Better independent reviews unless the MB42's have changed. People seem to be  using most any capable full range bookshelf speaker with good effect from my readings but I don't have any personal experience. I've just researched it a lot for when I can add Atmos heights or on ceilings.\r\n\r\n[MB42X Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Micca-MB42X-Bookshelf-Speakers-Tweeter/dp/B00E7H8GG2)","subreddit_name":"hometheater","author":"MMfuryroad"},{"body":"Seems like they are going on sale on [amazon.ca](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00E7H8GG2/ref=sw_img_1?smid=ABLOYB9H8YPEZ\u0026amp;th=1).
