Incredible!
Being a big fan of the MB42X speakers, I just couldn't help buying a set of these. I bought two and am using them as left and right mains on a stereo set-up. I received them earlier in the week and have been letting them play several hours a day to break them in.And they have not disappointed me! They are amazingly smooth and well-balanced for such an inexpensive speaker. They sound much like the MB42X's, but with better base. Not lower base, but the twin woofers seem to make the base response more pronounced. For 4" woofers, the bass response is quite impressive. I am running them with a sub, but even with the off the bass is very full and rich. I am testing these in a room where I normally run speakers with 6.5" woofers, and these almost match the bass response of the larger speakers.The tweeters appear to be the same ones as the MB42X's use, which is a good thing. They are bright for silk dome tweeters, but never too bright. Just the right amount of sparkle to make the highs so pleasant.Vocals are very natural on these. Though I'm using them as a stereo set; I have no doubt they will perform well as a center speaker. And the extended bass response will likely allow these to out perform many larger speakers.For home theater; using these for center, left and right with MB42X's in the rear and a sub would totally rock a small to mid sized room. These are knocking on the door of entry level audiophile grade, but for budget prices.I have 3 sets of MB42X's which have all held up nicely to frequent use; so I would expect these to last as well.Incredible speakers for the price, and very good speakers for almost any price. I recommend these with confidence,Good listening!Update-I've been playing these for a month or so now. Like their little brothers, these speakers need a lot of break-in. And I seriously mean A LOT of break in. Honestly, I've never seen speakers this slow to loosen up, which I think is why some are not rating them as high as perhaps they should. Anyone basing their opinion on how they sound right out of the box is not realizing the potential of these speakers. . The "hollow" sound that some complain about in the MB42X's pretty much goes away once they have some time on them. I'm talking about 30-40 + hours of play time here; these speakers are very slow to loosen up. But when they do...The bass these things make defies the laws of physics. Amazing!Not quite audiophile grade, but pretty close. A couple of spots on the response graph is all that is keeping them from being equal to $500 speakers. And frankly, most people won't notice the very slight deficiencies. What really matters is that they sound good, and they do!A crazy bargain at this price!Ver másVer menos
