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.
