Im happy with this speaker. Good price too.

I used this speaker to replace a center channel Cerwin Vega speaker that made a boxy (bassy) sound even with dialogue. Obviously this was hurting my movie and show watching experience. But they did sound very good with music.Now with the Micca center channel speaker voices sound normal. While also giving a more pleasing music sound as well.I love the matte black finish of this speaker. This is excellent for when you want speakers to blend in and not stand out. They totally match my matte black PS4 slim!

Seems to well built, looks really good and performs even better. Will handle what you throw at it, crisp clear sounds, even puts out an impressive amount of lows for the size of the speakers, super happy with it.

For the money spent, a great speaker. Coming form an Audiophile background it amazes me what a relatively small outlay of cash will purchase these days. For someone starting out in home audio, you can do much worse than this speaker. I’d say get a pair to start as they don’t just have to be center channels. No they aren’t the pinnacle of refinement but for the cash, I think they would be very hard to beat. This is truly an affordable, quality product.Paired with a decent sub, a pair of these could make a nice system indeed.

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!

Working well so far after one week.One thing to note that this is a 4 ohm speaker and most AV receivers are built for 8-16 ohm speakers. If the 4 ohm speaker is high efficiency and the AV receiver is of high quality it’s not normally a problem. If not then the amplifier in the AV receiver can go into oscillation and over heat or at high volumes blow out the speaker.Luckily my AV receiver had no problems even though its an 8-16 ohm receiver. The small problem I had was this center channel speaker was louder than the others. My AV receiver is old and does not have individual volume controls for each channel. To fix this and give myself peace of mind I went down to Radio Shack and got an 8 ohm non-inductive 20 watt resistor and wired it into the positive speaker lead. This lowered the volume to match the other speaker and even though it looked like driving a 4 ohm speaker was not a problem for my AV receiver, gave me peace of mind that I was not over taxing my AV receiver.

They put out a great sound when used as a left and righr center channel!

Sounds great but I made it look better!

I’m very pleased with this speaker and this brand. My JBL speakers I had for over a decade really degraded in quality over the last year or so, and replacing my center and front speakers with this and the Micca MB42X bookshelf speakers has breathed new life into my home theater setup… it’s back to an immersive experience rather than questioning whether my hearing is starting to go.

It exceeds expectation!! When watching movie in Dolby mode, the center channel has very clear high and deep bass. The human conversation can be heard just like some one talks in front you. I am totally impressed by this speaker that only costs $69!!!!
