Tight budget and need fast speakers for my Mac (an old G4 eMac and indestructible!) For small pice dedicates house music: for lctro and also mtal / rock

I did not want to buy in against the computer speakers low quality both in terms of manufacturing quality (cheap plastic) or

Mao used to cost more time and another watching a movie (but I am the less demanding except for film music)
It is therefore amplified speakers (for newbies: it plugs into the mains).
Good no external transformer connection for me sufficient: in + mini mini jack headphone facade. To the rear: two jacks + from RCA).

Another good point: a double jack and also includes a jack to RCA mle mle
Important: you can change the fuse trs disassemble easily and if he let go.
The volume button does not crack, is enjoyable to use and surrounded by a blue halo friendly (but hey it's not a major trs)

Trs something cool, I plug the speakers out of my computer but I can plug into the AUX IN facade at the same time, we hear the two (and the sound volume commandra gn ral): very practical, really!

SOUNDS

- This is my Premire monitoring speakers so it's hard for me to judge but in any case I find them fairly neutral if only one does not put too prs of a wall (which If the bass are a bit too present)
- There is a switch to boost the bass but frankly, I do not use.
- The image is stro carrment I find excellent.
- The sound is crystal-clear and distinct trs, low ptent well but does not eat up other frquences I redcouvre my records and plays with these speakers with pleasure.
- The dynamics is well respected

OVERALL OPINION

- I use them for three weeks now.
The only fault I agree it is their shield: even if the well in front of a screen CRT, we feel that there are disturbances on the screen when less than thirty centimtre the screen but hey trs is far from being dramatic.
The ratio quality price is excellent even carrment unbeatable: these are real speakers MDF (wood mdium) vinyl plates that are not cheap or boom boom.
You will not be ashamed that's for sure because the sound is good trs say anything, really.
In addition they are, I find powerful enough to be pregnant and do not saturate too high!
With exprience, so I do it again this choice and even if I had a little more euros I bought those because of all the fawn I can put her back in time (I in the apartment!)
