    We have only tested the M-Audio AV-40s, which we think sound great.

    We have the Fostex PM05 at our living room at home and they are good for background listening
    Like a radio or some lounge music for dinners. I do not know about the PM04 but the 05 is IMO
    well worth the money.
    You should really go to a store and listen for yorself and hear wich suetes your ears and wallet the best….

    Out of the three I’d go for the Fostex.

    May I ask why you want to go for monitor speakers if you just want them to listen to music ?

    Monitors are designed to produce a “flat” or “uncoloured” sound and are generally speaking more robust than home hi-fi speakers because they have to be able to cope with unmastered sound as you might get in a studio. Hence why they are specifically designed for audio mixing and mastering and why they’re generally more expensive.

    If you are just going to be listening to compressed commercial recordings and not doing any of the above then I would recommend that you save yourself the money and go for home hi-fi speakers instead.
