There are a few features that I liked that have been changed since the speakers were first released in 2008 . This earlier release still had 20 watts per speaker (rather than the newer ones with only 15 watts), and it still had the Bass Boost switch on the back, which was later eliminated. There are a lot of pro reviews online that were published in 2008. It’s amazing that any electronic item is still being produced almost 20 years later with very minimal changes. The speakers I am selling are the earlier model, in excellent condition. There is a small scrape on the side of one speaker, visible only upon close inspection (see photo). I am retired, downsizing to a much smaller home, much smaller desk area, just won’t have the space anymore. Hate to see them go…they are great quality speakers, and good looking. If you want to go beyond enjoying music and videos to creating your own, you need a serious speaker system with accurate sound. M-Audio studio speakers are music industry bestsellers. Unlike plastic multimedia speakers, AV 40s use technology that’s trusted by top musicians, engineers, and composers: premium woofer and tweeter components for rich lows and crystal highs; wave guides for clarity and detail; and wooden cabinets for tight, punchy sound. They’re perfect for creating all kinds of media—and also let you get the most out of your CDs, MP3s, DVDs, and games. Theres a very good pro review from AllSoundLabTeam that highlights some of the differences between the original 2008 version and the current version of these speakers. That said, some of the design changes made by M-Audio have made the new AV40 slightly less capable than the original product, launched back in 2008. Regardless of these design changes, the AV 40 is definitely a performance-oriented desktop speaker system that should be on the shortlist of must-have items for anyone who uses their computer for multimedia viewing or gaming. Although the differences between the two versions are relatively minor, they are worth mentioning nonetheless. The first change is the absence of the Bass Boost button which was previously located on the back of the speaker. M-Audio claims that removing this button provides more accurate monitoring of the overall sound quality. Second, the voltage selector has been removed – a feature that shouldn’t make much of a difference for most U.S. customers.Finally, M-Audio decided to reduce the rated power output of the new AV 40 from 20 watts per channel to 15 watts. Both the box and the literature inside the packaging prominently display 15 watts per channel but M-Audio now claims on their website that the new AV 40 still boasts 20 watts per channel. Official confirmation, either way, eludes consumers for now as M-Audio has not made a statement about this discrepancy as of this writing. Although the five watts are nice to have (assuming it has been reduced to 15 watts per channel), the AV 40s still produce an impressive sound that anyone can appreciate.Full review at https://allsoundlab.net/m-audio-av-40-speakers-review-are-the-av-40s-still-good/?unapproved=5177&moderation-hash=6901baf6095e80c5ca3f96b872bfe774#comment-5177 Features · 4 polypropylene-coated woofers for tight, accurate bass · 1 ferrofluid-cooled silk cone tweeters for clear, pristine highs · OptImage III tweeter wave guides for superior imaging and detail · 20-watt-per-channel amplifier with Class A/B architecture · Magnetic shielding for use near computer video monitors · Back-panel 1/4 TRS balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs for connecting gaming systems, DJ gear, mixers, amplifiers, instruments, and more · Front-panel 1/8 stereo auxiliary input for connecting your laptop or desktop computer, MP3 player, or other audio sources · Front-panel 1/8 headphone output for connecting headphones · Front-panel volume control · Wood cabinet with bass reflex port design for deep, rich sound and Bass Boost switch on back panel.
