The British loudspeaker designing and manufacturing company Monitor Audio may have been around for over 5 decades, yet in the last few years we’ve watched (and heard) them re-invent themselves to become one of the most progressive and focused specialists in the world of home audio.
Nothing illustrates this better than the new Hyphn: A radically different proposition that looks like no other loudspeaker, with each unit being built up out of 3 constituent assemblies – a pair of curved upright enclosures for the bass drivers and an array of tiny midrange drivers centred on a pleated ribbon tweeter.
From my own perspective, Hyphn is the logical end point of a journey which started with the ‘Studio’ which remains my favourite Monitor Audio model; it’s much smaller and more affordable but was always a speaker designed by the MA design team for their own listening. The same team have delivered Hyphn as a cost-no-object project.
But there’s a lot more to Monitor Audio than just these two models. Their range is extensive and comprehensive and here in New Zealand we’re able to provide you with almost all of their options from the always value packed Bronze series right up to the latest generation Gold and Platinum models.
