How are these for monitoring out of a reciever?

How do most of you set up your audio monitoring?
I have a reciever hooked up to speakers. Is it better to have speakers hooked up directly to the computers sound card or hooked up to the decks audio output?
should the reciver be replaced with a small mixer? Need some guidance thanx

Are you talking critical monitoring for editing or just general listening? Either way at $30, those speakers are probably crap. The specs they give you on consumer products are meaningless.

why is this...just curious. arent specs specs wether it is pro or consumer

I did not state that well. The specs that are provided, like the ones in your link, don't really tell you anything important to crucial listening. Things like the frequency response of 55Hz-20kHz does not mean anything unless there is a plus/minus variable. My clock alarm radio goes from 55Hz-20kHz, just not very accurately. Professional speakers will give you an actual frequency graph of your speaker. You want one as flat as possible.

In the last 6 months there was a thread on cheap monitors. A search should find it.

Or just take my advice and go to Ebay and get NS10s.

The golden rule of audio... If it sounds good on an NS10, it will sound good anywhere.
