I currently own the M-Audio AV-30 monitors and they have really good low end and clear highs. Also the good part is that these are for professionals and for consumers like me. Meaning they can be both used for studio monitoring or just for music listening like how I use them for.

What I like the best about M-Audio monitors is that they have alot of protections like these: "RF interference, output current limiting, over temperature, turn on/off transient, subsonic filter".

The best part is that they have a protection called output current limiting so no matter how loud you turn them up they won't damage the cones. I have turned my monitors full blast and still they work perfectly fine. I know someone has done the same thing with other M-Audio monitors and they say the same thing. Of cource at high volumes they will sound distorted but I don't ever have to worry about the monitors getting damaged.


Here are some specs for the AV-30 monitors.
