Features
- Power: A true 200-watt experience. Unlike most amplifiers or receivers, the Monolith's 200 watts per channel rating is measured with all seven channels driven across the full power bandwidth of 20Hz to 20kHz into 8-ohm loads
- Additionally, there is NO current limiting and there is no protection circuitry in the amplifier circuit path. Even if the speakers' impedance drops to a low level, the Monolith is robust enough that the current is never limited.
- Dynamics: High resolution audio delivers the best in music and movie soundtracks. You deserve an amplifier capable of delivering clear and clean audio across a wide dynamic range!
- With a more than 120dB signal to noise ratio, the Monolith 5 can clearly and accurately articulate the quietest portions, the loudest portions, and everything in between.
- Class AB: More efficient than Class A, many high end, audiophile grade amplifiers utilize a Class AB design.

I doubt this will be brief.... Started with a Yamaha 3050, which was the first receiver I've ever had with a dead silent background (no static hiss coming from the speakers) and what felt like "high-end" sound quality, along with my Atlantic Technology 350 speakers up front (2200s everywhere else). However, the 350s started to die so I went in search of other, equivalent speakers and decided on the M&K S-150s. Since they're power hungry I knew I needed another, stronger amplifer than what was in the receiver, so I picked up an Emotiva XPA-5 2nd Gen. The match-up of the Emotiva and the M&Ks gave a super punchy, impactful sound with a much, MUCH tighter mid-range than before. There was, however.... a hiss. A hiss had started to come out of my speakers again. It was definitely the Emotiva doing it. The treble was also a lot less clear but it hard for me to discern whether or not that was the speakers or the amp doing it since I swapped both at the same time. But certain movies that I really enjoyed watching at high volume became grating to the ears (Fury Road and The 5th Element.) But that there was a hiss, and one that was definitely coming from the tweeter(s). Very disappointing. So I either needed new speakers or another amplifier, but which to upgrade first?--I'm not made of cash! The only speakers I'd want to upgrade to would cost $3,000+, and I thought about jumping straight to an Outlaw Balanced amp, but they recently raised their prices, so I decided on the 5 channel Monoprice Monolith (with the XLR inputs). THE RESULTS: so far I am super impressed. Not only do I have my dead silent background again but everything sounds clearer and even more impactful than before. I ran through the movies that had been driving me crazy and they definitely less grating on the ears. For a minute I thought dynamics might be lacking, then I'd get punched in the chest. Watching Isle of Dogs for example (did not expect it to impress on the sound front), the various drum sequences had surprising power and slam coming through the speakers (did not seem to be coming from the subs--my subs aren't that fast.) It's hard for me to comment on the treble. It's definitely better than the Emotiva, but I don't know if it's as good as my Yamaha/350 combo. I threw the 350s back into the loop straight from the Yamaha and was blessed with this enormous, enveloping, silky sound bubble that I had missed for so long... but that was about all that was good with the sound. With the Monolith/150s, it's more like a sterile, laser-shot of sound right at you. Much like I had with the Emotiva/150s but slightly cleaner, smoother, and punchy. Also, it seems to me that both Emotiva and Monoprice owners sometimes complain about a hiss. The Emotiva I got was even straight from the factory (it had been refurbished). I have this theory that those hisses aren't within what either company would consider "failing" performance. Whether or not that slight hiss is something that amplifies with the signal and noticeably degrades the sound quality is another matter. However, so far the Monoprice definitely seems like an upgrade from the Emotiva, but then again it was a Gen 2 and not the new Gen 3. I'm extremely pleased thus far

Great buy! I think all well designed amps sound like well designed amps. Built like a tank, never gets more than mildly warm, DEAD silent through either input, weighs a ton! Don't stack components on top or restrict airflow around it. It should last a long time (hopefully).

To me this is a well built amplifier and it’s worth every penny. Sound quality is to me up there with the best high end amps. I have mine paired up with klipsh reference and I use this for music and surround sound and it’s awesome to me best all around amp

Smooth consistent power, great sound. True value for the money

I bought this amp off the Monoprice website. The center channel on the first amp didn't work. I sent it back for a replacement. The right-surround channel on the replacement didn't work. I returned the replacement for a full refund and bought a different brand. I didn't have the energy to chance having to repackage it a third time. This is a very heavy amp. It would be a great value if it actually worked. I will admit that the channels that did work sounded amazing.

**Update** Monoprice replaced the unit and paid shipping both ways. New unit is functioning correctly and sounds amazing! I am using it with Polk lsim 707s/703s/706c and they really sing with this amp. Most noticable for me during movies when it is pushing all 5 channels, even at less than reference volume. For instance, in the bank robbery scene at the beginning of the dark knight, the gun shots and explosions have a lot more punch now and match what my svs sub is putting out. Before, the LFE channel seemed louder than everything else. The improvment is less noticeable during 2 channel music listening but I still think it is there. Better clarity is maintained through all frequencies when bass demand is high. It sounds more accurate. It did take me 6 months to finally get a working unit but they made it right eventually. I would stay away from the refurbished units. ***************** Purchased a refurbished 5x200 direct from monoprice. Has a popping in the left rear channel (thoroughly tested to be coming from the amp). Submitted RMA 60 days into the 90 day warranty. That was sept 15th and they still don't have a replacement for me. I guess I get a partially working amp for my $1300.

If your looking for an amplifier in this price range look no further. There is nothing out there that matches it for the price. I had a crown XLS 2002 370 watts per channel and this thing crushed it in every way. Don't listen to the BS this Amp is solid.
