Reasons To Avoid MB42

My Experience Micca MB42 Book-Shelf Speakers

Only catch with the Micca MB 42 is that they don’t sound quite as good as some larger bookshelf speakers in same segment.

I don’t mean to say that MB 42 doesn’t sound well, they sound pretty good on their own but heads ahead you do notice they’re a little less detailed and the sound is a little thinner.

And when played for a long time in higher volume range you may hear little string noises from the speaker.

It’s not surprising that the bigger speaker sound better but you should be aware that you can’t get better sound quality for the same price if that’s what you’re looking for.

But that doesn’t mean you should totally dismiss the MB 42.

If style, size and just decent quality sound is all what you need then sure Micca MB 42 easily win over other more shining budget speakers competitors.

You need to understand your purpose and what’s your need are.

If you are looking for professional editing or mixing or for parties then MB-42 is not a right fit at all.

But if you are a beginner or looking for something for your small to mid-sized room without spending much $$$ then sure Micca MB42 is a decent proven successful model to opt for.
