Monoprice has a number of open box subwoofers at very attractive prices

Some of them are

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38201
10" ported V1 $429.00 > $429.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38202
12" ported V1 $679.00 > $679.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38203
15" ported V1 $999.00 > $999.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=44577
16" ported $1495.00
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42579
Dual 15" ported $1799
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=40951
15" sealed $999
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=39693
12" sealed $680.00

I suspect that some of these that are discontinued such as the V1 10,12 and 15 are new units and just left over stock
30 day returns and 5 year warranty

You have to pay shipping costs on returns for non defective merchandise

They will not exchange an open box product with a " new" one should you have performance or shipping damage issues at delivery. You will have to return and rebuy a "new" one. They will exchange if they have another open box unit in stock

For those that have concerns about amp failures. They will ship out an new amp for warranty purposes. That has been confirmed many times on AVS forum and a couple of times for buyers here on slick deals as well
Their sales manager regularly participates in conversations on AVS forum

I have three Monolith subs in my main theater listening area and I have been consistently impressed with their performance over the 2-3 years I have owned them

If you can accommodate it..the 15" V1, at this price is amazing.
The 12" and up are very heavy and large
Do yourself a favor and measure your space and be prepared to have help if you need to accommodate stairs
Fed Ex dropped one of mine off at the garage door and didnt even try to bring it up my front steps
Good Deal?

I hope nobody is trying to act like Monolithguy on AVS (hobie) even talks about these products anymore. He has barely been involved in the community in the last year and a half and when he has been dropping in it has only been to update HTP-1 information. Can run that search yourself if you want.

Also you aren't getting amps shipped to you if you have a failure, they are backordered into June. Better to be fully educated before taking the plunge.

Quote from DavidL1996 :
Most likely the recent inventory of HTP-1s sold out.

I've had flawless performance from 3 Monolith subs and a 7 channel amp, HTP-1 next and hopefully Dirac ART soon.
I agree...I think they only had a few and they went quickly
I did see some availability last week

I own 3 monolith subs as well as the 7X channel amp. They all perform flawlessly
The HTP-1 was on my short list but I could not wait and bought the Arcam prepro

really..have you not the videos on youtube that they put out specifically on the HTP-1?

You say people are not receiving amps?
I beg to differ with that
There are a few here that just obtained the M8125X that was in a thread here

I am always amazed at all the hearsay involved with these Monoprice/Monolith products

If it's DOA they're paying return shipping. Otherwise they're covered under their 5 year warranty so if they can't fix it or send parts they'll have to send a new sub.
Ah ok, I thought i read if they dont hgave another open box, you were on the hook for the difference in cost to a new one. thanks for the clarification.

I got the dual 15 from the last sale. If I buy the 16" would that be a balance or should I go for the dual 15. Also, if I go for a lower power sub, would that and the dual 15 that I have pair well or ? Should the subs be always from the same brand and equivalent to the current one when trying to add on?

I am new to HT. Please pardon if my question is naive.
The usual advice is too keep them the same as they are easier to balance out that way as they give similar response curve. Otherwise one may be maxed out in some points while the other is barely working hard. Assuming you are using them in the same system.

I currently run two SB1000 pros with my Denon X3700h.

It has four sub outputs, so presumably Audyssey can balance them appropriately.

Would a 15" ported mesh well, or should I try to stick with SVS?

Thanks!

Edit: According to Denon, if you can run a different output to each subwoofer Audyssey/Dirac should take care of tuning them fine, eliminating traditional downsides like phase alignment issues and timbre mismatch.

Lot of quality control issues with subwoofers - some of them are dead on arrival and some needs plate amp replacement on brand new subwoofers.

HTP-1 had similar issues and it was pulled off from the website.

Anyone interested read AVS forum for more info or join one of the Facebook Monoprice group.

I hope they come back quickly with quality control because they are the best when it comes to price to performance.

Not anymore when it comes a 12 inch.
RSL has the market cornered with its 12S @ $799.
Nothing comes close.

How did the open box v1 Monolith 10 look like. Any damages or anything?
I got one last sale with 20% off, like new, no scratches, no finger prints, solid subwoofer.

Are there cea-2010 numbers published for the RSL that show that? Just curious as I haven't seen numbers to compare

Probably gonna get a lot of crap, but how does the 10 or 12" Monoprice compare to the Klipsch R-120SW? Wondering how much better It can be and worth the upgrade, my HT basement is not that large….

I have 2 x Rythmik FV18 in 15' x 18' room. Get dual subs which ever you get and the largest you can afford.
