My first thought was, \u201cwow, these are huge,\u201d but the more sound, the better. Plus, I love the\u00a0open design exposing the woofers and tweeters.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll quickly realize the quality we\u2019re working with when you pull these out of the box. They\u2019re solid, sturdy, heavy, and feel like cold metal boxes ready for tunes.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, there isn\u2019t much to the packaging. You\u2019ll get both Monolith MTM-100 speakers, a quick start guide, a power cable, speaker wire, RCA cables, a fancy remote (batteries included), and some rubber feet to go on the bottom of each tower. And yes, you\u2019ll absolutely want to install the feet because these speakers bump.

I actually prefer the clean, stylish look of these speakers. The MTM-100 has a square design with rounded edges and plenty of weight.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I thought these were made from metal, as they\u2019re cold to the touch, not to mention fingerprint magnets. However, Monoprice tells me they\u2019re MDF (medium-density fibreboard) with a black satin vinyl veneer. MDF is like a dense, durable, acoustic-friendly particle board for those unaware.<\/p>\n<p>As for input and output options, we have a healthy selection for those with various setups. The dial pad on the front of the main speaker handles all the controls when you\u2019re not using the included remote. Click the dial wheel to switch between the four input options: Bluetooth, USB-C, Optical, or RCA. And, of course, it controls the volume.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find a 3.5mm headphone jack on the front and one mono analog subwoofer output on the rear. Then, everything else sits around the back. That\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the input ports, hook up the speakers, connect the power cable, and get everything set up. For the price, an included sub would be nice, but that\u2019s just a nitpick.<\/p>\n<p>Flip the rear-mounted switch to on, turn that dial to 11, and enjoy the room-shaking noise that follows.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound_Quality_Pretty_Great_and_Can_Shake_My_Office\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Sound Quality: Pretty Great, and Can Shake My Office<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-140441 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9734824e.jpg\" alt=\"Monolith speaker next to a water bottle for size.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Monolith MTM-100 next to a water bottle for scale.

That\u2019s one of the most important factors, and I\u2019m happy to report that these sound incredible. The highs are incredibly crisp and clear, almost too clear on the default setting, and the mids are smooth. It\u2019s important to remember that these aren\u2019t \u201cstudio monitors,\u201d but they\u2019ll undoubtedly get the job done for the price.<\/p>\n<p>I started listening to a few of my favorite songs and was instantly blown away by the quality and overall sound profile. I rocked out to classical 80s music, played modern hits from <em>Twenty One Pilots<\/em>, and everything in between. Again, I\u2019m impressed. These sound great and almost overpowered my small office. Movie playback is enjoyable, with full and spacious sound and great detail.<\/p>\n<p>Then I switched to some music with a little punch or bass and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, these are geared more toward the mids and highs, but the system delivers enough bass to satisfy my craving. I don\u2019t need the windows vibrating.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140444\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/d751ea05.jpg\" alt=\"Monolith speaker remote control\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Plus, you\u2019ll be able to quickly adjust the bass and treble levels with the included remote control. This gave me a little more control to easily increase the bass without downloading an app and fumbling through equalizer settings. Then again, I wouldn\u2019t mind that option, either. I didn\u2019t know if I reached a max setting or whether I had it at +2 bass or +5 on the scale.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll have to personally remember if you cranked up the bass or treble and adjust as necessary for whatever you\u2019re listening to, whether music, movies, or gaming. Thankfully, a \u201c0\u201d button in the middle of the remote acts as a clear-all and returns it to default settings.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more bass, Monoprice has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/100317643\/type\/am\/sid\/140082-xid-{xid}\/https:\/\/www.monoprice.com\/product?p_id=42843&amp;___trxnet=cj\">plenty to choose from<\/a>.
