Brand: Monoprice
#134 Monoprice Monolith M12-S: $599 Discontinued eBay
Same family: the Monoprice Monolith M10-S (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.4/5) and the Monoprice Monolith M15-S (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5).
Pros: A low cost sealed 12 inch subwoofer with solid upper bass punch for music and movies, now discontinued. Published CEA-2010 specifications list 100.1 dB at 20 Hz and 112.7 dB through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 12” (305mm) driver delivers substantial upper-bass output for movie effects and music.
Cons: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority. The 500.4H x 391.2W x 424.2D mm cabinet and 44.7 kg mass still require deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.
Notes: Product # 35142
