Awesome! I begged Randy rhe cheap audio man to make this video but he refuses to. So I made the video myself as Randy. 😅 Love the center channel attention, its time we start holding manufacturers to the grinding wheel on so many crappy center channel speakers.

@@TheFrugalAudiophile nice comparison 👍👍 Finally I am going to build DIY MTM With same woofer ( mk442 has ) With better 1 inch silk dome tweeter ( HiVi sd1.1a ) or peerless tweeter
Micca MB42XC - Vocals sound center just like its meant to be the rest sounds like main speaker mids.

@@TheFrugalAudiophile What are your thoughts of using these for surrounds and center? So five of these paired to the new line of monoprice subwoofers (SSW-15 - 600watt RMS) Total system (minus AV) would be $450 - seems frugal but not cheap to me.

@@rawimpact Do you mean the Monoprice center? I think it would work great as a center. Bit of an odd shape for a surround, but it could work. I would suggest getting the matching bookshelves as surround. Could use the center as fronts tho.

@@rawimpact Yes, a great choice in this price category! Unless you really have a large room I would get the bookshelves for surrounds and the maybe the towers for frogs. This would make a formidable system! Don't get the MK sub tho, its unsized and powered for home theater IMO. Look at the other subs from Dayton or a different brand such as Jamo, OSD or Jamo.

Well done, but do you have any insight on the Neumi CS5 center channel speaker vs Sony Core Series center speaker? They are both under 100 on Amazon and Best Buy has the Sony for store purchase at $75 for ppl who live nearby and have no patience for shipping.

The Micca has the best vocal clarity. I think your choice was way off. Go back and listen to your recording. You can hear every word spoken and it was not overwhelmed by the music. I say the Micca hands down.
