Surround and Rear Recommendations for Monoprice Monolith in wall LCR

1359 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  clipghost
I am waffling a bit between the Monoprice Alpha (3-way) in wall and the Monoprice Amber in-walls with the ribbon tweeter. I also would love everyone's take on 6" or 8" models.

I assume the 6" would handle everything just fine, but there's a negligible price difference and bigger is always better, right?!

(BTW, I have 2 pairs of Klipsch KHC-6 installed for my Atmos height channels ...

Thanks, everybody.

I have the two way versions of the 6.5" and 8" as well 6.5" in ceiling Alphas. I have been very satisfied with mine and the 8" versions have respectable bass output as well. I did have the Caliber 3 way 8" but the Alpha's sounded much better to me.

If your LCR is going to be vertically aligned, I'd get three of the Amber 8" 2-ways.

If your not and your center speaker has to be horizontal, I'd get the Amber 8" 2-ways for L/R and the Amber 3-way for the center position.

If you want to save some money on the surrounds, I'd get these:
