After researching many computer speakers, including Bose Companion 2 for $99 and the $199 30-watt Audioengine A2, I opted for the $120 20-watt-per speaker M-Audio Studiophile AV40 dual speaker system. For this amount of watts, the $120 with free shipping on Amazon seemed reasonable. I was tired of the compromised mediocre performance on my 9 watt of my $50 Creative Labs I-Trigue 2200 speakers. As soon as I receive the M-Audio speakers in a week or so, I will report my impressions.
Update: I just hooked them up, an easy task, which took ten minutes. The sound is great indeed, but the 20 watts may be too many for my ears as the computer speakers are only a couple feet from my head. I may have to move them into the living room, hook up to TV and iPod. Bottom-line: They're well worth the $120. We're talking a huge, beautiful, highly-detailed sound.
