Many style-orientated speaker systems adopt a “high-
tech” look with interesting shapes and plastic casings. 
With  the  Radius  range  however,  Monitor  Audio  has 
aimed  for  altogether  more  exceptional  results,  both 
visually and sonically. 

In  developing  Radius,  we’ve  remained  true  to  the 
principles  that  make  Monitor  Audio  speakers  so 
sought after across the globe. There are no gimmicks, 
no shortcuts, no fads - just a commitment to quality in 
all its respects. 

Combining  advanced  driver  technology  from  our 
acclaimed  reference  models  with  superlative  build 
quality  and  finish,  Radius  elevates  traditional  sat/sub 
performance  to  a  level  which  will  astound  lovers  of 
music, movies and design in equal measure.
