Monolith MTM-100 Speakers 2.1 System

The Monolith MTM-100 powered desktop speaker system delivers exceptional value and customizable sound at a combined price of $850, $500 for the speaker and $350 for the subwoofer. Despite lacking HDMI

ARC for wired TV connections and having large cabinets that may be overwhelming for small desks, this speaker and subwoofer combo from Monoprice’s Monolith series deliver an impressive performance.

Each speaker houses a 1.25-inch silk dome tweeter, two 4-inch paper cone drivers, and dual 5.25-inch passive radiators on the sides. The primary speaker includes all essential controls and connectivity options, such as USB Type-c, optical, and RCA inputs, a subwoofer output, and Bluetooth support. The secondary speaker is more minimalistic, featuring only binding posts for connection.

The MTM-100 system delivers rich, full sound with deep, tuneful bass and excellent midrange clarity. Its ability to resolve fine details and sound staging is notable, making it suitable for both music and movie soundtracks. The system’s EQ controls allow for tailoring the sound to personal preferences or room acoustics, and the subwoofer’s THX certification ensures low distortion and high-quality bass performance. The addition of the subwoofer elevates the overall audio experience with improved low-end extension and reduced distortion.

The MTM-100 speakers support aptx HD Bluetooth, allowing for a range of wireless connectivity options, including laptops, tablets, phones, and compatible gaming consoles. The primary speaker’s multifunction knob and LED indicators provide intuitive control over the system, and the remote control offers additional convenience with smart memory tone wheel for treble and bass adjustment. For those prioritizing sound quality, this system is a solid investment in desktop audio. - $850 (speakers and subwoofer), monoprice.com
