Hi ,
I am considering a PC speaker upgrade , currently using a Altec lansing VS2621 2.1 Channel Speakers. I am looking for a good pair which offers good quality sound . It will be mainly used for music listening only , no gaming or movies . Which one you would suggest among the following or any other suggestions .
MAudio Studiophile AV40 20W + 20W Powered Reference Monitors

My personal suggestion will be A2 Premium. But nothing can beat the looks of HK Soundsticks. :D And it also sounds very nice. Never heard or seen the first before.

Have you heard any of them in person? I guess the HK ones are more readily available in India. Perhaps a audition is possible.
 
I havint heard any of them ,Audition is a problem only HK is available locally and retailers are not willing to open the box for a demo :) . All three have good reviews and it seems HK is not that strong in mids i wish i could get an opinion from people who have heard these speakers.

And here's a review by Stereophile: http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/1207ae/

Heard both these speakers, personally own the Soundsticks, don't care much for either but would pick the cheaper one. From sound point of view the HKs suck if you pay 9k and are fine for 5.5k. The AV40 are probably the cleanest sounding of the lot and are no-nonsense unlike the fancy trimmings given to both the 'Consumer' products.
