Average score from experts who have reviewed this product.
Clean, powerful sound. Reasonable low-end extension for a 2.0 system. Relatively flat response means you can use these as studio monitors in a pinch. Solid build quality. Plenty of connection choices.
Large for powered PC speakers. Slightly recessed high end. Still lack low-end punch compared with similarly priced 2.1 systems. Rear-mounted power switch is a pain
The M-Audio AV 40 remains a solid performer after some running manufacturing changes, and still straddles the line between higher-end home audio speakers and low-end studio monitors....
Abstract: To be fair, professionals would likely put the AV 40s on speaker stands behind the desk where they belong, so this might not be a fair complaint. But this is a consumer-level review and it has to be mentioned. Aside from this, the AV 40s offer indisputable sound quality and pro-level connectivity options that make them an attractive product for enthusiasts.
Peerless audio quality. Great value. Waketheneighbors loud. Magnetically shielded, so you won't catch a buzz off your cell phone or mess with your laptop's screen. Handy headphone jack lets you work musicians' hours while housemates snooze.
With 6 x 7.25inch footprints, they do take up room (and at 14 pounds a pair, you won't be moving them around much). Backside power switch means you're constantly doing a reacharound at bedtime.

The Studiophile AV 40 is a larger-than-average PC speaker system that makes a bigger-than-average sound; large 4-inch woofer, 1-inch tweeter; 20 watts per speaker; rock solid medium-density fiberboard construction; Bass Boost switch.
Large size (for PC/desktop speakers) may be an issue for some buyers.
