Can not beat them for the price.

these speakers look good and sound even better plus more. as the title of review. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. WITH THESE SPEAKERS

There are several manufacturers of tower speakers and so many price categories where do you start. But if you're looking for entry level speakers you shouldn't have to look any further. I am very impressed with the build quality, shipment packaging and of course the sound. I bought these to upgrade my existing monoprice 5.1 speaker system since I swapped out to a 7.1 receiver. These will now be the front speakers.

I began breaking them in a different room where I have an Andrew Jones Pioneer set. I unplugged the SP-FS52 towers and plugged these in right next to the pioneers. These sounded just as good if not better and they weren't even broke in yet. I won't get into any technical characteristics these just sounded awesome. Not like an entry level set. If you're looking in this category.......Don't hesitate on these.

Better than expected. Won't be disappointed if you buy.

Amazing value for the price, i am not an audiophile but i appreciate good sound. These have pretty good highs and support with bass really well! Definitely a must buy at the price.

Surprisingly good sound from such small drivers. Excellent build quality.

These are good speakers overall, and great for the price point. There's some things I would change, but for the price they punch way above their weight.
1. They look good - a little smaller than I thought but they fit my house well. The black finish is pretty dark, not quite as light as it looks in the pictures. This helps it work in my environment.
2. They get pretty loud (I'm running a Sony STR-DH590 in 2.1 with a powered Jamo 10" sub) and at a high amp level they sound clear. The high end tends to roll off a little early which leaves the towers sounding somewhat boxy. The two dedicated woofers don't work as hard as I thought they would, but that makes sense given they're 5.25" speakers. Physically, they can only do so much. That being said, without a sub, these will do a good job reproducing most metal/rock/alt/pop music transparently. Hip hop is pretty much off the table, and movies won't have the impact that's required.

I am disappointed that the cabinets did not have the glass tops as described in some of the reviews, but they definitely perform as anticipated as surround sound speakers and when paired with powered subwoofers also by monolith.

The towers are well built and in mint condition when I received mines. Sounds good. Nothing that will wow you but sounds better than what I was expecting.

Im pleased in evey way. The packaging was beautiful in the firm flexible foam (which I will save and reuse somehow). The speakers themselves are exquisitely built, down to and including the feet. The sound is full and bright and, I dunno, spacious. So far I have tested with Frank Sinatra and the Beatles. Test passed with flying colors. Best speaker purchase I have made since my Bose 901s. They deliver a helluva lot more sound than the little space they occupy. And they look really good. A+
