IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor

I got these monitors for music editing as well as everyday listening, to place on a small office desk, and for potential use while traveling. Their size and sound are excellent. The sound is very precise, and the bass response is sufficient for my needs. Where they fall a bit short is the controls - all the elements (volume, power switch) are located on the back. This isn't an issue for studio work, but it's a bit more inconvenient for multimedia use. I also have a minor complaint about the cable connecting the two speakers - it's very thick and stiff, which increases the amount of desk space the monitors take up. I haven't used them while traveling yet - they've settled permanently on my desk.
