What is the output sound power? I've already tried some expensive but small speakers and they are NOT loud! I think, they can't be loud at all...

The sound level and quality will surprise you. Its a heavy duty little speaker.

I have the same question and there isn't a clear answer with rationale. Can anyone chime in on this? My speakers are not USB powered. They have a dedicated power supply.

I, too, had to choose between the RC Micro and the Classic. I worried the the RC Micro's were too small to provide a full sound. I ended up choosing the RC MIcro's. Here's why: 1. I scoured the different audio forums to get the opinion of people who knew more than me. In the AVS forum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1153061), I found a posting by a member who posted frequently and who seemed to be highly respected by other forum members. This is what he wrote, "RC-Micro are smaller, with higher build quality and better drivers (than the Classic). They will have a more "refined" sound. The sub is a little better also. Whether it is "worth it" is strictly up to you and how critical you are in your bedroom listening. If you can afford the extra and are seeking the maximum sound quality from the smallest possible package, the RC-Micro will be great. If you aren't super critical and will only be doing casual, moderate volume listening, the Take Classic will probably be fine." 2. I called the tech help at Energy Speakers (they're very helpful, by the way). I told them I could buy the Classic or the RC Micro for the same price. Their tech guy said absolutely take the RC Micro's. 3. They sound better, they look better. I'm really happy with the RC Micro's. Hope that helps!

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

It has no output for external speakers, but we noted a full range (including a great Bass Sound), well forth the money for the space saving value with superior sound quality. Hope this helps!!!

I haven't heard any low noise from the monitor's internal speakers. I agree with the other the internal speakers are pretty tiny and don't produce very good sound. I just used some old BostonAcoustics theatre speakers I had laying around.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

I dont know but they are small speakers that dont go too loud so i would probably try speakers that are a little bigger.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Sadly I can't answer that question as it was a gift for my son. I've listened to the system but have no way of validating that claim. However, as a Tech I would say that the unit will not put out that much power. It may peek at that. With most sound systems they tend to over rate the output. Just my 2 cents....LOLHope this was helpful.

Not sure. In fact, I'm not sure it has the power to output sound to anything bigger or better than what it has. I got mine as a gift .... it barely has volume and one speaker stop working on the 3rd time I used used it.

As others have answered, these are just passive bookshelf speakers. If you're interested in powered speakers, a more worthwhile category for you to browse would be active monitors. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=active%20monitors

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels. best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

I have the same question. I've configured it for speaker b, but there is no sound.

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.
