Are these worth the $65 more over the Micca MB42 Center Channel with my Yahmah DX675 receiver?

All I know is for $104 they blow away the more compact PA tl2 and tl3 that cost more. They put out tons of clear midrange sound. I have to go into my Denon receiver menu and turn them down just a bit. And my Ascend acoustic front Bookshelf speakers are no slouch's.

Main technical differences are low end (53 vs 60 for the MB42-C), impedence (8 vs 4), size (over an inch taller) and shielding (have vs have not). The Micca MB42X-C is shielded for $40 more. Against that, I'd take the CS10 any day. If your main speakers (or your sub-woofer) cover the bass, and you don't care about shielding, the Micca might be an OK tradeoff if money is tight. All I can say is I haven't been disappointed with my CS10. But note I would've gotten a CS2 but it didn't fit my cabinet (only $25 more).

Absolutely. A perfect balance of highs and lows. If your using for surround sound use an optical audio cable connection from your TV to the receiver for optimum performance. You can get it at The Home Depot for $8.97. BIG DIFFERENCE!

The MB42x's are better in every way, but they are also twice the price. It really depends what you want them for and how much you want to pay. I bought a pair of the Clubs, and I like them, but with me having 3 sets of 42's, the Clubs lose out

Hi mate I had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

Its a push. Go with the one substantially cheaper. Dont consider any surround receiver from another manufacturer.

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

I am using them and I personally think they sound great. Loud, powerful, and I truly believe it made a difference to my movie viewing experience. I ended up buying the BIC center channel as well. Be aware that the center channel is bigger than these side ones but I think it was well worth it.

The rxa-720 is a awesome receiver. As far as price is concerned I got mines open box but brand new which chopped 200$ off the price. See if u can find that type of deal.

I got mine for a center channel with the 5650 as left and right and a sub. Sounds great. I almost would even have bought this one for my left and right. Very clear and crisp but definitely pair with an additional sub.

I just got the Emotiva XPA-5 to drive M70 fronts, CS2 center, and M60 surrounds. The difference over my Onkyo TX-NR808 is quite amazing! If you're on a budget the XPA-5 is a good choice. If you have a lot more to spend I'd look at Adcom, Sunfire, and Parasound equipment. I haven't listened to them but from what I've read you won't be let down. I still think the Emotiva XPA-5 is one of the most underrated products on the market. For the money, it's an excellent option. 5 year warranty gives peace of mind.

Go for Pioneer VSX 921 k , It's a 7.1 channel, if u need to add 2 additional speakers in future....

NO these units would require a power amp for ea channel. Plus they cause a lot hiss and shot noise. I would not rec them at all. One of my receivers was DOA and to date they have not done anything to replace the dead unit.

No. The cs 65's are better BUT these are less expensive and less power hungry. It depends on what you can afford. Go with the cs version if you can afford them and the amp to push them

So this is not an amplified sound bar but a center channel with outputs. What is the advantage over 5.1 sound?

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read:http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

Yes the MB42X are 4-8ohm speakers but most 8 ohm receivers can power a pair of these so you're fine
