I have installed Hi-Def equipment for over 15 years, and this speaker sounds as good as it costs 3 or 4 times more.
You won't be disappointed with this set.

I previously use a pair of JBL 305 MKII's as my desktop monitor. I loved them but my wife stole them to use on a TV with an Xbox(maybe i also hated how huge they were on my desk). These are remarkably similar to the 305 MKII's perhaps these are tuned for more bass sub 200hz where the JBLs are more flat & the JBL's have marginally better imaging. HOWEVER, I got these at half the price of the JBL's AND they came with cables and stands. These are not just a phenomenal micro-monitor from Monoprice, they are a phenomenal micro-monitor full stop.

I always cringe when I purchase audio gear without being able to listen before purchase. I was however, pleasantly surprised.

The audio produced is very warm with crisp highs. I sit roughly 12-18" from them and they are fed from a Schiit Modi 3 DAC. I was worried there would be a lack of lows but they are actually very balanced.

Given the price point, I would highly recommend.

Great speakers for my Computer

I picked these up for my work office to replace a cheap pair of computer speakers. I connected them through a Monolith Liquid Spark DAC that I used to use in my home office. The speakers have what appears to be a nice satin finish and they look pretty slick. I like the size too. They arent too big where it can create placement issues on a desk, but they are also big enough to eek out decent performance. I think they actually sound bigger than they look. Obviously there isnt going to be any bass with the small drivers, but they do have a very full neutral sound.

The cable to connect the two speakers is a nice length also. I was concerned about that. I'm able to use the placement I wanted and also have enough slack to tuck the cable away so you dont see it. It's some kind of custom 4 pin cable, so I wasnt sure if it would be possible to find a longer one or build a longer one if needed.. Thats pretty much it. Its a nice option that sounds good and doesnt break the bank. I cant say how they compare to other options at this price point bc I wasnt looking to do a bunch of research. However, I can usually bank on Monolith products being good value for the money so I went for it and am not disappointed.

Beautiful sounding speakers, plenty of good bass, great feature set. My only criticism is that they don't give balanced crisp and clear sound at low volume. As computer speakers, I wish the low volume output was better. However, once you give it a little volume they really shine! Would recommend!

I'm overall happy with the sound of these and you can't ask for much more for the price. However there seemed to be one oversight with these, and that's the inability to toggle bluetooth off. I realize in some circumstances you want your bluetooth device to automatically connect, but this isn't always the case. The speakers then emit a loud tone, and the only way to disable this (to my knowledge, please tell me if I'm wrong) is to turn off your bluetooth device sending signal to the speakers, or forget the bluetooth speakers from said device.

Having produced numerous classical recordings including the famed Three Tenors Concert recording in Rome, I've been in some of the world's top recording studios
The natural, clear audio from the Monolith MM-3 speakers reminds me of the classic Auratone 5C reference monitors that have been a coveted speaker in studios for nearly 50 years.
It's because of the nuance you can hear... like standing there in a studio and hearing an artist take a breath before singing. Or, the separation of a perfectly produced recording that brings the experience alive. You can hear all that in the MM-3s.

I wish there were away to rate these 4.5. For sparkers that live by my computer I haven't heard anything that compares.

Visually the MM-3 looks good and sounds pretty good. My key complaint is that there is no "off" position on the volume control. Even when the volume is turned all the way down, some sound still comes out. I know there is a power switch on the back, but I bought this one (over the Audioengine A2+) because my recordings vary in loudness and I need to adjust the volume "on the fly". Other than that, a little more bass would be nice but it's not a deal breaker.
