20 watts per channel.

The DM-20 speakers each feature 20 watts per channel. Perfect for use with Roland/BOSS digital studios and instruments, computer-based setups and more. Magnetically shielded black, real wood cabinets. Eliminate the line-loss and hum that can occur when using analog cabling - resulting in a more accurate reflection of your mix.

No one likes to reach around to the back of a speaker. Now you can adjust each input's volume - along with the Treble and Bass - right from the front of the speaker. The power is also located on the front, along with a stereo headphones jack for silent monitoring. The DM-20 also offers independent transformers and power amps for each speaker cabinet.

Connections include 2 separate line inputs for mixing 2 sources with separate volume controls and a choice of digital or analog (stereo miniature and RCA) inputs.

"Not what you may think"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Depends on what your looking for. If you want some good studio monitors I suggest getting KRK Rockit monitors, either the RP5 $300 a pair, RP6 $400 a pair or RP8 $500 a pair. You do not want these to mix on unless you want a bargin comparison set
Sound
These have a very good sound for computer monitors but the are not up to the task of a good studio monitor. Sound gets distorted when there is alot of bass.
Features
Good placement of the controls and digital hookup.
Quality
The speaker with the controls bleeds air through the buttons so it's not sealed as well as I would like.
Value
If your liiking for some computer monitors with digital hookups for games or to listen to music, then these are good. other than that you can get better
The Wow Factor
The cases are wood (This is good)
