Monitor Audio Monitor R852MD Gold

Quality British Monitors


Designed by Robin Marshall, founder of Epos, just before leaving Monitor Audio to launch the Epos brand name. The similarities are there to be seen: same tweeter, same cabinet bracing, same design of bass unit, albeit a bigger one than the ES14.


The cabinet construction, along with lovely real wood veneer is in another league - and was reflected in the price of the day with the Epos ES14’s selling for £299, while the MA852MD’s retailed at £369.
