M-Audio AV40's vs. Samson MediaOne 4A's

Hi.
I am looking at my first set of monitors. While I do want decent/non distorted playback, I mainly want these for just playing my music/iPhone, as I have some Sony Headphones for mixing..
I have some questions though:
What's the bass on these? I mainly make Trance/House, HipHop, and Dubstep. I will be able to get a SubWoofer in time, but I want bass to be rather hearable for the time being.
Do they distort at high levels?

Thanks for answering!

I have the av40's in my dorm, just for listening to music and not a whole lot else. I really don't like them. For a 4" woofer, they get decent bass I guess (with the bass switch engaged) and I was a bit surprised by how loud they can get. Bottom line: Don't expect much.

Ah.
From everything else I've heard, they have a good, clear sound..
And I think sonic state said they were the best speakers for under $200.
