Monitor Audio Studio 60 Speakers. In Excellent condition with a minor finish flaw that I believe could be buffed out. From about 2002, the Studio 60s were Monitor Audio's top speaker. They have a beautiful and deep Rosewood Piano finish and were originally sold for $12,000. I have owned these for the last three or four years in which time I thoroughly enjoyed them in my main system.

The Studio 60s are not punchy thumpy speakers. They sound great with all types of music. If you love classical and jazz music you will be rewarded with flutes that soar and strings that shimmer. Mid and low frequencies are smooth and accurate. A great piano will sound like a great piano. Drums will sound fast and resonant. Complex timbre and reverberant spaces in choral recordings will be rendered beautifully. Honestly, they can be breathtaking. I have very good electronics, but each upgrade was rewarded by these very coherent and resolving speakers.

You will hear your favorite music with a level of clarity and insight that reveals more. Gaining new insight into arrangements, performances and recording technique.

The Studio 60s are efficient with a listed sensitivity of 90 db. I have used them with single ended triode amplifiers and the soundstage was deep, clear and warm. Most recently I've used a Pass Labs front end and Audio Research Solid State amplification. The sound was super clear with a subtle sweetness.

At about 42 inches tall and slender, these take little space. Again, they are not thumpy. If you live in a condo, these speakers will look fantastic and not offend the neighbors. They also sound great at low volume. They can get very loud, but no matter how hard you push them, they will not sound like a JBL or Klipsch speaker. They are much more refined and simply don't have that kind of presentation. They sound like what they are. English Monitors. Think Harbeth, Proac, etc.

If you search the Web, you will find a few of these sold in past years. They are well regarded, but also rare.   I have seen them sell for as little as $2000, but with an inferior finish, and in poor physical condition. These are gorgeous and work perfectly. There are no electrolytic capacitors to grow dull. The wide bandwidth mid driver has no capacitor at all. They sound as good as new.  

I prefer not to ship. I am centrally located in Round Rock, Texas, just north of Austin off I-35. If you would like to hear them, you can audition them in my home and purchase then. If you would like to meet me half way, I would drive up to two hours from my location and meet you after you have purchased through Audiogon. Returns at your expense within 7 days.
