What reviewers think

Magazine reviewers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below.

How useful are hifi reviews? We consider them useful for three things: (1) Surfacing new products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've ever heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's unique attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we  discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on everything—rarely being negative for fear of souring relationships with manufacturers. Further, they seldom have more than a couple products on-hand at once, relying on their imperfect memories to compare to past products.

Compared to their other products

We think it's helpful to understand how this product fits into the brand's full lineup (below). To learn more about these products, visit the brand's page.

Manufacturer's notes

The SCM100 ASL (active) and SCM100 SL (passive) are designed to perform at their best with the finest quality hi-fi equipment. Like their smaller brother, the SCM50 ASL, the monitors’ ability to reproduce music and speech with phenomenal accuracy, transparency and dynamics lies mainly in the SM75-150S soft dome midrange driver. However, recent modifications that include an upgraded tweeter and enhanced port profile have brought about further improvements in all performance parameters. Bass performance is equally impressive, thanks to ATC’s 12″ professional level bass driver that incorporates the company’s unique Super Linear Magnet technology. Bass, mid and HF drive units in the active model have their own dedicated and individually matched MOSFET amplifiers.

  • The Hyphn is a large and heavy speaker, needing a decent-sized room and strong flooring
  • Sensitivity is rated at 86 dB, which is considered low and necessitates high-power amplification

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Sonus Faber: Hyphn has a far more forward-sounding presentation compared to the more relaxed and recessed soundstage of Sonus Faber
  • Vs JBL Everest DD67000: Hyphn's bass is not as 'huge' as some monster high-end speakers like JBL's Everest, but it is tighter and more tuneful

Takeaway: Monitor Audio's Hyphn is a state-of-the-art loudspeaker with a unique design, delivering exceptional clarity, deep bass, and a wide soundstage. If unrestrained performance and a forward-looking aesthetic are desired, the Hyphn is worth considering for an immersive listening experience.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • An all-encompassing sound keeps listeners rooted to their seats
  • A unique 360° sound wave design creates a natural balance of direct and reflected sounds
  • A truly huge, yet meticulously crafted, soundscape is created
  • Not physically evident in the aural landscape, offering a sound that seems to have no origin
  • Integration of the woofer's and melon's outputs was far smoother than previous models

Product Considerations

  • High-powered amplifiers capable of delivering ample amounts of current are required due to its insensitivity (around 80dB)
  • Placement can be tricky, needing more space away from room boundaries than some rooms can provide
  • The biggest problem has always been the audible lack of seamless integration between the bass box and the stack of omnis atop it
  • A 'chesty, compressed, almost grainy midbass coloration' can be exhibited if placement and other factors are not optimized

Takeaway: The MBL Radialstrahler 101 E MkII loudspeaker offers a distinctive and immersive listening experience thanks to its unique omnidirectional design. It can fill the room with a natural and balanced sound, creating a captivating musical soundscape for the listener.

Bowers & Wilkins
The 801 D4 Signature is an optimized version of our most advanced loudspeaker. It features meticulously evolved technology, carefully crafted design and unique finishes that culminate in the pinnacle of performance. This is Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Signature flagship loudspeaker.
Check on Amazon
Bowers & Wilkins pioneered the use of Kevlar fibers in speaker cones and developed the Matrix cabinet design, which significantly reduces cabinet resonance and sound coloration. Their Nautilus speaker, introduced in 1993, features the distinctive Nautilus tube tweeter design that minimizes sound resonance, while their dedicated Steyning Research facility has produced breakthroughs like the Continuum cone for improved audio transparency.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Each detail of the Signature has been carefully crafted and sees numerous updates over the standard 801, including crossover upgrades and a modified cabinet with a refined downward firing port
  • The bass presentation on the 801 Signature was better across the board, it was tighter, a little more pronounced and forward, and definitely more defined
  • Bass goes beyond just hitting the low notes, the woofers showcase some of the clearest, most audible detail and texture
  • Vocalists and actors have better inflection, greater scale, and detail playing at low volumes
  • When properly set up, the Signature is one of the most holographic windows to music experienced
  • Speakers need power, the Arcam was impressive and even got the 801s to play loud, but the Macintosh MC312 made the Signature sound flow-like water

Product Considerations

  • The Signature's impedance fluctuates wildly, ranging from a nominal 8 ohms and dipping lower than 3, so you need an amplifier that does more than just work
  • Placement matters: if placed too close to the wall, the bass response became too pronounced and even boomy at times
  • The Signature can come off as bright, and in extreme cases, it might be fatiguing to some
  • Poor recordings won't get a free pass, there's bound to be a track or two that's going to leave your playlist rotation

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Klipsch La Scala, both speakers excel at the recreation of space in true-to-life dynamics
  • Compared to the Wharfedale Elysian 4, the Elysian doesn't play as deep, is richer in the mid-range, and nowhere near as extended up top, so it's not the Signature's equal
  • Compared to the Wilson Audio Want Puppy, the two speakers are similar in size, driver complement, build and finish quality, price, and target market
  • Compared to the SVS Titan, the Titans sound two-dimensional and fat, compared to the Signature's far more realistic and natural-sounding bass
  • Compared to the KEF R11 Meta, the Signature's beefy presence makes for a far grander statement

Takeaway: The 801 Signature is a speaker that elevates the listening experience to another level because it is designed with incredible attention to detail. It will be an emotional and immersive experience to own these speakers.

  • The weight of over 100 kg per speaker can make placement difficult—requiring assistance for lifting and maneuvering, especially on non-smooth surfaces
  • The grilles can be a tricky fit

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs 800 D3: Faster and tighter bass register with a sweeter-sounding tweeter and improved decoupling
  • Vs 802 D4: More bass, the 802 D4 had better blend

Takeaway:

The 801 D4 is a high-performance speaker known for its powerful and nuanced sound, exceptional imaging, and refined design, and it is capable of delivering a captivating listening experience. It is worth the investment for audiophiles who want detail and high-quality sound.

Magico’s sound is incredibly revealing, though some listeners may find it unforgiving with poorly recorded material. These speakers are favored by reviewers and audiophiles who prioritize transparency and accuracy above all else.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Beautifully finished cabinet constructed from heavy metal, using four extruded aluminum panels
  • Delivers a presentation that's vivid, refined, and compelling
  • Low distortion and an absence of cabinet resonance allows the listener to hear deeper into the music
  • Images like a point source, but has three-way midrange clarity and gut-punching bass
  • Extremely transparent and uncolored, making it very responsive to changes in upstream components

Product Considerations

  • May require careful system matching to avoid revealing flaws in the upstream components due to its high resolution
  • Bass response below 30Hz may not be particularly satisfying
  • Some reviewers noted that the grilles are sonically intrusive
  • Heavyweight hifi typically requires assistance in its unboxing and installation, given the weight and the sheer size of the wooden packing crate in which it's delivered

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the Magico S3 MKII—the new S3 has been completely revised and re-engineered, using techniques and technologies developed for the M9 flagship, with a 30% quieter enclosure

Takeaway:

The Magico S3 delivers a pure and detailed sound, making music feel vibrant and dynamic, without adding its own color. If you want to really hear what your music and audio equipment can do, the S3 is a great pick.
