(4 out of 5) by Mr. Owen S. Harvey on Jul 6, 2009Ive had this product for a year now, and have had no problems with it other than the headphone port on the front doesnt work anymore. Apart from that, its been great. Could do with a remote though.
Acoustic Energy AegoM Active Speakers
(4 out of 5) by Eric Shepherd on Jul 1, 2009 (North Yorkshire UK)Acoustic Energy AegoM Active Speakers.
Performance wise the speakers live up to their reputation. The manual is rubbish. Two pages of A5 photocopied to the extent the detail is excluded. The content is also poor, these speakers have lots of features the manual ignores. Even basic connection is a lottery. Come On Acoustic Energy, lets have a re-print & some more detail.

Cor Blimey Geeza Mate!
(5 out of 5) by Solomon on Jan 1, 2009 (London Town Baby!)I spent MONTHS searching for the right speakers for the right price & with the right power output & after using my Logitech X-230 for some time i decided its time for an upgrade & WHAT AN UPGRADE!!!
I love music & i would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE BAD BOYS!!! The Bass from the sub alone is ridiculous! So much power! Not forgetting the likkle speakers they pack great sound quality with no loss of sound AT ALL even at high volume (can't really say how loud they are because my neighbours two doors down complain). Crisp sounds & near to perfect low bass sound quality with great smooth melodies.
They look so sexy in white, compliments the room nicely peopled can't help but notice it - Trust me i know. What's great about it is people don't even have to see it when they feel the power of the bass line hit their chests to know it's packing heat. You can literally feel the sound waves when turned up!
These speakers are a great all rounder & with its power output you WONT be disappointed, just ask my mother!
GREAT speakers, PERFECT price, SEXY looks. What else can you ask for?
I laugh at you and your speakers if they ain't more powerful & looks more sexier than these. LOOOOL!

Almost perfection
(4 out of 5) by Mr. C. A. Jackson on Jul 29, 2008 (London, UK)As a professional musician and organist, quality of sound is of paramount importance in my hi-fi set-up. Having upgraded my computer to an iMac two years ago, it wasn't long before I wanted to upgrade the little Labtec speakers which had provided sound whenever sound-clips were featured on a website, so after some research, I purchased a pair of Behringer MS20 active monitors.
Technology, however, refuses to stand still, and in no time at all, I'm watching digital terrestrial television (Freeview) on my computer, using iTunes, and listening to the radio online whenever I am working. The BBC's iPlayer, amongst other things, has revolutionised the way radio, TV and other media are received. The sound from the speakers needs to complement this, and the Behringers were fine, but more was needed.
After further research I was about to purchase another system - indeed I'd made an order online - but I soon stumbled on a clutch of critical reviews from people who had high hopes but were then disappointed. That order was promptly cancelled and this AE Aego M 2.1 system ordered in its stead.
Having set up, my initial impressions? The bass is impressive, with bass drum, bass guitar and double bass being heard commendably. In fact, the opening of Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue & Riffs startled me. Curiously, the subwoofer is unable to reproduce the bottom B flat of the 32-foot flue stop of the organ of Bath Abbey on one CD which my living room B&W subwoofer and my iPod's small Sennheiser PX100 headphones reproduce effortlessly: an unexpected disappointment. In other organ music, the detail of some of the higher stops (mixtures and upperwork) is not as prominent as on the Behringers which have separate treble and bass controls; the Aego doesn't. And some may feel that there could be a little more in the mid-range.
Verdict: the switch was worthwhile. There are a few caveats mentioned above, but I can live perfectly well with these when listening to music at my computer, knowing that my bigger system in the living room will deliver the fussy detail when it's needed. In short, money well spent.

alright, but not for £130
(2 out of 5) by Harry Francis Lang on Jul 9, 2008 (uk)if you take them to their top volume, it distorts massively, you have to bring the sound down so much that its just as quiet as my current speakers which completely defeated the point. the subwoofer is amazing, but the sattelites aren't. it sounds like they are trying to give out the bass frequencies aswell as the treble, and they just can't take it. so they're alright, but not for that large amount of money
