Floorstanding loudspeakers — Monitor Audio Hyphn

The Hyphn is an extraordinary flagship floorstanding loudspeaker from Monitor Audio, built with an exceptional bass extension and an extraordinary amplifier-power tolerance. The Hyphn represents Monitor Audio's most ambitious current statement in floorstanding loudspeaker engineering.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally deep 18Hz to 60,000Hz at -6dB. Sensitivity is 86dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with an extraordinary recommended amplifier power range of 200-1,600W. At 139.2 x 50.2 x 52.0cm and an extraordinary 106.9kg, the Hyphn represents one of the most considerable floorstanding commitments available anywhere.

Sound and use context

Expect extraordinary dynamic scale and bass authority reflecting the exceptional 18Hz reach combined with the extraordinary 200-1,600W power tolerance and considerable 106.9kg mass - this represents Monitor Audio's absolute flagship engineering ambition.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the extraordinary power range calls for the most serious amplification available, and buyers should confirm structural floor assessment given the extraordinary 106.9kg mass.

Alternatives

Monitor Audio's own Platinum 300 3G sits below this absolute flagship model at somewhat more moderate (though still considerable) scale, worth considering instead.
