious finish Monitor Audio speakers have long been known for their sturdy, vault-like cabinet construction. The Studios' rock-solid enclosures resist vibration that can color sound and reduce accuracy. These elegant speakers are available in three satin finishes to match your room's decor. The addition of a metal "name badge" at each base adds to their alluring grille-less
