Really happy with these speakers. I got a recommendation from a few friends who are house DJs, and these don't disappoint. Currently using them in my office setup just hooked in directly to my Macbook, and the sound quality is phenomenal.

7/30/2017 Update: I've had these speakers for over a year now, and I'm a huge fan. Highly recommend. Here's the skinny:
I've gotten into DJ'ing the last few years (at this point mostly just recording sets on my Traktor S2 and sharing on Soundcloud), so I wanted to find a good set of speakers that I could take with me if I wanted to go DJ a house party.
But, my main use for these is in my home office (I work remotely), and as desktop computer speakers, they really shine too. I tend to play a lot of electronic (EDM, deep house, ambient), rap and hip hop, and modern pop/electronic. When I'm not wearing my noise-canceling headphones, I'm blasting the music on these speakers.
The sound is REALLY good. I'm speaking as a person with audio production experience, and also experience wiring and installing car stereo systems (the kind with 10s and 12s in the back...and 600W amps and 1GW capacitors). These speakers aren't going to get a whole house bumping exactly, but they will get a whole room or floor bumping.
Lows are pretty solid for a system without a subwoofer, mids are great, and the highs are crystal clear.
Best part is that they have their own analog volume control on the speakers, so you can adjust both via the digital input (on your computer), and on the speaker itself.

I use the speakers to help me write music and listen at a professional sound quality.
I love the professsional sound that these speakers produce. I usually use computer speakers and the computer speakers sound like a tin can with no 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response.
