Cons: * Power switch is on the back of left speaker.* 1/8 - RCA jack cord that came with them kept causing right speaker to cut in and out (tried with sound card and my iPod Touch) and cause static. Had a spare high quality one which remedied that problem.* The way M-Audio tuned the bass port just doesn't work for me. If you have these thing in the middle of the room, it's not bad, but at a desk, especially close to a wall, it really made mid to low sound muddy.* Heat output on the left speaker (has the amp) does get pretty warm (and apparently what attributes to the left speaker 20% of right speaker volume issue if you Google around).

Pros: * Sound quality is excellent for such a small unit.* Even at 15 watts a channel, will fill a medium sized room with sound. More than enough for PC desktop speakers.* 2.0 Setup; really didn't want a sub.* Aux In and Headphone jack (volume also controls headphone jack volume)* Blue power LED is nice!* They look sharp next to my Samsung monitors!
Comment:
After trying a few different 2.1 systems, I realized that for what I wanted, they were not going to work out. I came across the AV 40 and the good reviews and at the same time I saw these AV30 on sale at NCIX. The first set, the right speaker kept cutting out so I swapped out for a new pair and the same thing happened on the next. I started messing around with the wires and then realized the 1/8 headphone jack plug wasn't seating correctly. I had another one around that was of good quality and that solved the problem (include a better cable M-Audio!).For music, you definitely need to have a good source to feed these things as they sound great. Started out with my EQ flat and slowly tweak things to where I liked it (Eagles, Adele21 were some of my source FLACs). The bass boost switch on the back just ruins things in my opinion so I'd say leave it off. These are not for rap or heavy bass music (2.1 for that!). I was still getting fairly boomy bass and one tip I came across was to plug the ports if you're close to a wall (which I am). That made a tremendous difference in my case (room acoustics and all) and I would recommend trying that if you're unhappy with the mid/low bass response from these.Gaming and movies sounded great as well. I don't know how much gaming I'll do on them as I use my headphones for that but if I don't feel like wearing them, I know I'll have decent 2.0 sound (I tried Dead Island with them and heard things I hadn't heard before). I watched "Heat's" bank heist scene and the automatic gun fire sounded very good. Sampled some scenes from Transformers 2 and 3 and was also pleased with how well they sounded considering no sub.I've been told these will take around 100 hours to "break in". It's one of those things that if you're listening to them you probably won't notice but every morning I come back I can't get over how good they sound so it's probably something worth noting.

Great build quality. I bought them for my teacher, and the class is very happy with their volume and quality. Movies in class sound amazing. Couldn't be happier.
