I am looking to replace my Logitech Z-2300's. I dont need all the bass they have and would rather get something with a better sound. Which of these would be better? They would be used for music, gaming, and movies. I will be using a ZERO DAC with these. Both are very close in price.

Behringer MS40 or M-Audio AV40?

Personally, I like my MS40. You're not going to get a super duper clean sound at $100, but the MS40 definitely do it for me and have no strong need for a subwoofer. The AV40 may require a subwoofer more than the MS40 and I think (not 100% sure) it sounds a bit cleaner. Also, I love the various inputs of the MS40, which allows for ease of plugging in during situations of limited connectors/connections.

I have the MS40s, and for me personally, these have no bass whatsoever. I would recommend getting a sub if you like to listen to music period. That is my opinion anyway.
I play games, movies and listen to music (rock, industrial, jazz and heavy metal) on my computer and I have the M-Audio AV40s. I like these a lot. Compared to my old Klipsch Promedia v4.1 these have better mids and highs. Overall, they're clearer than my promedias. The bass is obviously weaker since I have no sub now, but it's good enough for me. These also have a switch on the back to give the bass an extra kick.
Yeah, found this after the post... you would think after 8 years I would know how to use the search function..... but NOPE!
I ended up getting the M-Audio because of a few issues I read and spaceman's recommendation to me.

I definitely do not think the AV-40's require more of a subwoofer over the MS40's.
I do not need a subwoofer of any kind for my liking with my AV-40's, though some may. I find the bass MORE than enough, and won't plan on purchasing a subwoofer any time soon at all. If I needed more bass, there would be the lovely 'bass boost' at the back. If anything, I think there is too much bass sometimes. My opinion

I was reading the AV-40's had a good amount of bass and for those who had owned both they said the AV-40s had more then the MS40's.

It's been no hassle for me . I could see how it could be annoying though.
. I could see how it could be annoying though.Huh? Isn't it supposed to be the MS40s are for people with on board sound, and the AV40 is for people with a DAC/soundcard since it had no build in DAC?

Yeah, he screwed up. Lol.
I got the M-Audio AV40 per spaceman's recommendation in a PM to me. I think the post above he had the part#s backwards. The AV40's have plenty of bass for me and sound great so far. Was using some cheap RCA's that came free in some walmart car audio kit until I picked up some nicer cables today. That helped bring the treble up for me. The more I play them the better they sound.
I was wondering the same.
Sweet.. because I have to power on my Zero and my speakers every time I want to use them. The switch being on back of the speakers is a pain. I will just leave mine on.
