- Do the Monolith B5 speakers need a subwoofer?
- For movies, yes. They reach down to 61Hz, so a subwoofer fills in the deep bass and LFE channel. For music in a small room, many owners run them alone.
- What amplifier works with 4-ohm, 84.3dB speakers?
- Look for an amp rated for 4-ohm loads with at least 50 to 100 watts per channel. Receivers with weak 4-ohm ratings may shut down or sound strained.
- Can I use them in a 5.1 setup?
- Yes. They work as front or surround speakers in a 5.1 system, and the included wall brackets help with surround placement.
- What comes in the box?
- A pair of speakers, detachable grilles, wall-mount brackets and speaker wire. Speaker cable and an amplifier are not included.
- How do they compare with the ELAC Debut B5.2?
- The Monolith plays louder with more bass from its dual woofers, while the ELAC is easier to drive and more neutral. The Monolith suits home theater; the ELAC suits critical stereo listening.
- Are they magnetically shielded?
- Monoprice does not list magnetic shielding. Keep them a few inches from CRT TVs and sensitive gear.
