Staff, are you ignoring the question about a crossover because there isn't a crossover, or are you trying to find what frequency it is set at?

BEST ANSWER: There isn't a traditional say linkwitz-riley 4th order crossover in here, nor could there be at this price point. There is a condenser and resistor that function as the crossover in this speaker.

So in other words it's a first order high pass filter for the tweeter just like the Dayton T652 Air. This also means you could probably improve the
performance of these by adding a full second order Linkwitz-Riley crossover or splitting the input and using an active crossover. But at this
price point they would make a nice Dolby 5.1 system with the center channel and possibly a decent 10 inch sub with something like an
Onkyo receiver. Far better than most consumer equipment on the market. Thanks, Monoprice, for introducing this option.

I'm interested in these for my Living room. I just installed a pair of the 8 inch ceiling speakers above the couch, and am looking at these, along with a center speaker, at my TV. I'm wondering- why are these 6 ohms though? Isn't 8 standard these days? I already have a speaker selector box to use, which these will need to go thru and it wants me to tell it if speakers are 4 or 8 ohm. Please advise.

Are the tweeters on these true ribbon tweeters (aluminum ribbon) or planar?
A shopper
on Jun 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: They look to be I haven't taken them apart yet. I am impressed with the sound for the cost like them better than the Polk t50 I tried. For media they are hard to beat for the price. For music they do pretty good.

I heard these speakers don't have a crossover. Is this true?
A shopper
on Feb 19, 2019
BEST ANSWER: All speakers have a crossover, if not, then the bass is not filtered out of the tweeter and the highs are not filtered out of the woofer and the sound would be worsened.

"All speakers have a crossover"
That is false. There's a good chance these don't. The staff seems to be dodging this question.

Can I use these as front left and right speakers with the Monoprice 5.1 home theater system to make it a 7.1 system?

BEST ANSWER: You could, but it wouldn't be a perfect timbre match. If your receiver/processor has an auto-eq system, it would negate some of the timbre mis-match.

Great budget speakers sound bar killer
For budget speakers they are hard to beat at least for media. I like them much better than the t50 Polk I tried. They are decent enough for music but can get a bit muddy on very fast layered music great for edm/techno some jazz, rock, and classical. They will need to be eqed pretty hard though. At least on my setup out of the box way to Bass heavy need to turn highs up bass down and mids to taste. The mid highs are a bit lacking but all the rest of the sound is excellent. Ditch the sound bar and buy these.

This are great speakers don't be afraid of the size it will rock your world
I'm not good at writing reviews and I am not really qualified to write a review about speakers but I can tell you, it sounds GREAT. My first impression was, "I think I'm going to have to get a seperated subwoofer" but doing some research found an article on line with some music samples and what to expect from your speakers, and believe me it exceeds my expectation. I have it connected to a Monoprice 50W hybrid amplifier, with a cheap turntable and my younger son (12) asks me to play something every day. His words "that sound is amazing"

Go for it you'll love it!!!
I'm piecing together my theater system what a Denon receiver and speakers from this site. These tower speakers sound great for the price I think the quality is well above what you pay for. Very impressed with the bass seems like you have to be more in front to hear the highs from the ribbon tweeters as this is my first experience with ribbon tweeters sound distribution is not the best. I think it's a great quality buy!!!
