The Studio Electric Monitor was fantastic….it was outstandingly linear and I was stunned at the dynamic range from a sealed box design. Plus they look great and only cost $2,550.00. I want. Audio Review - CES 2011 coverage
The Benchmark gear was accompanied by a pair of Studio Electric Monitors, whose grilles give them a rather retro art-deco look that was delightful. So was the sound. The speakers look more conventional if you remove the grilles, but you won't want to. The steel mesh is from Germany, and it's the same one used on Neumann microphones. It seems to have no audible effect.The look, and especially the sound, suggests an expensive speaker. Think $2550 a pair is a lot? You won't once you hear them. UHF-Ultimate High Fidelity Magizine - CES 2011 coverage "The Studio Electric Monitor represents a break from design themes established in the firm’s higher-end models (some of which look almost like 21st-century avant garde sculptures). Instead, the Monitor offers what might be termed “Arts and Crafts” styling—kind of like what might happen if you handed William Morris or Gustav Stickley a plain black two-way monitor and asked them to dress it up a bit. But the sound is what really matters, and where the Studio Electrics succeed in particular is in combining reasonable neutrality with an uncanny ability to convey the dynamic energy and “life” inherent in good recordings. The Absolute Sound
"The pairing of Benchmark Audio and Studio Electric Loudspeakers had a new face, the Studio Electric Monitor with handsome retro custom grill. The sound was impressive and musical, inviting extended listening." Stereophile - RMAF 2010 Coverage |

"The sound was unforced, natural and rather beautiful. Male vocals (Sinatra) was stellar - everything was coherent, the right amount of detail but not in a hit-you-over-the-head sort of way. The designer's goal was to make a speaker that lacked irritation and that you could just play your tunes and enjoy - he succeeded. They have a seductive sound." Dagogo - CES 2010 Coverage
"Hi Dave, I am sitting in my music room, listening to music via our modified Transporter and your T3's and I just wanted to be sure that I took the time to congratulate you on building a FANTASTIC speaker. I put them in, initially to compare them. The clue here is that I haven't unplugged them yet and it has been several weeks. Your speaker is one of only two that I feel have compared favorably to my reference system. But, my reference speakers are over twice the price, easily twice the size, and many times the weight. I have to say that I am VERY fond of the T3's." Dan Wright , ModWright Instruments Inc. "My favorite room at the Audiofest was the Modwright room. Dan Wright was using the same Studio Electric speakers that Chris raved about but all with his own electronics...This was one of the rooms where people tended to sit for long periods." Rick Schmidt-HometheaterHiFi.com "Studio Electric brought something extraordinarily special to this years show (CES Las Vegas)… this remarkable looking and sounding system offered considerably more character and heart than most others…The music absolutely conquered the room like a command performance. I sat rapt for well over three quarters of an hour as David MacPherson (system designer) played his own recordings of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, and Brahms. My time in front of this system was one of the most enjoyable listening experiences I have had at any show in recent memory." Greg Weaver - Positive Feedback "Now...seeing them in person really made me smile. These are really impressive sounding speakers. Well done STUDIO ELECTRIC!" Steven R. Rochlin- Enjoy the Music |
