I was invited to write this review…
I was invited to write this review since I bought two Monolith 10" THX subwoofers from Monoprice. I'm very satisfied with the product though I'm not in a position to compare the product with lots of other subwoofers available in the market in a similar range with a similar specification. And I'm certainly not an audiophile and just beginning to set up my first HTS 5.2.2. To comment on customer service my experience is negative. I created a case (Case Number: CAS-140492-C4G6J2) to get answers for some of my questions. I didn't get any response from the support team. When reached out to the customer service after 10 days from buying the product due to $50 price drop, the representative of the company clearly said price matching is only possible on the same according to the company policy. I understand company policy and representative's loyalty to the company but I could have sent those subwoofers back and bought a second pair with that reduce price and would have been within the company's policy. That way this company could have lost ~$400 in shipping them back n' forth. The representative was unable to understand that and didn't protect customer's benefit and possible future recommendations from me. Another request I made was to change the payment method by using a different credit card. The representative was unable to do that because the representative was protecting the company's policy. The representative was very knowledgeable about all of the company policy and very loyal to protect the company's well-being. The representative was very kind, polite and formal as the representative repeatedly apologized to me for their inability to help me out. I'd suggest Monorpice show some leniency in their policy at least when customers are buying heafty products. Whenever there is a discussion on any AVS forum, I'll mention this to potential buyers. Edit (Dec 14th): My rating went down further. The manager couldn't keep up with the response to my review (see below) on Nov 30th. Today is Dec 14th and the same product is again discounted ($50 price drop) using coupon AMAZON10. Since this is not a BF/CM sale, I was expecting $100 in a refund. Unfortunately, they didn't price match even in case of regular sale.

Debanjan, I would like to apologize for the experience you had with our support team and the lack of response to your email. In regards to the price match policy, we do offer a price match guarantee for items that go on sale, however the guarantee does not apply to Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals/promotions. I do apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Paul S. CS Manager
