quote from Kingfrog:
I can't agree with small Computer speakers being a viable alternative to anything professional except perhaps in a 200 SF room of 30 people.

Kingfrog ... just a question: Have you ever tried the Z-5500? ... If not, how can you judge them?

I have used them in rooms up to 150 people (some here have used them in even larger venues)and have received numerous compliments about the sound...
In one of the venues I work, I am located in one area, and have had people in the dining rooms off to my left and right compliment me on the music, so obviously the sound is being well dispersed ... Now, I am NOT talking about wall thumping dance bass sounds, but in the right environment they work wonderfully ...

Perhaps the fact that I am NOT blasting sounds out to the audience makes me less of a 'pro' ... but as long as my Country Club clients and their members are happy with my work and continue to pay me "pro" wages, I am satisfied ...
