Review on 🔊 Micca RB42-C: Dark Walnut Center Channel Bookshelf Speaker - Premium Audio with 4-Inch Woofers and Silk Tweeter by Melissa Mcintosh

If you're delving deep into the RB42-C reviews, you probably want to make a modest investment in a better AV experience, like I did. A few years ago I used a Samsung soundbar and subwoofer. With some media sources, certain titles on Netflix, etc., I couldn't hear the voices clearly enough, even from a couch about 6-8 minutes away. I did a little research before I bought anything. Eventually, I found out about Micca and delved into their product reviews. Z Reviews and Joe and Tell (Joe N Tell, I can't remember) had great reviews on a number of their products. The Micca seems like a good starting point for Hi-Fi audio in terms of value for money. My second choice was the entry-level Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelf speakers with a center channel. I personally liked the Miccas a lot. I bought a Denon AVR-S950H receiver ($500 paid) along with a pair of Micca RB42 ($150 paid) for the front left and right speakers and a Micca RB42-C. (paid $100) as center channel. For streaming movies and games I use surround processing and output the center channel. Musically, I prefer the stereo image of the RB42 pair. The receiver has enough power per channel (about 125 watts per channel) to push through those drivers, which I think are rated at 100 watts. The bass that a powerful 4" woofer can produce is impressive. I think the improved crossover design used in the RB42/RB42-C is great and justifies the price difference to similar Micca "42" models. I planned it from the start , but after a week of installing a Micca RB42 in LCR (Left-Center-Right) mode, I saw a great sale (every year around Black Friday) for a Klipsch subwoofer (R-120SW which paid half - $250) and pulled the trigger to complete my 3.1 system.I set the receiver to cross the speakers and subwoofer at 80Hz.Now that The RB42 LCR is able to focus on the frequency range it was designed for the system really shines in. The subwoofer has a lot more power than I need but the receiver managed to adjust the distance to the speakers with ease and although the subwoofer far right s hidden in the room, all the bass seems to be coming straight out of the TV. You can see I'm still excited and on the honeymoon phase of my most recent purchase, but I think it would be hard to beat this system for all the $1,000 I paid and $100 for cables and accessories (I have my own speaker wire from 12-gauge oxygen-free copper wire). I'm using the HEOS app to stream Ultra HD Flac content from Revain Music HD. I was so impressed with the clarity that I started ripping my CD collection to FLAC. Highly recommended. I think the center channel completes the front surround experience. The voices just feel a lot more present, sort of projected from the action on screen (even if it's just two characters in dialogue, the undertones of their voice lend immersion to even sitcom renditions). Bookshelf speakers would suffice for a near-field table setup even without a subwoofer.
