MonopricePremium Immersive Satellite Speakers - Pair, 3 Inch Woofer, 3/4Inch Aluminum Dome, 100 Watt Input Power, Black

I have a Vizio SB36514-F6 sound bar that features rear satellite speakers with both front and upper facing speakers to accommodate Dolby Atmos, which compliment the same on the main bar. While the Vizio satellites are quite good for their size, I've been wondering for some time if the overall sound could be improved by swapping them out for these Monoprice units.I researched far and wide to see if they would be compatible (Ohm and otherwise) with the soundbar. However, Vizio does not publish such specs on their units and no other reviewers have mentioned actually using a soundbar with these Monoprice speakers. After much thought and consternation, I decided to give them a try.As with all Vizio soundbars, the satellites plug into the subwoofer via RCA pin plugs. (The sub is connected to the main bar wirelessly.) I utilized adapters (from Amazon) to go from the Vizio RCA plugs to bare wire for the installation of the Monoprice units. That was a snap, so on to testing.Well, so far everything is positive. The Monoprice units produce a deeper, wider and richer sound stage than do the stock units. The stock units are amazing for their size, but the Monoprice speakers just sound even better and fuller. They are somewhat larger than the Vizio units and quite substantial in appearance, definitely a 5/5.As mentioned, I was concerned about compatibility. I have no way to test the Ohm ratings on the Vizio, but I was very pleased to see that the Monoprice units responded well to the volume level I had previously set for the stock units. While perhaps not definitive, I have read that higher Ohms means more resistance and therefore the need for more power to get the same volume than from lower Ohm speakers. By that premise, the Vizio sub seems to be pretty compatible with my new speakers, requiring no more drain on the amplifiers in the sub to perform at the proper volume level. In fact, I was able to even turn down the volume by one notch after some further listening. Yes!Time will tell how this setup will last overtime, but for now I am very happy with my decision to give the Monoprice Premium Immersive Speakers a chance. Hope this is helpful to other soundbar users who might be considering a similar move.

Picked these up as a quick and cheep upgrade from a 3 channel system along with a Dolby Atmos receiver, wanted to spend more on that. I'm honestly impressed yes there's better, and I probably could have gotten better on the 2nd hand market for the same price or a little more, but I'm happy it fills my need now waiting for my sub to come in.

I wish these had 4" or 5" drivers instead of 3" (even if it costs more)- but the 3" work decent. I was looking for a way to add surround and atmos in an easy solution. I already had L+R fronts, center, and sub. I didn't want to mount anything on the walls, I just wanted a little bit of enhanced effect. Since these are bipolar, I used the side speakers for the surround and the top speaker was used for atmos. I placed the speakers behind the TV: I realize it's not the ideal surround setup, but the receiver was capable of providing those channels for a little money why not use them. It does work fairly well. By the way these are solidly built speakers, with decent efficiency and sound.

Impressive low sound from a 3" speaker. It sounded more like a 5" speaker. I took a chance since this price is low and this brand has been reliable.

I had purchased these speakers based on mostly positive reviews plus they had the added feature of having elevation speakers built in. The ad on Amazon states they are 8 ohm speakers. I was looking at Monoprice's website as I had some questions and saw they advertised them as 4 ohm speakers? I then called their 800 number and the rep on the other end said no these are definitely 4 ohm speakers. Using a 4 ohm speaker on some receivers designed for 8 ohm can cause overheating and damage the receiver.

So far I really like these speakers. I'm replacing some of my 5.1 setup from AGES ago that are super generic 5.1 RCA speakers from a cheap system from the mid-2000s. These are being used in my home office - mostly playing conference calls and music while I work. They sound pretty good for what I paid for them and I'm super happy with them so far.I'm no audiophile so I'm sure there are plenty of people that would call these garbage. I'm not one of those, they sound perfectly good to me.

Sounds ok but terrible for my application.

I bought two pair of these for my 5.1 system and they work and sound great. Look picture to see how I got it work. The only thing I wish they where banana plugs. I used Gear IT flexible banana plug adopters to get everything to work. GI-BPFX-PVC-6PK
