I am not a multimedia type by any stretch of the imagination. Recently, I discovered the Jango website, was intrigued by the fact that I could stream the type of music I enjoyed & of course was not fulfilled by the quality of sound emanating from my laptop speakers. So I embarked on a research mission for quality speakers. Reviews led me to this product, The M-Audio Stereophile AV 40. I am an audiophile on a budget & have probably spent over $100,000 on audio products in my lifetime. This is the first review I have taken the time to write. My home audio system consists of Parasound separate electronics, Platinum Audio speakers, Musical Fidelity CD player, and Hsu Research powered sub. I have listened to the AV 40s and find these gems possess accuracy, tightness, realism, & a very full sound. I do not think you can go wrong purchasing these if you are a music lover. I took the advice of other reviewers and upgraded the speaker wire to a quality 16 gauge wire and replaced the 1/8″ to RCA plug to a Radio Shack Gold interconnect. This does make a difference in the fullness & tightness of the sound. The bass boost switch is not necessary. These speakers provide a very balanced sound with it off. I am streaming Jango off my laptop and also use a Sony D-EJ925 Walkman is a CD source & could not be happier with the sound quality I am receiving from these speakers. If tight, accurate reproduction of an audio source is your goal, these are the speakers for you! Highly Recommended!!!!

M-Audio AV40s: 40 watts . My personal choice, these speakers are much bigger than the other contenders, but the amazing sound and plentiful bass will convince you that you don’t need to even think about a sub system. These wooden cabinets are very attractive and sturdy, but are not exactly portable weighing 14 lbs and being quite bulky. (More so than the Klipsch, but they also look nicer and are built better.) Besides the size and weight, the other issue is cost and maybe availability as few vendors sell M-Audio, and the price for the AV40s even with discount will be $50-$65 more than the cost of the other units I looked at. To me the sound and accuracy (no distortion at high volume, lots of accuracy at low volume) of the M-Audios, at both low and high volume, offsets all the problems. Four stars, loses a star because of higher cost and weight. (Note though these are still theoretically portable, far more so than any 2.1 system or even the average boombox…)

I have listened to speaker systems costing less [Logitech (Z-10 + others), Creative (T-20 + others)] and more [Bose (companion series 2, 3, and 5)] than these speakers, but none of them had the dynamic snap and even midrange of the AV 40 speakers–I could tell that just listening in the store. Of all the others, the Bose companion 5 sounded the best in-store (better demo setup, too)–but it fell far short of the AV 40s. I wish I could comment on the comparative focus and realism of the speakers, but I only took the Av 40s home and not the others, so there’s your caveat for the rest of this review.
