Daft punctuation is playing at my house
MONITOR AUDIO HYPHN
Seeing as each of Monitor Audio’s Hyphn speakers looks like a pair of back-to-back brackets, it seems odd that they’ve been named after an entirely different punctuation mark. The moniker actually comes from the fact that each one is made up of two separate cabinets, each containing a pair of 8in bass drivers, joined together by a ‘hyphen’ that includes six 2in midrange drivers and a single tweeter. That makes them the most powerful passive speakers Monitor has ever made, so when you hear them you’ll probably wonder why they weren’t named after the exclamation mark… but after a quick look at the price you’ll soon change that to a long list of pound signs.
