Monoprice Alpha 2-Way Ceiling Speakers - 6.5 Inch (Pair) Carbon Fiber, Paintable Magnetic Grille, Louder with Less Power

I bought these speakers 6 years ago during a phase of doing all the things I ?couldn?t? when my ex was around. Back then I had them hooked up to the Monoprice tube integrated (predecessor to PID:16153) in my office and they did adequate duty as something I could play around with. Nothing offensive about the sound but also nothing to write a review about either. For many reasons I?ve since changed the setup several times, ultimately leaving them hooked up to the Monoprice 100W (PID:18513) for years. Back then I did notice a change in the timbre, but I chalked it up to the amp change. All of that has changed recently, after purchasing a new integrated amp these speakers have truly reinvigorated my listening. Yes, this could be also a review for the amp, but it also shows just how neutral and dynamic these can be. They can play LOUD and still be articulate when I?m rocking out and closing the week on a Friday afternoon and they are the perfect conferencing speaker for those long conference calls when you get tired of your monitors? speakers. Mid-range is fantastic and brings a warmth that I didn?t hear in any of my sources before. There is decent low extension by themselves, but a sub helps them play in the frequencies they like best. Pair them with the best amp your budget can sustain, and they will reward you in kind. If I could give them 10 if I would.

I used these primarily for Atmos in Ceilings and they work great. Easily fill the sound stage effortlessly and also have tweeters that can be angled. So far no complaints and the price was perfect!
