Monoprice Audition Series Speakers - How Low Can You Go?

[gene]

In the last few years, internet superstore Monoprice has been taking the audio world by storm with their Monolith lineup of speakers. Now Monoprice has added a budget friendly Audition series to their resume. The Audition line will feature two sizes of tower speakers, the T4 ($200 each) and T5 ($250 each) as well as two bookshelf speakers, the B4 ($100 each) and B5 ($125 each). Rounding out the new Audition speakers is a pair of center channels, the C4 ($130) and C5 ($160).

With tech borrowed from their high value Encore series speakers, it's hard to imagine Monoprice could come up with an even higher value series with Audition. Just how low can they go in price and still give you respectable performance? This is something we ask ourselves every time Monoprice introduces a new budget-friendly product and they keep hitting the mark often redefining our expectations.

Monoprice is just killing it. After owning the Encore T6 towers for awhile these are the best for the money even some that are higher priced

They just destroy the polk and klipsch and other lower priced offerings and those companies midrange stuff as well the T6's blow them out of the water

I'm still waiting for the 'T8' Towers. If they ever come out with those.

The JBL Studio 698 look awfully tempting.

Glad to see some nice low cost alternatives but like to see some measurements.....

If they measure anything like the larger encore T6 they will measure well very well for the price Monoprice has a pretty good track record on measurements as well

They're coming out with a T8? Man those would be awesome

 

[Out-Of-Phase]

No T8 coming. Not that I know of anyway. But you're right, that would be great.

Thanks for the kind words @Danzilla31

A T8? Hmmmmm...something to think about!

Hell what about some T10s, 12s, etc?

Hey thanks for dropping in to chat with us and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I gotta send you a PM I got a question or 2 on some products you have that I'm looking to buy!

I think we should go straight for T30s... and get Judge Reinhold involved in the marketing.

(C'mon, too easy! )

@MonolithGuy : It's good to see you on the forum! I hope all is well with you.
