Review: Leader of the pack! - Over the past few months I have been on a quest for the best budget audiophile bookshelf speaker system. So far I have tested the Fluance SX6's, Dayton Audio B652's, B652-AIR's and these MIcca MB42X's. The Micca are an incredible value and one of my top picks. DESIGN Some would call the design of MB42X's understated, boring even, but it's not terrible. They are your typical MDF speaker boxes with a flat, vinyl black coating. The 3.5 woofers step the look up a bit with carbon fiber. The tweeters are behind a vinyl dome and look nice as well. ONe of my favorite design elements is the magnetic speaker covers-which snap into place with a satisfying 'pop' sound. The MB42X's certainly won't win any design awards, but their understated design will look nice on most desks or speaker stands. One final note about their design, I really like the fact that they accept banana plugs. I'm not a huge fan of the spring-type wire jacks on most cheaper speaker (e.g. the Daytons). I was able to easily fit Aurum double-screw-type banana plugs into these speakers. This touch just makes the speakers seem a little more expensive than they actually are. SOUND This is the reason we spend hours researching the internet reading reviews such as this one. What does this speaker sound like? Is it worth dropping the asking price on it? With the MB42X's the answer is an emphatic "YES!" To date I have not heard speakers that sound this good for less than $100, let along $80! They have beautifully crisp highs and get quite low for their size. I was able to get them down to 40Hz with a little distortion, but 50Hz was absolutely spot on! I was amazed at the lows they could produce for such a small speaker with only a 3.5" woofer. I think the fact that they are ported helps a lot here. I had mine about 12" from the wall and I found that was about a close as one would want them in order to get the most out of their woofer and port. Where these types of speakers usually fail is in the mid range. Since they are basically a tweeter with a small sub they often struggle to produce accurate mid-range frequency. Although not perfect the Micca's are one of the better mid-range producing speakers I've heard for this price. Vocals are clear and smooth while tenner and baritone instruments really shine with accurate reproduction. As I type this I am listening to "Born To Run" by The Boss and Bruce's voice sounds like I imagine it would if I was in the studio. The tenner sax is clear and fills my 12x14' bedroom. Beyond this, the MB42X's produce and amazing soundstage. When I played "Royals" by Postmodern Jukebox Scott Bradlee's voice sounds like it is coming from center stage. The band sounds as if it is behind him with the piano on back right and the drum kit on back right. I can close my eyes and just imagine I am at a Postmodern Jukebox concert! Pretty impressive for a speaker of this size and price. The MB42X's aren't perfect thought. They don't get as loud as speakers with a larger woofer and box. Some may feel that they don't push the decibels as much as they would like. I am quite happy with their volume. They fill my 12x14' room with plenty of wall-shaking sound. CONCUSSION If you have $80 to spend on bookshelf speakers the Micca MB42X's should be on the top of your list. Don't be fooled by their size, they sound a bigger than they actually are. Out of all the bookshelf speakers I've testes so far the Fluance SX6's are my favorite, but these are VERY close second. If you don't need extreme volume save a few bucks and pick up the MB42X's.
Review: Great pair of speakers for a small room. - I got these shipped in to Singapore from the States. I took out the Thiel speakers in my living room and plugged these in. Source was a Mac mini connected to Amperex ECC88 output Non-oversampling DAC, then connected to a dual mono Hypex amp via the anti-cables with wbt plugs to these cheap speakers. The treble was good, but, almost no bass. After running in these speakers for a day, the music began to to open up. Female vocals sound excellent, male vocals were a bit recessed. Bass response was better now after run-in, but nothing compared to the Thiel. Non-fatigue music due to the soft dome and still able to reproduce the airy top end from the amperex tubes. They are unable to fill my living room. But, they are perfect for the study room. I hooked them up to a Win 7 pc with a SMSL 25W dac/t-amp and Canare speaker wires termninated with cheap good quality banana plugs. The t-amp and Micca speakers sound excellent for their price. If you pair the speakers with a subwoofer with a cross over at 60 to 65 Hz, the complete system will make a nice, reasonably priced entry-level audiophile system for a small room. The Thiel speakers are better, but they cost at least 25 times more... ++ Update 21th Dec 2013 ++ It's Saturday morning, I decided to move the Micca 42X back to the living room for more testing. The amp was still the basic SMSL t-amp/DAC and speaker cables were the Canare 4-core. This time, I set them on top of the Thiel speakers - using the Thiel speakers as a kind of solid stands for the tiny Miccas. Fired up the Mac Mini and tested the speakers with/without the grills, & with/without the Audiravana software player. The musical image had a more solid image with the Thiel speakers acting as stands. Bass response seems less boomy. I prefer them 2 feet away from the walls. And they sound better without the grills - like vocals seems to sound better without the grills - especially airy female vocals...grill material affecting freq response from the tweeter perhaps? And finally, with and without the audiravana software. No contest on this one. The software sounds better - more details and less digital sounding. These speakers work very well for acoustic music with female vocals. Not so much for complex music. For complex music, there was smearing in the overall music image. For folks trying to build a low-cost budget system - put the Micca on solid speaker stands, remove the grills, connect them with a good 14 gauge speaker wires, if you have a Mac get the Audiravana player or Foobar if you are on a Win 7PC. Micca, see if you can build a transmission line floor stander with these drivers and sell them for U$250. The bass response from a transmission line design will negate the use of a separate sub woofer. And then put in a waveguide for the tweeters if that is possible, you can up the price to US$270. They will likely be giant killers if you can do this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just to verify, this product comes as a PAIR, correct? As in, if I make one purchase, I'll receive two speakers? Just want to make sure.**
A: I gotta say something here. This page is linked to a center channel speaker (with 3 SPEAKERS AND A CROSSOVER). The bookshelf speakers at the left are NOT the right ones to be linked to this ad. As for the "single speaker" nonsense, even a base unit 5.1 system uses a center channel speaker for accurate reproduction of dialog. Placed as close as you can to the front center spot in front of your tv can yield clear and precise sound for TV and movies. 

