If you dont really need surround sound I'd recommend www.audioengineusa.com/Audioengine-A2 for desktop speakers, incredible sound for the size :aok

Headphones are best all round then for the money :old:
Speakers seem a bit complicated after reading article :cry

I'd say both have their uses :)

I used to build speakers as a hobby so I've studied quite a lot about the subject.

those will give you a pretty decent sound.  I have their prior system it was good for 120 bucks.

now let them argue over which headset is better even though you didnt ask about it.

Spinnich uses it and I use the earlier model X-530 and they are both fine. His settings make them sound a bit weird but the quality is perfectly fine. Obviously they are no 'professional 5.1 extra boosting sound master of the gods....system' but they sound fine for any normal sensible human and work just fine for their price. Not sure how easy they are to find anymore, I know Logitech has since upgraded to the 'Z' line of speakers and it can make finding the 'X' line a little hard to find.
They are also durable in case that's a concern. I know I've dropped my surround speakers countless times from various heights (up to 5') and had no issue with sound loss.

I suggest you remove the 'audiophile' part from the title if you think Logitech and 120 bucks qualifies!  :t

I'll sell you my DBX soundfield1 set for 300 bucks. Two speakers and the controller with plenty of monstercable. You need at least 100 watts to drive them properly.

Monster cable?  No better than hotwired coat-hangers.  They also seem to be overly litigious, and evidently engage in false advertising too.
