I only know one guy who has them and he lives far away and I didn't hear them. But the ones I saw with him are rather small and for low frequencies you need big membranes and lots of air to be moved. So the bigger the speaker the lower the frequencies supported. And with some small speakers half the height of your 17" screen you can't expect much... > One thing to keep in mind with active speakers budgetwise is, that you > also need something to control their volume.

I had a look at the C-Control too and would have bought it (on ebay) but there also was an auction where I got a MAM-line-mixer for <25€ and that is doing its duty here now. Even my wife got used to it. :-) But such a thing is important. One could argue that you don't need one with an external (hifi-)amp but a small mixer lets you use different sources at the same time or offers ways of monitoring, talk-back and the like (in the case of the C-Control or its behringer-pendant).
