Well, interesting update regarding the humming/hissing. I submitted a support ticket to M-Audio 8 days ago to see if this is normal, and I just got a response now: Quote: Hi, What you described doesn’t sound like a normal behavior. If you purchased the product less then a year...

I just bought my AV40s a few days ago, and I noticed right from the start that they emit very faint noises while powered on. Even with no input plugged into the speakers, the sounds are still there. The woofers emit a low hum, while the tweeters emit a slightly higher pitched hiss. If I turn the...

Well, I went and bought the AV40's, and WOW! Even to my untrained ear, these things sound much better than my old mini component speakers, despite being only half the size. I'm throughly impressed with these speakers! Thanks for all the advice guys.

Thanks for the responses. The M-Audios keep getting more and more appealing. Also, I've come across the Creative GigaWorks T40 a few times now, which are in the same price range as the AV40's, but they seem more like a gimmicky "super awesome hifi buy these computer speakers" marketing type...

I'm looking for a set of 2.0/2.1 speakers to hook up to my computer for gaming, music, video... the whole shebang, but mostly music. They'll be in a small room, not a livingroom or anything. Right now I have a 7 or 8 year old Sharp mini component system plugged into my PC that probably cost...

The Etymotic ER-6i's seem to be popular. Any other takers?

Hey guys. I'd like to start out by saying that I'm completely new to the ear bud market, or even quality headphones for that matter. I'm a little confused as to where to start, so I'm posting here. I just recently bought an iPod, and I can't stand the bundled pair of ear buds. I currently...
