This is my first pair of powered monitors and I couldn't be happier. I'm using them with my Pioneer DJ Controller and for a small set-up these are perfect. Hook-up is simple. Product has a cool feature where it goes into a sleep mode when inactive for a long period. Sound is clear and louder than i expected. If you need some monitors for a home set up, or house gatherings, I highly recommend the Pioneer DM-40.
Great studio monitors for those on a budget. There are better ones out there, but you will spend twice as much or more to gain only a little more performance.
