Review: Amazing center channel - A good center channel is a must have in any surround system. To really hear the voices and the movie sounds your system has to be led by a good center channel. I finally got around to addressing this in my system and I replaced my 15 year old cheap center channel with the mb42c. This speaker is very good. It gives you great sound for vocals and all those movie sounds you didn't even hear if you had no center channel. I also play music through it too and it rocks plenty good. I pair this with my surround system and a subwoofer. The combo Is awesome. I also bought the micca covos speakers too. When all are working together you get great sounds. I have it running through a Yamaha receiver. The base on the mb42c is plenty good and just adds to it when the sub is going. I love watching movies and football games now on my system. A good sound system really makes a good tv come to life. Without spending a lot micca allows us to have good speakers and not have to spend a ton of money. For us husbands it's a lot easier to convince the wives to buy a good sound system at these prices..:) Update 11/30/15 I added the crossover. I ordered it from micca for 19.00. It really does add to this speakers performance. I noticed more clarity in the vocals and the base got a lot more punch in it. The install was not hard and took me 10 minutes. I recommend that people put the crossover in to really experience the capability of this center channel. It was a good speaker before, but now wow it has more power, more punch and increased clarity. I'm no expert, but I do know it sounds great. Update 9/30/18 This speaker still working great. The sound is just as good as when first bought it. I'd buy micca again in the future. Good products at good prices.
Review: Here Is A Cheaper Way To Get The MB42X-C... - I bought a pair of Micca MB42X’s a while back and they were such an excellent buy for the quality and sound that when it came time to outfit my bedroom with a 5.1 system I wanted to buy TWO MB42X-C’s to use as mains and move my MB42X’s to the rear, already having a great JBL studio series center and a Klipsch 10” sub to throw into the mix. But as I was poking around I found that the MB42-C was only $49, and the crossover kit was $20 per speaker from miccastore.com and seeing that I could do the easy install of the crossover it would save me $20 on the pair I went that route. Besides I like to tinker with my stuff so the install was fun for me to do. Not to mention I was planning on putting in some poly fill in the speakers as I do with all my bookshelf speakers, so I was going to take the drivers out anyway. For me buying the MB42-C and crossover kit instead of the MB42X-C’s was a win-win situation. Using the upgraded MB42-C as my main speakers was the best idea I’ve had in a while. They have the same great sound as the MB42X’s but with a little more mid-bass punch and can go a little louder as well. The Klipsch sub anchors the whole system and goes loud enough to make small children wet their pants. The upgraded MB42-C sounds so good it’s hard to believe I spent only $138 total for my main speakers. The highs are crisp and detailed, mids are warm and smooth, and the mid-bass has a solid punch and a very pleasing overall sound. You are not going to find a better speaker arrangement for less than $150 anywhere. Needless to say I am extremely happy with my purchase. I have a great sounding budget system that rivals systems I’ve heard that are twice to three times the price easily. Sure the MB42X-C’s have the slick magnetic grills and a mat finish as opposed to the black woodgrain (which I prefer) , but all my speakers go naked anyway, plus I had the fun of installing the crossover and saved $20 for EXACTLY the same sound. No matter how you go with Micca, you are going to be pleased and have a system that is going to sound like you spent WAY more than you did. What more could you ask for? So if you are thinking about getting this speaker, stop thinking and put it (or them – buy two or three!) in your cart and click on that checkout button! You won’t regret it. Update: Now that I've got multiple hours of burn in time with these, the sound really opened up. Speaker burn in is not just a myth. They are a mechanical device. The more I played them the better they sounded, the bass output especially. They are a warm, punchy speaker with exceptional voice characteristics. A friend just bought Klipsch Reference R-15M speakers and was equally impressed with my two MB42-C's with crossovers. One key is that you need to set your receiver to "large speaker" to get the full potential of these.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just to verify, this product comes as a PAIR, correct? As in, if I make one purchase, I'll receive two speakers? Just want to make sure.**
A: I gotta say something here. This page is linked to a center channel speaker (with 3 SPEAKERS AND A CROSSOVER). The bookshelf speakers at the left are NOT the right ones to be linked to this ad. As for the "single speaker" nonsense, even a base unit 5.1 system uses a center channel speaker for accurate reproduction of dialog. Placed as close as you can to the front center spot in front of your tv can yield clear and precise sound for TV and movies.

Micca MB42X-C Center Channel Speaker
Note: MB42X-C speakers are not self-powered and require an amplifier or receiver to play music
Enjoy amazing quality movie soundtrack and music in your home with the compact and budget friendly Micca MB42X-C center channel speaker. Handsomely styled with classic contours and updated design cues, the MB42X-C is easy to place and blends into any room or decor. Its enhanced tonal balance and clarity makes it perfect for use in a home theater, anchoring important dialogue and action to the screen for a cinema-like experience.

**Q: Is there a noticeable difference between the 42 and 42X ?**
A: I originally bought the mb42s and ordered/installed the $30 crossover kit from Micca.  While I could not directly compare the two, I did have the originals "unaltered" long enough to notice an improvement in sound, especially at louder levels.  Also I felt the mb42s lacked a little high end.  After installing the upgrade, the highs were much better.  There is a website that gives an equalizer adjustment that really makes them shine.  basically, you knock down the 1K frequency by 4/5 db, and boost the 6K about the same a tad less.  Definitely worth the $20 difference!

**Q: When will these become available again? Or are they discontinued?**
A: The message changed from "we don't know when or if these will be available" to "sign up when these become available", so I am taking that as a good sign.It appears that these have been a sales success, so I would think that they will be back. I do hope they drop the price back down though. They recently raised the price to $99 a pair. They are worth that, but they are no longer a great deal at that price.

**Q: Anyone have experience using these as front speakers in a surround sound setup? Would they be loud enough with a Yamaha receiver for music and movies?**
A: I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not Mr. Right...It's Mr. Right Now
*by M***F on November 2, 2023*

I bought this center channel because I wanted to have something in place for dialogue while saving up for a larger center channel. It does OK. I have to drive up the gain on my receiver to get the correct balance level. The tone is very flat and will take a bit of EQ adjustment to get it "just right". Good News: No Boomy Bass...because it barely has any. Seriously though, if you are looking for an $80 Center channel you know you will have some compromises. This is certainly better than the "Home theater in a box" center channels that the big-box stores carry. Construction is good and honestly, its a good looking speaker I will re-purpose in the future. Side Note: It's a lot smaller than I thought's it would be despite me reading the measurements on Amazon.
