Is this price 1 or a pair?
A shopper
on Jun 21, 2021
The price is for one only. I bought on sale for a bit less. They are huge speakers! I'm somewhat disappointed in the up firing Dolby Atmos speakers, but overall I love the sound of these! Having two upfiring Atmos speakers is not the same as several ceiling mounted ones.

Is this amplifier M8250x too much for the following 7.1.4 setup using only Monoprice equipment? THX-465T - L/R Fronts, THX-365C - Center, THX-365T - L/R Surround Sides & L/R Surround Backs, 4x Alpha In-Ceiling 8in with 15 degree Angled Drivers Product # 34198 (Atmos), M-215 subs. Because the HTP-1 is out of stock until June, 2023 I might have to pick up the Arcam AV41 to throw into this Monoprice exclusive setup. I already have the speakers. I need the correct powered equipment to push them.

Not at all. I use this amp to drive Goldenear SuperCinema X sound bar for front 3 and SuperSat 3s for surround and Atmos. It is PERFECT. It's clean and powerful with great dynamic range. It VANISHES in the background. But if you want to know output you can expect, search for "Peak SPL Calculator" and input the data. It will give you a good representation of what sound pressure level you'll achieve with this amp and those speakers.

Afraid I don't have any experience with those speakers but the amp definitely puts out (mine at least) the full advertised power. It may even be a bit conservative. I have it running front wide and 6 heights (7x running the other 7 base layer). I can also say that it blends quite well with the 7x despite being a "class D"... and it's a LOT lighter LOL

How much power can these speakers handle in Watts?

Is that over 200 watts continuous, or over 200 watts peak -or- can you please be more specific if possible. Thank you so much.

- John D on Sep 30, 2019
50-250W RMS. Given the quality and number of drivers, this is a bit conservative. The Monolith amp at 300 extremely clean watts per channel into 4ohms would be a great match for these towers… I have the monolith and similar 6-driver towers from Axiom (M80 HP’s), and they are a phenomenal combo!

30' wouldn't begin to challenge volume or quality. I have my 465s on a mid-level Marantz in a 23' room. The quality has never been compromised and volume is a non issue. 30' room won't push their max levels at all. You'll love these speakers. I do! Feel the sound.

New User U

BEST ANSWER: Yes. I have a pair of 465's in a room about 3300ft^3. I have another room about your size and they'd be under-utilized in there.
Keep in mind their THX certificationis for rooms in excess of 3000ft^3. Your is about half that. I'm sure the experience would be awesome, but I'd save coin and go with the 365's.

i am running 460's for my main speakers, would the 465 make a good center if it was sideways? the 365c is out of stock. as far as i can tell the crossovers are slightly different. wondering if i should wait for the 365c. thanks.
New User U

I just recently did research on this as well. The takeaway is that it would be a great center -- standing up. If you put it on the side the dispersion from the driver array won't be ideal and you're setting your self up for comb filtering effects.

Semi cheeky question - I plan to use the THX-365C THX with the new Atmos Tower Speakers when they launch in March. I was considering buying the center speaker now, while waiting for the towers to come out - but my worry is if there is a pending revision of the speakers likely to drop that would mean I should wait to get the center at the same time as the towers for the best tonal compatibility?

What's the RMS for this model?
A shopper
on Dec 15, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Power handling is not listed, however, I run these on an amp that puts out 350 watts per channel. These speakers get uncomfortably loud without distortion or breaking up. Keep in mind these are rated for large rooms and unless the speakers are really sensitive, it’ll take a decent amount of power to fill the room. My room is over 3400 ft^3 and opens up to a hallway and stairway. Listening/watching movies at reference is not uncommon for me and these speakers handle it perfectly

Is the XLR pass-through stereo? I'd like to create a 2.1 setup without a receiver or a pre/pro by connecting this subwoofer's XLR input to my LG CX 77 television's 3.5mm headphone output via an XLR-to-TRS cable into TRS-to-3.5mm adapter, then connect this subwoofer's XLR output to an M2100X to power a pair of THX-465T speakers. (I can upgrade that system later by adding a pre/pro, more amps, and more speakers.) Would this work?

