I am amazed of the sound reproduction in this little speakers...impressive.Crisp clear sound. I totally recommend it.My receiver is a Denon,rated 150 watts.

I got them on sale, I can?t give them anything else but 5 stars for the price. They?re enjoyable speakers. Are there better? Sure, but nowhere near this price. Also, they were packed excellently. Fed ex tried their best to destroy them, but they survived in perfect shape.

Fwiw, I?ve been recording for 20 years and have had high end speakers.

So sure, these are not state of the art loudspeakers, BUT they sound pretty incredible for $150 a pair. They are a steal at the $100 a pair sale price. I personally am a big fan of ribbon tweeters and have been using Magnepans in my main A/V system for 20+ years. I also have two pair of the MP-65RT bookshelf speakers with an MP-C65RT center channel that use the same tweeters for a bedroom surround system. It is unfortunate that Monoprice no longer produces the MP-65RT bookshelf speakers because they were also amazingly good for only $50 a pair. Although there is another company based in Ohio (hint) that makes some good ribbon loaded bookshelf speakers at a comparable price, I think the MP-65RT had slightly better bass and were a little more open. I suspect that Monoprice found that they couldn't continue to produce the bookshelf speakers with those components at a price that low. Even though the cosmetics of the cabinets and connectors are pretty basic (but VERY acceptable), the attention has been placed on the drivers and the overall sound quality, which is what I buy speakers for anyway. It is almost sad to see what people pay for many soundbars (okay, many buy them for space considerations) and speakers from a company known for doing a lot of advertising that really don't perform anywhere as well as these Monoprice jems. My suggestion: if you haven't tried any of these (with a decent sub, of course, and Monoprice makes a number of those too) DO IT SOON while they still are being made!!! Loved the MP-65RT bookshelfs, but the MP-T65RT towers ARE better. I would also consider trying some of their higher end speakers; they seem to be getting some excellent reviews.....

I have them hooked up to a Sony STR-DH820 7.1 receiver. The receiver is hooked up to my computer. I mainly play music files. The sound is really good with just the one set of speakers. I recommend getting these if you want a good set of stereo speakers.

reasonably priced speakers delivered expediently

I bought the to augment the Monoprice 5.1 basic home theater in a box. This system is being used as a secondary entertainment system in a hobby room outside of my main home. It is not my primary home theater. These mini towers sound amazing for their price range. They are not going to compete with $300 and up speakers, but at their price point they do punch above their weight class. I whole heartedly recommend these as budget speakers on their own, or to augment other budget speakers in a home theater. The mids and highs a full, but the lows a a bit lacking. That's to be expected given the specs of these speakers. They are very clear sounding and can be driven to very high volume without distortion.

Downsides include the size. They are very small and are not really tower speakers. There are skinny floor speakers from the 60's or 70's that took away the width and added it to depth. You will have to raise them up, two to three feet to get the tweeter at ear level.

High frequency response isn't great on these speakers, but I use these as rear surround speakers and they work great for that. Probably wouldn't recommend them as my front speakers.

Absolutely great.speakers for the price and for the quality ... I have two pairs and I love them ....highly rec .., ...

These are a very good performing speaker for the price point. I had been looking for a second set of inexpensive bookshelf speakers with a weak tweeter/strong mids and some stands for my system. I found these on sale and they serve both purposes for one price. I got these on sale for under $100pair, very much a bargain. These speaker will not wow you, stand alone they are quite good though. highs are a bit weak but also not harsh, the bass is actually fairly impressive. Mids are bit hollow, I may try adding some more poly to cabinets and see if this helps. They also don't have crossovers, just caps and blockers. I am adding these to a 4 channel amplifier system with two 4" two way ported bookshelf speakers that are a bit bright on the highs and weak on lower mids, and a 10" powered sub. They help fill in some of the voids in this setup. I mostly wanted them for upper bass, lower mid performance, and to improve soundstage as the bookshelf speakers are very directional. These have a very broad soundstage, so they are quite forgiving in regards to placement and angle, just what I needed. Stand alone these are ok, if you are building a budget system and want good bass and imaging these are a good choice. They would be better suited as front L & R on a surround sound system or in addition to other speakers as I am using them. These are certainly not high end speakers, but that's not what you would expect in this price range. If you want somethin larger than bookshelf but still relatively small footprint these are a very good choice for the price. Just remember they are only rated 30 watts RMS, so only good for small to mid size rooms and reasonable listening volumes. If you need party speakers, keep looking.

The MP-T65RT's have found a rightful place in my wall of sound (that's them at the top joined together to form a beam), and rightly so. They produce clean, clear sound and are a great value. They joined company with Polk LS-90's, Monitor 10's, Wharfdale's, 2 powered subs, one being the Monoprice Select 8", the other an 8" Martin Logan, satellites by Martin Logan & Mitsubishi. All made possible by a Bluetooth Yami R-S202 and a Monoprice SSVC-6.1 impedance matching speaker splitter (that's the key ingredient). I can play any or all and do A / B comparisons. But mostly I play them all together and thank the gods of stereo.
