Micca MB42 Bookshelf Speakers, Passive, Needs Amplifier or Receiver, Not for Use Directly with Turntable, 4-Inch Carbon Fiber Woofer and Silk Dome Tweeter (Black, Pair) (Renewed)

I like micca, but these have to have the crossovers changed to make them sound good, goto the micca website and youll find more info

I need powered instead of passive speakers

These are incredible speakers. The warmth and clarity is as good as or better than speakers 5x the price. They put a smile on my face every time I listen to them. But you need a good amp to drive them or you'll be missing out, I would recommend at least 100 watts. The bass they can produce is insane, it sounds like I've got an 8" sub in the system. They'll go so low the port noise becomes a problem, not because they're distorting, but because of the amount of air they're pumping. But that's fine, you shouldn't let them handle frequencies that low anyway.

happy. for my small apartment their just great. price right ,sound good, but know speakers wire?it has been a while since i order speakers, but they used to come with wire for hook up, in the good old------- old days. ;-] otherwise they are great.
