Has anyone tried the Edirol MA-20D powered near-field monitors? They're not in the class of the higher-end powered monitors but they seem to make a nice compact all-in-one desktop solution. Impressions would be appreciated.

Wait...

I have never listened to the MA-20D, but I have a pair of Edirol's MA-10D's. They're not great, but I like them as desktop speakers. Both the 20 and 10D's have digital inputs which are really nice if you have a sound card with digital out. The reason my subject line says "wait" is because Edirol just released a new model, the MA-15D's (http://edirol.com/products/info/ma15d.html). They also just released another model, MA-7A which only have analogue inputs. My biggest complaint with the MA-10D's is the bass response. Both the MA-15D and the MA-7A have a sub woofer out which I think will make a huge difference. Pluss the MA-15D is cheaper than the MA-20D. Besides the sub woofer out, the only difference (that I can tell) between the two, is the power. The MA-20D has 20 watts per monitor, whereas, the MA-15D is 15 watts per monitor. You can purchase the MA-15D's from a variety of online sites for about $180, but they're not expected to ship until mid April. Hope this helps.
