I’m running a Monolith 7x amplifier using a Denon 3800 in preamplifier mode. I’m having no issues getting the amplifier to drive my speakers to reference levels. It sounds fantastic with no distortion I can hear. I think you would be in a similar situation with your setup.

...;) The thing is that for almost everybody including most of us, that level of extreme engineering isn't really necessary. As I recall the Monolith 13 and 16s, they are pretty exemplary examples of well designed Subs, with the 12 and 15" models falling just a hair short. The use case for...

One has the world "ATI" on it, the other has the world "MONOPRICE" on it. :D Likely different internal parts and the 7YR ATI warranty vs 5YR for Monoprice.

The reason to use a Y splitter is because it raises the input sensitivity of the subwoofers amp. This can be helpful when an AVR doesn’t have adequate output. It doesn’t increase maximum output capability, but can help balance the gain structure better. After calibration, most people aim for...

The surrounds are going in wall not in ceiling, correct?

ON the AVSForum thread so far people is tellig me to stay away from them..that is pretty odd in a thread dedicated to Monolith subs. Due to the amp basically and the pain getting it replaced. I have read many threads and usually you get a lot of fanboys defending the brand for each particular...

Thanks for your tip regarding the honing of my comprehensive skills, but i do believe the actual name of the company is "Monolith by Monoprice". BTW, I've heard "Huntington learning Center" does a pretty proficient job, even for those who don't realize they themselves seem to be in need.

But given that I need them for surrounds, and they will be right behind my seating area, how loud do they need to get? I dont want them to drown out the main LCR speakers. The room is about 15x14, with one side open to a bar area. So not very big in my book.

Shady has has reviewed every sub in the Monoprice Monolith line. And JTR and SVS and Audioholics has done reviews of RBH subs. All detailed with full measurements. Also Shady wasn't trashing Monoprice he's just stating facts that the Amber line is nowhere near the quality of the Monolith line...

Saw this on AVS #150 · Oct 3, 2023 Yup. About 300 in shipping and you're all done. To be fair, even RSL is charging for sub returns now....just like everywhere, the days of limitless free shipping to and fro are coming to an end.

That recommendation from @TLS Guy is spot on. That Monolith lineup is a great speaker line and some of the best high end bang for your buck you can ever expect to get. Also the Monolith line measures very neutral and should blend in well with your PSB's

Wow, you should learn to read. The post you quoted never said anything about MONOLITH, you know, the higher performance brand that was NOT what the op was talking about. Monoprice IS cheap gear. Monolith is not.

Why the low power monolith amps, tho? Seems only avr level amps.

...and features but costs north of $3K. I also bet we learn that the 30's amps are as good as/better than the 8015 and much better than the Monolith, which are no slight. They give great value for what they are. For me, great value and functionality would be the Monolith HTP-1 with some of their...

Ha Have there been an unusual number of failures?

I no longer consider the Klipsch in the race but in the 12" range I would think the 12s is not easy to beat. Why would you take the Monolith 12 over it?

Takes time to build a reputation. Monoprice have several subwoofers with real good measured performance at nice prices on this very site over the years. I've no idea how good or bad Tonewinner is in making subwoofers but I suspect they need some time to prove themselves.

Looks like an incoming wave of the lowest of the low Chinese junk. When you see Alibaba heavily involved watch out. I would advice Shady not to waste his time.

...2 on my back porch and zone 3 on my garage. Everything works as expected when running through the onkyo unit. What I want to do is add a monolith 7x200 to the setup and power LCR and both zones to pull the work off of the receiver but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set it up...

I think the difference in sale prices is that RSL is probably just making margins at Msrp. Monoprice has a completely different structure since they have many more products than RSL.
