Just to verify, this product comes as a PAIR, correct? As in, if I make one purchase, I'll receive two speakers? Just want to make sure.

I gotta say something here. This page is linked to a center channel speaker (with 3 SPEAKERS AND A CROSSOVER). The bookshelf speakers at the left are NOT the right ones to be linked to this ad. As for the "single speaker" nonsense, even a base unit 5.1 system uses a center channel speaker for accurate reproduction of dialog. Placed as close as you can to the front center spot in front of your tv can yield clear and precise sound for TV and movies. This is the description of the Micca described on this page. Micca MB42X-C Center Channel Speaker Note: MB42X-C speakers are not self-powered and require an amplifier or receiver to play music Enjoy amazing quality movie soundtrack and music in your home with the compact and budget friendly Micca MB42X-C center channel speaker. Handsomely styled with classic contours and updated design cues, the MB42X-C is easy to place and blends into any room or decor. Its enhanced tonal balance and clarity makes it perfect for use in a home theater, anchoring important dialogue and action to the screen for a cinema-like experience.

Is there a noticeable difference between the 42 and 42X ?

I originally bought the mb42s and ordered/installed the $30 crossover kit from Micca. While I could not directly compare the two, I did have the originals "unaltered" long enough to notice an improvement in sound, especially at louder levels. Also I felt the mb42s lacked a little high end. After installing the upgrade, the highs were much better. There is a website that gives an equalizer adjustment that really makes them shine. basically, you knock down the 1K frequency by 4/5 db, and boost the 6K about the same a tad less. Definitely worth the $20 difference!

When will these become available again? Or are they discontinued?

The message changed from "we don't know when or if these will be available" to "sign up when these become available", so I am taking that as a good sign.It appears that these have been a sales success, so I would think that they will be back. I do hope they drop the price back down though. They recently raised the price to $99 a pair. They are worth that, but they are no longer a great deal at that price.

Anyone have experience using these as front speakers in a surround sound setup? Would they be loud enough with a Yamaha receiver for music and movies?

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.