This is the description of the Micca described on this page.
Micca MB42X-C Center Channel Speaker
Note: MB42X-C speakers are not self-powered and require an amplifier or receiver to play music
Enjoy amazing quality movie soundtrack and music in your home with the compact and budget friendly Micca MB42X-C center channel speaker. Handsomely styled with classic contours and updated design cues, the MB42X-C is easy to place and blends into any room or decor. Its enhanced tonal balance and clarity makes it perfect for use in a home theater, anchoring important dialogue and action to the screen for a cinema-like experience.

**Q: Is there a noticeable difference between the 42 and 42X ?**
A: I originally bought the mb42s and ordered/installed the $30 crossover kit from Micca.  While I could not directly compare the two, I did have the originals "unaltered" long enough to notice an improvement in sound, especially at louder levels.  Also I felt the mb42s lacked a little high end.  After installing the upgrade, the highs were much better.  There is a website that gives an equalizer adjustment that really makes them shine.  basically, you knock down the 1K frequency by 4/5 db, and boost the 6K about the same a tad less.  Definitely worth the $20 difference!

**Q: When will these become available again? Or are they discontinued?**
A: The message changed from "we don't know when or if these will be available" to "sign up when these become available", so I am taking that as a good sign.It appears that these have been a sales success, so I would think that they will be back. I do hope they drop the price back down though. They recently raised the price to $99 a pair. They are worth that, but they are no longer a great deal at that price.

