SOUNDS

I took these before I was pregnant because the mao on my Logitech Z2300 (super kit from> 2.1 THX certified), but very (too) provided low (i like that however for ater a movie, listen to music or play) but here we are talking about so I wanted computer music sthg more neutral.

I'm no expert, I am pleased by the mao (style slam, hip hop, R'n'B, Soul / Goapel ...

the sound is clearer than on my logitech, less bass, and I re-balanced my songs at once in a listening faisaint AV40 on V2 and back on my 2.1 and my headphone well it was not worse see bcp better (less saturation) and here it was qqs minutes I will work on it.

OVERALL OPINION

installed this week

this is my 1st "Monitor", I do not think the AV40 II is true of monitor seen their prices but are not evil and do their job (the more neutral than the HiFi or HP media), I tested other monitor but heard in the studio or with friends and it was not the same price.

+: Super nice, small, its more neutral than the 2.1
-: Lack of bass (but it is the goal at the same time), plop when power failure, if saturated volume too high or low

good value for me more I like having the stuff of the same brand and I:

Monitor: M-Audio AV 40
Sound Card: M-Audio MobilPre
master keyboard: M-Audio KeyRig 49

if I would take over as the Yamaha HS-50 if not in their range for me are the top AV40 V2.
