## Description

The Micca MB42X builds on the success of the sensational Mb42 by significantly raising the performance bar while still taking up very little space and budget. Handsomely styled with classic contours and updated design cues, the MB42X is easy to place and blends into any room or decor. Its enhanced tonal balance and clarity makes it a great fit with a wide range of usage scenarios, from background music to home theater. The MB42X starts with the solid credentials of the Mb42: a compact ported enclosure Housing a balanced woven carbon fiber woofer delivering enhanced transient and impactful bass, and a high performance silk dome tweeter for smooth treble and accurate imaging. New for the MB42X is a highly optimized 12dB crossover with Zobel network and baffle step compensation. The result of painstaking fine tuning through balanced application of science and art, the New crossover yields a transformed sound signature that is incredibly open, balanced, and dynamic. Along with full size 5-way speaker wire binding posts and Hex fasteners, the MB42X has a magnetic grill system for added sophistication.

Hearing is believing, try them risk free in your home with your music. Place the MB42X along a wall or near a corner of the room for best results. They can be used on desks, book/wall shelves, or on speaker stands. If you are not absolutely delighted with the MB42X performance, simply Return them for a refund.

Review: A lot of speaker for the money - Coming from the world of bluetooth speakers and computer speakers i was really blown away with the performance of these small Micca. Im using them with my recently bought Fosi P3 pre amp and Fosi BT20a pro amplifier, the soundsource are Wiim pro. Highly recommend.
Review: Small speakers with big sound - This "no-name" (maybe I should say little-known) company has impressed me with the MB42X speaker system. I am powering them with the Topping TP22 mini amp, rated at 30 watts per channel. It seems to be a good combination of clean power that can get the speakers surprisingly loud for their size. They also stay quite clear at "loud" volumes- of course I can get them to distort if I turn everything up beyond reasonable levels in my sound card settings. I am using the speakers in a 2.1 desktop system, primarily for music, some movies and Netflix, as well as a small amount of gaming. The complete setup consists of a HP desktop with the ASUS Xonar DX sound card installed, Mediabridge 3.5mm to RCA cable connecting the sound card to the TP22 amp, cheapo speaker wire (will be replaced soon) to the MB42X, and finally the Polk PSW10 powered subwoofer- which has now become the weakest link of my system, as well as the crappy speaker wire. The little Miccas will almost completely drown out the PSW10 when I play them loud, even with bass heavy music. Now keep in mind the small 4" woofers will not go down to sub-bass frequencies, but they play what they can hit with authority and clarity. I am listening to them now and should mention even though I have not played them a full 20 hours or whatever to fully "loosen" the drivers, I am hearing sounds in my music I was not hearing before with a big name branded "studio monitor" called the AV40. I suspect the amp has something to do with that, as the drivers of the AV40 seem of decent quality, but they must use cheaper electronics to keep prices down. The MB42X/TP22 combo is far and away better than the AV40, in my opinion, and with sale prices can be had for not much more than the AV40 and is still cheaper than the next level of powered monitors or bookshelf speakers. The MB42X seem to have a fuller sound across their range, sound just fine and detailed at lower volumes and really start to shine when you give them some power. I like the magnetic grills- makes it easy to remove them and watch the little woofers work (they really like to move when turned up) and the speaker looks very clean with and without the grill as there are no holes on the face of the speaker, but really I don't think one should worry too much about how a speaker looks for obvious reasons. I was trying to keep this short, but if I am taking the time to write a review, I feel it's worth offering all of my feedback to help people make their decision. The build quality seems good, but they are quite a bit lighter than I expected when setting them up and that made me skeptical of their performance ability...until I turned them up. Again, not of much concern but worth mentioning. the 42X is lighter than the satellite AV40 speaker- the one with no amp inside. I think the cabinets are not as thick material. People have talked about box resonance, standing waves, this, that and the other technical terms the hard core "audiophiles" like to throw around. I would not label myself as such, but do appreciate a high quality sound system and this should be more than satisfactory for anyone looking for good sound quality at a reasonable price. Micca got this speaker right and the price is why they get 5 stars from me. I would probably give the speaker itself 4 stars as a 5 star speaker will have even more range. Again, you are looking at $200 or more for just the speakers. This setup was less than $200 for everything except speaker wire since I had some laying around. They need a more powerful sub. I have my eye on the Dayton Sub-1000, which effectively doubles the power of the PSW10, and should be good for a mix of music and movies. The Sub-1200 looks nice as well, but I think the 10" should be a good match for my setup and I don't need super loud room shaking bass, just enough to fill out the bottom end and hit hard in movies or bass heavy music. That comes out to almost $300 even for a very nice sounding desktop or bedroom system- both in my case. Some have said the speaker could even be used as a studio monitor, which I do not doubt. Finally, everything I have mentioned here was purchased through desertcart and the service has always been great. Prices are always competitive and shipping is usually very fast, even the free shipping. This order (speakers, amp and cable) was an exception due to a delay with desertcart and my bank processing the payment- these things happen. One phone call to desertcart got that cleared up and they sent my package over night, which was not requested by me at any time. Mostly, I was just calling to make sure everything was in stock, etc. because the order had not shipped for a couple days after placing it, which doesn't happen often in my experience here. They explained everything to me, then said it would be delivered the next day- still free shipping. Thanks again desertcart for the service and offering so much helpful information through the website itself and allowing us to post our feedback. 5 star service rating for the desertcart team!