**Q: Anyone have experience using these as front speakers in a surround sound setup? Would they be loud enough with a Yamaha receiver for music and movies?**
A: I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small speakers with big sound
*by A***T on March 2, 2014*

This "no-name" (maybe I should say little-known) company has impressed me with the MB42X speaker system. I am powering them with the Topping TP22 mini amp, rated at 30 watts per channel. It seems to be a good combination of clean power that can get the speakers surprisingly loud for their size. They also stay quite clear at "loud" volumes- of course I can get them to distort if I turn everything up beyond reasonable levels in my sound card settings. I am using the speakers in a 2.1 desktop system, primarily for music, some movies and Netflix, as well as a small amount of gaming. The complete setup consists of a HP desktop with the ASUS Xonar DX sound card installed, Mediabridge 3.5mm to RCA cable connecting the sound card to the TP22 amp, cheapo speaker wire (will be replaced soon) to the MB42X, and finally the Polk PSW10 powered subwoofer- which has now become the weakest link of my system, as well as the crappy speaker wire. The little Miccas will almost completely drown out the PSW10 when I play them loud, even with bass heavy music. Now keep in mind the small 4" woofers will not go down to sub-bass frequencies, but they play what they can hit with authority and clarity. I am listening to them now and should mention even though I have not played them a full 20 hours or whatever to fully "loosen" the drivers, I am hearing sounds in my music I was not hearing before with a big name branded "studio monitor" called the AV40. I suspect the amp has something to do with that, as the drivers of the AV40 seem of decent quality, but they must use cheaper electronics to keep prices down. The MB42X/TP22 combo is far and away better than the AV40, in my opinion, and with sale prices can be had for not much more than the AV40 and is still cheaper than the next level of powered monitors or bookshelf speakers. The MB42X seem to have a fuller sound across their range, sound just fine and detailed at lower volumes and really start to shine when you give them some power. I like the magnetic grills- makes it easy to remove them and watch the little woofers work (they really like to move when turned up) and the speaker looks very clean with and without the grill as there are no holes on the face of the speaker, but really I don't think one should worry too much about how a speaker looks for obvious reasons. I was trying to keep this short, but if I am taking the time to write a review, I feel it's worth offering all of my feedback to help people make their decision. The build quality seems good, but they are quite a bit lighter than I expected when setting them up and that made me skeptical of their performance ability...until I turned them up. Again, not of much concern but worth mentioning. the 42X is lighter than the satellite AV40 speaker- the one with no amp inside. I think the cabinets are not as thick material. People have talked about box resonance, standing waves, this, that and the other technical terms the hard core "audiophiles" like to throw around. I would not label myself as such, but do appreciate a high quality sound system and this should be more than satisfactory for anyone looking for good sound quality at a reasonable price. Micca got this speaker right and the price is why they get 5 stars from me. I would probably give the speaker itself 4 stars as a 5 star speaker will have even more range. Again, you are looking at $200 or more for just the speakers. This setup was less than $200 for everything except speaker wire since I had some laying around. They need a more powerful sub. I have my eye on the Dayton Sub-1000, which effectively doubles the power of the PSW10, and should be good for a mix of music and movies. The Sub-1200 looks nice as well, but I think the 10" should be a good match for my setup and I don't need super loud room shaking bass, just enough to fill out the bottom end and hit hard in movies or bass heavy music. That comes out to almost $300 even for a very nice sounding desktop or bedroom system- both in my case. Some have said the speaker could even be used as a studio monitor, which I do not doubt. Finally, everything I have mentioned here was purchased through Amazon and the service has always been great. Prices are always competitive and shipping is usually very fast, even the free shipping. This order (speakers, amp and cable) was an exception due to a delay with Amazon and my bank processing the payment- these things happen. One phone call to Amazon got that cleared up and they sent my package over night, which was not requested by me at any time. Mostly, I was just calling to make sure everything was in stock, etc. because the order had not shipped for a couple days after placing it, which doesn't happen often in my experience here. They explained everything to me, then said it would be delivered the next day- still free shipping. Thanks again Amazon for the service and offering so much helpful information through the website itself and allowing us to post our feedback. 5 star service rating for the Amazon team!
