#50 Micca MB42X-C: $89.99 each Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Micca MB42X-C G2, ranked higher, estimated 3.5/5.
Pros: A low cost compact center with a 0.75” silk dome tweeter between two 4” carbon fiber woofers. Erin’s Audio Corner measured a preference score that reaches 6.17 with an ideal subwoofer, good for $90. Measured bass extension of 101.1Hz (-3dB).
Cons: On-axis response is very uneven (1.82dB average deviation), and bass rolls off at 101.1Hz (-3dB) and about 65Hz (-10dB), so it needs a subwoofer crossed over high. Its score without one is 3.00. Micca replaced it with the MB42X-C G2. Discontinued.
