Monoprice has really "wowed" us with what they can do with their Monolith audio products. Monoprice hired us to beta test a new budget series of amplifiers for them and to also help them properly spec them. What did we think of their new 2-channel M2100X, 3-channel M3100X, and 5-channel M5100X amplifiers starting at only $295? We put these amplifiers through our rigorous set of bench tests to see how they performed and give you some recommendations on the best applications for these amplifiers based building a budget 2CH system or supplementing a multi-ch Atmos surround system.
