Hard to beat for this price! I had long been creative T20 for listening to music and sound from my PC: not bad, but nothing flattering. For a few euros more, with the M-Audio AV 40, you change your universe of Hifi, true! but beware: loyalty, it surprises! If you have experienced the boom boom speakers and dling dling 2.0, 2.1 even in good brands, you will find a bit dull. Yet what truth voices, and instruments like the stamps are recognizable and fair! And bass! the bass string to empty a bass (! Hrz 32, no less) sounds exactly as if you were there: Check the "Montreux Alexander" attack "work song": not a harmonic is missing, the rustling rope on the handle is precise: a real treat! to rediscover Mingus! It is the spirit monitor, sound man: all the music, just music: a speaker is not an instrument which adds, it must be accurate. Here it is! Let's be clear: such power wiretap 1 5 meters without losing detail: beyond, it would add a few watts of plus..et good two to three hundred dollars! If you are "audiophile", the active speaker is for you (as flawless in classic piano, violin, orchestra, voice, it goes very clean and very fair). I have found nothing better in the budget 200-300 euros max that I had set myself.
