OptImage III Technology
M-Audio's proprietary OptImage III wave guide improves overall detail and clarity while minimizing sound issues that can plague other compact monitors. The system works by improving the overall efficiency of the tweeter as well as time-aligning the drivers. This ensures that the audio from each driver reaches the listener at the same time, guaranteeing precise stereo imaging and accurate response.
Magnetically Shielded for Desktop Use
Unchecked, all speakers emit electromagnetic waves that can wreak havoc with your computer's video monitor or a nearby TV. The Studiophile AV 40 speakers are magnetically shielded so that all of your electronic equipment can coexist on your desktop without interference.

I have a ton of audio equipment; ranging from Bose, Harmon Kardon, bang and olufsen and these M-Audio speakers are Top-Notch.
Durability: 10/10 I have moved these things back and forth from Scranton PA to Long Island NY as well as from dorm rooms to houses. I have taken these outdoors and ran extension chords for parties as well as used them as costers for drinks. They are now with me 8 years later in my 4th apartment in Hoboken NJ and they still are kicking and pumping out great bass as well as high highs.
Sound: 10/10 These things sound great. Good lows, mids and highs. There is even a Bass boost switch that i always leave on, unless i am watching a movie at 2 a.m and dont want to wake the neighbors
Price: These are priced as an entry-level system and perform way above that. These perform similar to a system 3 or 4 times the price.
All in all a great all around speaker that you can enjoy for years.
I read a number of the one star reviews and a number of people said their speakers got fried or quit working early on. If that happens I will lower my review. As long as they are still working, I am pleased with them. I would have given them five stars if they didn't generate so much heat.
I'm building a music computer for myself, piece by piece, and I don't have all the pieces, so I can't comment on how transparent the sound is (for producing music that sounds good from various sources).
Right now, I use them for sound from my MacBook or when watching movies or gaming on my ps3, and I leave the bass boost on. They sound wonderful to me.
The last computer speakers I had were a $30 set from Phillips, with a subwoofer. ...but I moved, left the power adapter at home, so I couldn't use those, and my neighbor gave me some old, wimpy Dell speakers.
These, of course, sound way better than either of those. ...and the best comparisons I have, from my past, are some good car speakers, or my old Sharp audio system, that cost around $400-500 when I bought it.
I have never turned the volume to the halfway mark. These are loud. ...but I also have a small room, I'm not sure what they would be like in a large house, but if I turned these all the way up, I would definitely get complaints and probably ruin my ears.
I don't recommend any of the cables that are included; they'll all of poor quality, but they'll do, if you don't want to pay the extra money in one order.
...not having a "power brick" is awesome.
Pay attention to the size of the speakers. I thought they would be smaller, but I had plenty of space to place them. Overall, if you're a music producer, I haven't had enough experience with them to say how well they work for monitoring...
If you're someone who wants nice sound for a laptop/pc or home theater, in a fairly small room, these should be great for you, without having to spend a ton of money.
