Roland MA-10D Digital Powered Speakers (Pair)
Better than the rest!
Well as I always say, if you want the best of anything, go to the speacialists.  When it comes to getting sneakers, you go to a sneaker store.  Pizza, you go to an Italian pizza only spot.  If you want a Mercedes Benz, don't go to a used car dealer, go to a Benz dealer. <br /> <br />If you want good audio on your PC, don't go to Logictec, Creative(yes, that's right), Labtec, Yamaha(yes), Sony (yes...) or any of these companies who make speakers as an afterthought.  You go to comapanies who specialize in speakers.  JBL, Polk and the like.  Edirol(Roland) is in that class as they specialze in studio gear.  That alone will tell you that you will be getting premium sound before even listening to it! <br /> <br />I bought these sound unheard based on the company and the fact that they are studio monitors, not just mere PC(cheap) speakers.  These have 10 watts each speaker, so that alone tells you that it will be half-way decent.  Then they are two-way.  Most PC speakers are full-range, BS speakers.  Finally, they are studio monitors!  That alone tells you that the sound HAS to be on point or that could not have a good name in the music industry. <br /> <br />The fact that they are monitors means that you get excellent stereo separation, clarity and even depth(more so on the 20 watt models).  Most people do not know what true sound sounds like, so these will not be appreciated by them.  These monitors can sound better than you home stereo.  The bass does not reach the lows that it should, but reaches more than many of those that come with subs(you can add one to these too).  These are unbeatable (in this range) for their clarity and precision.  If you are REALLY into it, they do have some that pump 50, 75 watts and up in EACH speaker, but where I live I have to keep it quiet.  You cannot go wrong with these at all.
