 AV-20s a disappointment September 10, 2008

I purchased a pair of the AV-20s for my 12-year-old daughter's computer. I didn't listen to them very closely, but thought they sounded pretty good, so I bought a pair for myself to use at my office with my laptop. When listening to them a little more closely, I noticed that the right speaker sounded significantly louder than the left speaker. I thought this was strange so I played different types of music, hooked the speakers up to multiple sound sources, and placed the speakers in different locations. The right speaker was always louder than the left speaker. When I held a hand up to each speaker I could "feel" that the vibrations from the right speaker were stronger than the vibrations from the left. I then listened to the Av-20s hooked up to my daughter's computer and, sure enough, the same problem with the right speaker being louder than the left. I returned the pair meant for my office and got a replacement set and it, too, had the same problem of the right speaker being louder than the left. I have returned the replacement speakers as well, so I've now gone through 3 pairs of the AV-20s that all had the same problem. The returns were very easy with Amazon, but I'm disappointed in the speakers. I own a pair of the M-Audio Studiophile AV-40s and love them. They don't exhibit any of the problems I've had with the AV-20s. I'm going to roll the dice and try a pair of the AV-30s and see what kind of luck I have.
 WOW great looking speakers! September 3, 2008

Ok, I AM an audiophile or at least wannabe one.
The good
First of all these speakers are a beautiful black with a cool blue light coming behind the on/off volume knob. I though they looked good online and was not disappointed. They indeed do look sharp.
A nice sturdy design that stays on the desk really good. These speaker are very stable.
The Ugly
There is only one input and it is RCA?? I have a mini phone to RCA adapter so was able to connect them. Wait maybe it came with it..?? Dunno.
The connection between the speakers is a basic unshielded speaker wire. Sure,the likelihood you will get cross talk from local CB'ers or other interference is low but it would have been nice to have it be black at least.
THE BAD
If you look at them and wonder how such a small speaker can deliver such great sound the answer is "It can't." If they didn't look so sexy on my desk I would put back my old Microsoft Digital speakers. They sounded at least as good AND had a woofer.
No Low end. A friend made a few adjustments to my EQ and I did get it a bit better, but MAN what a pile these speakers are! Unless I am missing something having to do with setup they aren't worth the shipping charge.
These will be an improvement over the FREE speakers some systems come with AND they do sound better than the PC speaker.
Shame on you M-Audio. Stick to what you do best because these speakers are absolute garbage. You make great audio interfaces but these speakers are NOT your crowning achievement.
Anyone wanna buy some great looking speakers?

I'm not really an audiophile or tech-head but relative to your standard 2.0 setup and the power this is probably among the best available. Well-balanced and crisp sound sufficient for close-quarters listening. I'm hearing layers in songs that I wasn't hearing at all on my last PC speakers. Real weighty, compact, and sturdy build too. Prospective buyers just be aware that there's not a headphone jack; also, that these aren't what you want for playing parties or anything, but that's probably obvious.
