Monitor Audio Service - Most excellent


We often complain but rarely praise.  I have some now vintage Monitor Audio Radius tower speakers.  Recently while reorganizing the living room/HT one of them fell face forward, utterly destroying one of the 4" mid-woofers.

I was sure that e-bay and finding a donor speaker would be my only option but the MA - UK team responded to my e-mails within a business day and pointed me to the Canadian distributor who very quickly gave me a very reasonable price ($87 including shipping) and recommended the correct replacement part. 

I have to say I’m really impressed, I was pretty sure I was either going to throw the speakers away or pick through e-bay listings to find them.  

FYI, if I wasn't such a DIYer and had to purchase speakers, Monitor Audio has always been on my short list.

Not that it matters, but I like to set the record straight when I make a mistake.  The actual cost was $82, not $87. 

Good to hear. While I've never needed service of parts, I've had several MAs over the years. All decent.

That is great news and is refreshing compared with all the hi-fi  horror stories we read about all too often!

From my original inquiry via email to part arrival was 7 calendar days.

Outstanding 

Good to know. I'm on my second pair and I still have my first pair since 1992. They are still working perfectly and sound great.
