I have these and they are quite good. Imaging is surprisingly good. Bass is fine, though not what you'd expect given the appearance of the speakers, but keep in mind the woofers on the side are passive radiators. Remote is a nice add, but that they didn't include track forward/back is annoying. Also the eq is on the remote only and since not dials you don't know what the setting is. Wish they had put eq knobs on the back of the speaker and given bt shuttle control on the remote. Oh well. Build quality is pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the open design aesthetic. Overall I like them, and they get better if you can space them a bit further away from you. On my desktop they are good, but in my living room sound much better 6 feet away from me, good deal at current price.

I can say Ive been thoroughly impressed with the monolith line. Both as sound quality and value. I don't have these but I'm sure they're quality. For the dough, your getting a killer deal. It's nice also that it's not tied to a particular company's ecosystem as well. Plus a 5 year warranty (on monolith items only) is unheard of

I used to put a certain amount of value on the brand name and Heritage as well but just as somebody explain to me, people don't worry about the brand when their immersed in the music or the movie. not once has someone asked me what brand my bookshelves are, first reaction it is usually damn, those sound better than my entertainment setup. followed by where am I putting my sub at? (there isn't one) I have the MM5R for reference. Paid 300 for. I would be in for a set of these if I didn't literally not have anywhere to put ot. I have a sound setup in every room lol. It's just a bit more than the price of a single Sonos one

I have these, and my roommate has the kef lsx 2, we both agree the monoliths sound better overall at lower/moderate volumes, and even certain songs at louder volumes my roommate and I prefer the monoliths, they're amazing for the price.

I had these but returned them after a week only because of the BT staying connected even when it was in sleep mode. This was incredibly annoying as all other speakers I have (Edifiers, 1850s, Klipsch R15PM, and Samsung soundbar) with bluetooth, they all disconnect from my phone when I put them to sleep (or what's basically supposed to be off), but these do not. They stay connected unless switch the main power in switch off or I manually disconnect from my phone.

Not a big deal to some, but it's annoying when you missing a ton of messages/notifications because you had these connected to the MTM-100s to listen to music but then turned them to sleep but your phone stays connected and sends audio to these (which don't make any sound since they're in sleep).

I contact Monoprice support and they offered no solutions. I really would have liked to keep them otherwise, the sound was super impressive to me.

Looks like the MM-5Rs with the ribbon tweeter and bi-amped setup are upgrades from this. Not sure how the single larger woofer on the MM-5Rs are in comparison to 2 smaller woofers on these, but I would probably think the larger woofer is better.

Can anyone comment on latency of these? I've got some Desktop Monitors (PreSonus Eris E5, Bluetooth 5.0) and can't unsee(unhear?) the delay when I'm editing.

The MM-5R is the better speaker on paper, hands down: AMT ribbon tweeter, larger driver, larger cabinet, bi-amped, lower bass extension. That said, anyone who's spent any time playing around with home audio knows that better specs on paper don't always translate to better sound in real life. So I'd be interested the hear from anyone who's had experience with both models. But based on specs alone, the MM-5R is a better choice.

Unfortunately for me, the MM-5Rs are a bit too big for my desk, whereas I think the narrower MTM-100s would just fit. (They also offer more placement flexibility without the rear port.)

Can anyone who's used these comment on the hiss/buzz from the amp when there's no sound coming through? Especially with the USB input? It was mentioned in this review [youtube.com], and I'm wondering how bad it will be a couple feet away on my desk.

how about hooked up solely to a turntable? I don't need phono non-amped.
