Monoprice Monolith Encore T5 speaker, listening impressions of a cheapskate

[Barrelhouse Solly]

I was playing these with the ports stuffed. This made the speakers mid and high frequencies very pronounced. Adjusting the 2 band eq of bass from 0 to 4 and leaving treble at 0. Wow. Wonderful. Maybe they should ship these as sealed.

Tried it this AM. I didn't see much difference but it wasn't a rigorous test.

Odd, by it could be that my baby amp coloring things

 

[Barrelhouse Solly]

Could be my hearing too.

Erin's Corner reviewed the T6 and pretty much said the same thing, OK for the money.

 

[jbattman1016]

For the discount price it's beyond ok.

Agreed. The price varies wildly. I bought mine a few months ago at about 70% off. They've been almost that low recently.

Yeah, at the retail price they are OK. At the heavily discounted price of $90 for the T5 and $119 for the T6 they rank among the best value speakers out there.
The C6 at the current $85 seems really solid too just would need to pair them with a sub.

Looks like the T6 has been discontinued. I can't find them anywhere. Damn

Yeah, I was thinking of getting 3 as LRC, but I don't have anything justification for this lol
