M-Audio AV42 - Compact Active Desktop Reference Speakers (Pair) for Superior Sound, Perfect for Professional Media Creation and an Immersive Gaming Experience

Product Information

The right speaker is passive and must be connected to the left speaker using the bundled speaker wire. With the M-Audio AV42, you can use the wave guides to help direct the high-end frequencies coming out of the tweeters to create the sweet spot you like. Bought these to hook up to a desktop computer with limited space and wanted a good sounding compact speaker and this fit the bill perfectly. Think of the model AV32 as the little brother of the slightly larger and much more powerful AV42 model. You will not learn about the quality because that depends on the way you listen to the video; however, you can get a general idea about the sound volume and the presence of the bass in the mix.

They can be used to listen to media playback and can fill a small- to medium-sized room with robust sound.

Even if I am not driving my speakers at full volume, I like them to have the capability to increase volume. They provide an excellent reference sound and have some nice coloration that makes listening to them also enjoyable for regular purposes, such as gaming.
