Our recent review of the Monitor Audio Studio 89 standmounters revealed a pair of hi-fi speakers that perform admirably for their price, and certainly merit a place on any shortlist at around the £2000 / $2500 / AU$3999 mark.
At roughly the same time, give or take a week or two, our team also had Audiolab’s new music streamer to put through its paces. Which we also rather like. It didn’t then take too long to wonder how we could get these two five-star winners together in a system that might do even a touch more than merely doing them justice.
