  • Best speakers in the price class, with ease.
Color: Black Style: MB42X Advanced Bookshelf Speakers
I've had these for a couple of weeks now and have been running them from my PC through the Sound Blaster X7 computer amplifier/sound-card/DAC/etc as my desktop speakers. This delivers about 50w to each speaker. With that set up, these things blow my mind. Sound: I honestly didn't know you could get sound this good at this price point. Things have definitely changed since the days of my youth. These have a big and expansive sound for something this small and deliver some impressive quality with both EDM, rock and metal music. There's some slight colored response here, but I think it's a good thing on this level of audio setup honestly. For all intents and purposes, it's got a reasonably flat response and if there's anything lacking it might be in the bass, which is simply a matter of physics. You're not going to get that good bass from something this size. For a 'main' listening rig, this would benefit a lot from a decent sub-woofer. Aesthetic: In a word, quite excellent. These are made from black textured plastic and have a simple yet pleasing design to them. The mesh is magnetic so there's no ugly pinholes showing if you wish to keep it off, and these will look good with pretty much any interior you put them in. Simple classic design, and the carbon fiber cone and translucent plastic tweeter dome should look good anywhere. Size wise, these are actually quite tiny for what you get, so they'll fit in pretty much anywhere in the house and I think they are just the perfect size for a desktop. You might want to get them stacked on something though, as you'll want to keep the tweeters at ear height and these aren't big enough to accomplish that all by themselves on your average desk position. Build Quality: No complaints so far, but I'm only two-three weeks in. Summary: These may very well be the perfect entry point into the world of good audio for a whole lot of people. I honestly don't think you can get better sound for this price anywhere else. In addition, should you upgrade later these will still be able to fill a role somewhere else, be it in another room or adding to your TV setup or whatever else thanks to their excellent performance and nice, neutral aesthetic that goes well with everything. Five Stars from me so far, as I can't say anything about longevity and build quality other than "seems good for all I know". ... show more

  • Researched for months, settled on the Miccas. Best investment to date.
Color: Black Style: MB42X Advanced Bookshelf Speakers
After owning the Logitech X-530 for nearly a 9 years I figured it's time for me to upgrade to better sounding speakers. I've spent many months researching on different types of speakers and realized that there aren't any good computer speakers. Before the Logitech X-530 was released, Harmon Kardon, Altec Lansing, and Creative were among the top brands to buy. Sadly most of computer speakers today are made with plastic and comes with a muddy subwoofer. Spending $30 for cheap speakers will just give you cheap sound when it comes to listening to music but might be adequate for gaming. Spending $100 seems to be the best value overall if one were to purchase the Klipsch Promedia or Logitech X-623 since their speakers are great for gaming and movies. Spending $200 for the Corsair SP2500 or Logitech z906 is way out of my league. Moving on, I started looking into bookshelf speakers from Budgetphile, Noaudiophile, and Z Reviews on Youtube until I settled on the Micca MB42x paired with the SMSL SA50 amp. Unfortunately that combination set me back $150 even though I told myself I wouldn't spend more than $100. The reason why I went over budget is because of my dissatisfaction with Klipsch Promedia. I did managed to get a good deal on it and tested it out at home but ended up returning it. Even though the bass from the subwoofer was boomy and punchy, the speakers lack midrange. When I played Battlefield 4, shooting a rifle didn't have any frontal impact. When it comes to listening to music, vocals sounded distant even though I was listening to Trance music. I tried some bass heavy music like Dubstep, Trap, and Electro House and it just seemed weird that I didn't get any of that live feeling. The Logitech X-530 sounded better with the midrange obviously because of its center speaker but the subwoofer is terrible. On the other hand, the Micca MB42x is just worlds apart from the computer speakers I've owned. The MB42x has a warm and neutral sound signature. The highs aren't sharp, the midrange is pronounced, and the lows are weak but accurate. I know that Trance music isn't a good indicator of testing the sound so I used the acoustic sounds of Emma Hewitt's Starting Fires album in both FLAC and MP3. With the MB42x, I could actually distinguish the difference between the two codecs. It was something I couldn't done with my Logitechs. FLAC was more enjoyable in a sense I could hear all the subtleties of the smooth guitar riffs and the imperfections of Emma's voice. Listening back to MP3s, it sounded artificial like the recording was done in front of a computer than a studio. Going back to Trance and mainstream commercial progressive house music, I can hear the right words coming from the vocal tracks like Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars, Darren Tate vs Jono Grant-Let The Light Shine In (Tenishia Remix), and The Thrillseekers feat. Stine Grove-Anywhere With You (Solarstone Pure Mix). Now what the MB42x lacks the most is bass. This was expected since these are only bookshelf speakers. Trying to listen to bass heavy songs like Clockwork - BBBS, Martin Garrix - Animals, Cosmic Gate - Crushed (Mark Sixma remix), and Andrew Bayer - Once Lydian sounded really terrible. It makes you want to cringe when you expect "the drop" to come. It's still enjoyable to listen to especially if the low frequency sounds doesn't go below 60hz. Also gaming isn't any good with these speakers unless there's bass. Someday when I have more cash, I will invest in a active subwoofer to remedy the missing low ends. I did have the chance to test the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR along with the Micca MB42x side to side and came to the conclusion that the Micca's sounds better overall. The Pioneer's highs are sharper and they extend better with low frequencies. The midrange though seem slightly hollow but not recessed. I think the Pioneer's do better with movies and dance music since they have a larger driver than the Micca's. I didn't get a Lepai or Topping amp only because the SMSL SA-50 is rated at 4A and supposedly the TDA7492 is better than the TA2020. I can't say for certain because I haven't use a TA2020 amp yet but 4A gives me more headroom for louder sound. ... show more

  • Pleasantly surprised
Color: Black Style: MB42X-C Advanced Center Channel Speaker
To be brutally honest, I purchased this center channel speaker only because it fit the height requirements and the under $100 budget I had. When the 25+ year old Infinity CC-1 I had in my bedroom system decided to fail, I was stuck with the options of finding another one used or to try to find something new to replace it. The CC-1 was a solid performer, but had its shortcomings, so I decided on something new. The Micca unit I received was one of the gen3 with the 18dB/octave crossover, and quite frankly, I'm rather impressed with the performance it offers for both its size and the money. Don't get me wrong, it will never be confused with the performance of something from SVS, the ELAC Debuts or anything like that, but in the small space it fits in, it does the job quite well. It does require either some automatic or manual DSP to make up for its frequency response, but after that, I was very pleased. The first thing I threw at it after setting the SPL level and tweaking the EQ a bit were several movies that I know are infamous for having dialog that's difficult to hear in many scenes - in particular, several Nolan films. The Micca did not disappoint, and was often equal to and sometimes better than the Infinity CC-1. This center channel also handles handoffs between the Infinity RS-5s that are the front L/R channels seamlessly. In the end, if you have either space or budget constraints, this speaker works pretty well, at least in a smaller room. It handles the AV receiver having the crossover set at 80Hz with no problem, although 100Hz would probably be a better option in a larger room. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because it does require some EQ work in order to make it sound its best. ... show more