For Atmos, would the 265B plus the 460T be adequate, or would I really need the 465T for adequate Atmos? Alternatively I could leave the height connections vacant on these and continue using my existing four in ceilings (Episode Signature 1700)... just not sure how well they will match.

Thx-465T towers and 465C center channel
Freaking love the speakers! I don't think there's a better value to be found at this time. I honestly couldn't be more pleased with the performance.
The problem is I don't know if all the bs I've gone through with screwed up orders damaged products and missing discounts was worth the hassle. It's done now and the front stage of my sound system is awesome but I won't put myself through this again.

BY FAR BEST OF BEST IN ITS PRICE RANGE AND EVEN MUCH HIGHER!
Performance simply astonishing! At the price of this speaker, I was astounded by its outstanding performance in ALL respects. Bass powerful punchy yet clean and smooth. Midrange also doesn?t miss a beat anywhere in between lows and highs. Regarding highs, I?ve learned the vast majority of speakers in this price range and much higher often miss the nuances are many instruments altogether such as the soft touch of a symbol, the unique variations in timber presence in the different horn instruments, organ music, harmonicas?the list goes on and on. NOT this audiophile grade speaker?it never misses accurate replication of the true sound of any instrument including human voices. Are there better speakers? Yes! Are there any better speakers in anywhere close to this price range without literally thousands more per speaker, NO WAY! It?s an A++++ and then some! Strongly recommend consideration among serious buyers even looking to pay well over a thousand more for an audiophile grade speaker!

Awesome towers with great tonality
I am writing this review because as I was looking to upgrade my LR, these were really appealing but I could find only a single meaningful reivew. I understand everyone has different ears, but I find seeing commonalities among other reviewers extremely helpful to set expectations.
When these went on sale I pulled the trigger, knowing I could return them if not pleased at no additional expense to me (shameless plug for freeshipping.com).
Build quality/aesthetics:
These are built like a tank. They are made from HDF. Performing the scientific "knock test" reveals the cabinet density. They're heavy too (57 lbs apiece). The tempered glass base is thick and arrives detached. Once attached, there are two sets of high quality spikes to choose from (carpet and hard surface).
I personally like the look. They're tall (nearly 5 ft) and cyclindrical with a nice wood ash vinyl wrap. The wrap has a "dull shine" that reflects very little light. They do not show finger prints. The grill is made from wood; it doesn't have a cheap, flimsy feel. The magnets are strong, keeping the grill securely in place.
Sound:
One thing that immediately stuck out is bass extension. They don't hit like a sub, but if you are not a bass head and like 2 channel music, I could see some people forgoing a sub. They go down to 29 hz and the bass is smooth and pleasing. It's not boomy or bloated.
The mid range is very good. Because the mids and tweeter sit between the four woofers, the sound integrates well. The fact that the speakers are tall, everything hits at ear level when sitting.
The soft dome tweeter is very smooth. I listen to movies near reference. Even at near reference levels, there is not a hint of harshness. The sound is silky smooth.
Performance:
These sound really good for music and home theater... especially in home theater (duh!). There is a certain sparkle and dynamism these speakers bring to the experience. The theater is set up in a 13x30 room, with LCR on the narrow 13ft side. Since LCR is on the narrow side, it's hard to speak to off axis performance. What I can say is the sound surrounds the listeners. It's different than having sound come directly at you; with these the sound will envelope you.
The only gripe I have is that I'm not getting everything I can from them. I have 7 channels conntected to a 7 channel avr. I'm looking for a 3 channel amp specifically for LCR.
Conclusion:
I love these speaker so much that I hug them every time I go downstairs. Needless to say, I will not be sending them back.
I hope this is helpful for anyone considering these speakers.
When these went on sale I pulled the trigger, knowing I could return them if not pleased at no additional expense to me (shameless plug for freeshipping.com).
