Monoprice's Monolith speaker line has some sleeper hits just waiting to be discovered. Find out how the Encore T6 and THX 465-T performed in our tests.
I’m always on the hunt for the next great deal in home audio. Anytime someone promises me I’ll be floored by the performance of a piece of gear, especially for its price, I’m immediately interested. But when I start hearing things like “there’s nothing else like it on the market right now,” well, that’s when the skepticism sets in and I feel like I have no choice but to investigate.
Design and specs This brings us to the Monolith Encore T6 and the monstrous THX-465T, which independently represent some very significant value. Together, they teach a mini master class in speaker design and marketing. The Encore T6 retail at Monoprice for $400 each, but you can also , presumably from Monoprice, with free shipping for around $300 each – so between $600 and $800 for a pair depending on where you buy.
But let’s talk performance. What do you get from the Encore T6 speaker? Foremost, the imaging and soundstage these speakers provide are just ridiculously good. They paint a wide, seamless stage of sound across your room, with instruments and voices very precisely positioned in the space across the front of the room. Vocals, for instance, seem to come from a very specific spot in the center of the room, and it is so convincing that you’d swear there was a third speaker there.
Overall, they’re pretty tremendous. But there’s one thing I have to talk about, and it’s the only thing that prevents me from saying this is the budget audiophile darling of the year. And I bring it up in that context because, for most folks, these speakers are simply going to knock you out. But for really picky listeners? Here’s the deal:
On the whole, they are definitely a step up. They’re more refined speaker and there’s not a ton of competition for them there right now. The is a formidable Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker, and it actually costs a bit less. It’s also very pretty if you ask me. So I’d have to consider that one.
