I ended up purchasing the M-audio speakers. Ironically, the boxes arrived in my living room, where our TV is located. To find out how well they worked, we hooked them up to the TV and liked the sound. I decided to keep them connected to the TV and visit my local Guitar Center store here in Chicago to hear monitor speakers in person. In addition to listening to the M-audio 40 speakers, I also listened to another M-audio speaker along with a KRK rocket 5 speakers. All seemed to have too much bass for editing. Maybe it was my golden years or champagne taste, but I then started listening to speakers a level above these. I compared the Mackey MR5, Yamaha MS 50 and Tannoy 501a speakers. The sound from the Tannoy speakers was brilliant and clear, but the bass was rather evident. With the Mackey, the bass made the whole sound image sound a little muddy. The Yamaha was crisp and clear, allowing me to hear every sound detail, every breath, every voice inflection, absolutely everything picked up by the microphone. It was clear and completely uncolored audio. I understand why this speaker and its famous predecessor, the NS 10M, which used endangered wood, are the industry standard. I ended up buying the Yamaha speakers and glad I did. I found the online and published reviews of all the different speakers rather meaningless. All said good things about the quality speakers. At a certain point, different kinds of people are attracted to quality products for different reasons. The real review is in the listening room hearing the speakers for yourself. I paid about three times more than what was paid for the M-Audio AV 40 speakers. Guitar Center price matched the lowest price available on the Internet, cutting the cost by $80 for the pair. I printed the web page with this lower price and it was accepted without a hassle. When I arrived home and connected the speakers, I began editing some of the spoken word recordings I have made in the last few months and can’t believe the clarity. These are highly recommended for anyone who has a computer serving as a dedicated audio workstation, like myself.

RE: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
Also it is important to remember that the sound quality will be bad if the source is bad. Many computer speakers works from the headphone socket of a sound card. If the quality of the sound card is bad the speakers will sound bad. There is something to be said for those speakers who have internal DACS and use a usb interface. At least test results sith them will be more or less the same. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 05 April 2012 01:23 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio Yes! I did read about the background hiss but there's none of that here whatever and I particularly looked for that, as one reviewer commented you'd expect better from a top of the line speaker system, I can only think of a few reasons as to why some people may be getting background hiss. Firstly I use good quality shielded leads between computer and speaker system, the lead that comes with the Altec Lansing - whilst able to do the job admirably in most cases - is quite thin thus interference may leak in through the lead if some people ar running their computer systems or speaker system near say ADSL modems, other switch mode supplies etc. Background noise through the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra system here is none, dead silence.

Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
Its also fallen to my knowledge that the people reviewing these speakers may have noisy sound cards? Anything's possible in a Windows machine smile, my set of Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speakers are connected to my Airport Express which seems to have a very nice output with next to no background noise so perhaps that's another explanation as to why some people get background his through the speaker system whilst others don't. I've been thinking your question over again hence this extra message on the subject and for the life of me I can't work out why this system would have any background noise or hiss in it of its own accord simply because the system uses 5 digital amps to control it.

I'd believe that. I think some of the on board stuff's outputs are cleaning up somewhat, but record from a mic once hooked to the input jack.

Re: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio
Yes! I did read about the background hiss but there's none of that here whatever and I particularly looked for that, as one reviewer commented you'd expect better from a top of the line speaker system, I can only think of a few reasons as to why some people may be getting background hiss. Firstly I use good quality shielded leads between computer and speaker system, the lead that comes with the Altec Lansing - whilst able to do the job admirably in most cases - is quite thin thus interference may leak in through the lead if some people ar running their computer systems or speaker system near say ADSL modems, other switch mode supplies etc. Background noise through the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra system here is none, dead silence.

I have the M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers. I use them with our TV and play music through them. I do like them a lot. I got them about 3 years ago through Amazon for about $125.
