I've been wanting to buy from Monoprice from they're Monolith line for awhile. When I was needing speakers for a setup I decided to give these a shot. I was stunned. I have listened to a lot of speakers at many different price points. SVS Klipsch RBH Polk Definitive Golden Ear Power Sound Audio B&W JBL Focal the list is long. And for the price these speakers punched WAY above there price point. I was blown away. I'd say there strengths are amazing tonality between bass mids and highs. Huge bass and deep bass extension at this price point. And they image so well and throw a crazy wide and deep Soundstage. They can take a lot of power and play clean for the price. The mids are clear and balanced and the highs are detailed but not bright smooth just the way I like it. And the aesthetics they look much nicer in person then what's in the picture. They are a nice looking speaker. If you want great sound but are on a budget these are the towers and the speaker lineup to go for. Great job Monoprice. You have a customer for LIFE. What everyone says is true the value for the money you spend the actual performance you get from your audio products is so high. Im a very happy customer Monoprice. Keep up the great work