## 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. 

This is the description of the Micca described on this page.
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy, excellent speakers.
*by M***N on 21 May 2021*

I'll use my pictures to guide anyone through this review. A picture is worth a thousand words. I'll be making several references to the last $77 pair of passive bookshelf speakers I bought from Amazon as well, the Singing Wood T25. Let's go! Pic 1. Box is nice and well detailed, see the photos 2. Product features are highlighted and pictured 3. Good for Micca to put a 'new product' seal (merely a piece of paper) on the box. Makes it slightly.... less tamper-proof. Reminded me of my last review (one star) I gave to a center speaker I ordered (Monoprice) that arrived all gunked up as it was opened before and used. 4. Speakers were indeed brand new, even individually bagged. Excellent so far. 5. They don't come attached with rubber feet, you need to put them on yourself. I think it's so you can use those acoustic isolation pads or whatever, if you choose, and the feet won't get in the way. I'm not going to as them sponges gather dust, 'nuff said. 6. Rear of the speakers, binding posts/banana inlets aren't as quality as my Singing Woods. Plastic here feels cheaper tho not that brittle. Disappointing. I know this is a budget speaker but if you want to be king of budget you'll have to pay attention to these things... 7/8. Wah. Build quality is def a little lower than my SWs. There is a vinyl wrap that looks and feels quite ok, but I wonder how it will hold up over time. Considering it will be situated near a window, I'm just crossing my fingers. For my SWs, DVD the lovely beech wood grain wrap looks quality and can fool you as being actual wood. The magnet front grilles also are a little loose, and not quality either. I guess most ppl will remove them but I need them to ward off the dust and kids.... 9. This is where all the negatives end. I hooked them up to both an av receiver and a small tube amplifier. I would say the small tube amp kicked the Pioneer receiver to the curb.... Sound quality was amazing with this speaker! I even did a direct A/B comparison with my SW T25s, the Micca Mb42x, which costed $40 more at $118, truly sounds that much better and even more so! Treble: Good, yet not harsh, unlike the Singing Woods, when cranked up loud. Mids: As good as the SW. Bass: Without a proper crossover, the SW's bass response really gets very unfocused and complicated bass passages just blend into each other. It just comes across as if the woofer can't keep up. But the MB42x, with a properly designed crossover, nailed fast and complicated bass passages excellently. Literally you can hear every note; it's actually like the bassist was playing better, on the same recording! A truly astounding difference! I listened to Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary album, comparing both speakers. In conclusion, you get what you pay for, more ex than the Singing Wood and sound is proportionally and also exponentially better. You can't ask for more than that. I'm pretty sure speakers of this caliber would have costed much more years ago. Only con is the crappy build quality. Oh yeah, no speaker wires, unlike the T25, which came with 2x 2.5m 18awg wires, nicely soldered at the tips! Micca could learn a thing or 5 from Singing Wood!! I hope the vinyl wrap won't start peeling off after a few years....
