AV: Yamaha RX-A3010
Previous LR Speakers: Energy Connoisseur CF-70 in bi-amp

These towers bring out awesome details and full sound stage. I'm hearing things I've never heard before. Extreme value for the money!

Absolute incredible multilayered detail sound. Silky silky silky smooth sound. Music sounds so clean and accurate. Movies sound like I?m literally at the theatre. Look nicer in home than in pics, also bigger than what I was expecting.

For the quality and the performance you get from these speakers they are worth double the price. You will be 100% pleased with these, as they give off great sound stage, and balanced tone. For the price you cannot beat them especially when they are on sale.

Great speakers so far. I laughed when I found the white gloves during the unpacking. The monolith line is very good, the are no exception. They give more depth in sound than the sonys they replaced.

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!

Perfection in a speaker! Just buy it.

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.

Please get the reviewed ina audio magazine.
In purchased the THX 365T and absolutely love them.
I was very interested in these but couldn’t find any reviews.
If I had a good review to go off of at this price these seem to be an incredible valve.
I’m a big monoprice fan and the THX 365T and 265 C are amazing
