Monoprice 10565 Premium 5.1 Channel Home Theater System with Subwoofer

Mi Monoprice 10565 Premium lo acompaño con Sony STRDN1080 y la calidad del sonido es increíble OMG! XD

Been meaning to do a review of this system for a while. Had the 10565 system since Oct '18 in the upstairs gameroom where its main duty is being connected to the xbox. Additionally, I stream music via bluetooth to the AVR and it does a great job for that as well (receiver is only putting out about 80-90W/ch, and over about 50W/ch it starts to break up, so no sense pushing it anyway).It's 200.00, or was when I got it... for a 5.1, powered-sub system. It sounds perfectly fine at that price point. You're not expecting to top a $1500 Klipschissplittlixblah-blah system for this price-point. Accept that, enjoy the great sound this puts out at reasonable volume levels, and carry on. I wouldn't crank this up to '11' for a party and expect it to survive... but I wouldn't do that for any stereo I have either... I have sympathy for my stuff I guess. I've had it at 50% volume for hours playing music though.. plenty loud (rock, metal, etc...).. though 'plenty' is of course subjective.In the 20x12 room it sits in, it will give pretty decent thump for sound-effects and movies w/in reason. Again.. price-point here.I paid at least $100 more than this 20 years ago (so, really, like ~$400 in today's money) for something way less 'good'... w/just a passive subwoofer, and less power-handling ability and it sounded like empty wooden boxes being klonked on by a swarm of agitated beavers vs. some pretty nice sound out of the monoprice setup.I don't know if I would push these speakers to the 'rated' power.. but surely they could hang with 50'ish nice, clean watts per-ch (you know, before your $300 receiver really starts to push out a lot of distortion anyway).I suspect the target buyer is someone in an apartment where noise-levels have to be rational. I think it'll do a great job filling an apartment living room with nice sound and the sub isn't so crazy that your neighbors will kill you (it has adjustments to set the levels and so on.. if you tick off your neighbors, that's on you).I'm saying all this stuff about 'bang for buck' and so on b/c I'm assuming anyone looking at this is on a budget and isn't packing a $2000 tube-amp at home waiting to connx to this thing. You're like a lot of us,.. got a budget AVR rated to somewhere between 70 and 100'ish Watts/ch for movies/music and want something that will at least compliment that setup. This will do that. Remember your budget AVR(eceiver) may be rated to 100W/ch, but it'll really give up doing that job distortion-free/low somewhere ~30W south that of that number (on a continual basis).Finish Quality: Again.. price-point-wise... it's exactly what I expected.. not fancy in the least, but clean. Some small imperfections in the finish.. nothing I can spot from more than a foot or two away that makes me upset. These are not 'lookers'.. though they look nice enough w/the grills off vs some other offerings in this price range I think. They actually disappear visually pretty well honestly... and I would think that has a different kind of appeal to the folks that don't -want- a showy, in-your-face system.Use/Assembly: Easy peasy... 5.1 systems have been around a while now... this is no different than the vast majority. You plug the wires from the appropriate channels off your AV Receiver into the various speakers, and your sub-out to the sub's inputs. Four of the speakers are identical, makes no difference which of those four goes where (front L/R vs rear L/R). The center channel is specifically made/intended to be such.. it's obvious, can't mess it up. The powered sub does not have the '5' outs itself.. it just takes either RCA inputs or speaker-level left/right from stereo. So, it won't necessarily turn an old-school 2-channel stereo into a 5.1 system... not in any easy plug/play way that I am aware of anyway.. but I'm hardly an expert. Seek YouTube Gurus for that kind of info. There's instructions in the box.. read those, I may be completely lying about the 2->5.1 thing... I did not read them, but my setup was blindingly-easy, even for me.So, there's my 5-or-so month update... still quite pleased, don't have any regrets for the type of use I've put it through.

en general no es algo que compraria de nuevo, despues de leer las reseñas de las demas personas, pense que seria buena opcion de compra, pero creo que tenias una mjor expectativa.

How time flies! I bought this surround system 5 years ago! And its still going strong. The centre of my system is now a relatively old Marantz AV Surround Receiver NR1403 and a 60” Samsung 8000 series 60 inch LED 3D TV.The Monoprice sound surround system exceeded my expectations. After 5 years the sound is excellent it just seems to get better all the time. They said the speakers required a break in period. To my ears the system sounds full and smooth. The speakers combined with the Marantz sound stage creates better than average sound compared to other systems I’ve had in the past.I have not had any issues with the system and I like the idea that the subwoofer only activates when necessary.In addition to using the system for the TV, I listen to both my large collection of CDs and streaming sources through this system and all sound very good, which isn’t the case with some sound surround systems.The finish is plain and unadorned, which I like. Simple black cube shapes for the satellite speakers and the subwoofer provides nice smooth bass with adjustable crossover and has a relatively small footprint. The system is hard wired not wireless, so some wiring is required. I installed the wiring for the rear speakers along the bottom of the baseboard and its pretty well invisible if one isn’t looking for it.At the time I bought this system a CNET review compared the Monoprice system positively to the similar Energy Take Classic 5.1 system which cost much more saying it sounded better. There was some speculation at the time that the Monoprice system was reversed engineered from the Energy system. Whether that was the case or not I don’t know, I just know they do sound great. I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a reasonably priced 5. 1 system that performs well without having to break the bank.

Using these for my home theater. Added a pair of Andrew Jones bookshelfs as my L and R fronts and the whole setup sounds like a million bucks. Did get these for less than they seem to be currently but would honestly still say they are worth it.Edit: After some more time and upgrades I'll say they're good but not out of this world. If I were to set up a home theater again, knowing what I know now, I would go straight to higher quality and just do a 2.1 setup. That can be done for the same price with amazing sounding stuff. So if you're on a budget, add the other speakers later. Once I put in an Andrew Jones center channel for a hundred bucks, I was blown away. I've felt the sub is the best element of this by far but unfortunately, the ring around where the air blows through is starting to rattle a bit in really low end, heavy bass scenes. I'm not running it crazy loud either. So in the end, I feel like I'll be phasing this system out entirely. Not that it's terrible, but for a home theater, it's just... okay.
