Computer Speakers (2.0/2.1 System, $150 Budget)

I've been looking around to replace some really old and crappy computer speakers, but there are too many choices!

On a friend's set up, there's a 2.0 system of the Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System, and while they aren't the best speakers, they are quite punchy, and definitely sound better than what I have.

I would use the computer speakers mainly for music, and rarely for vodcasts (I usually use headphones for this).

I have limited space, so I would only go for a 2.0 or 2.1 system, as I don't watch that many movies on the computer. It would be preferable for the power switch (if applicable) to be easily accessible.

What speakers would everyone here recommend I go for, if my budget was around $150 (the price of the Bose speakers my friend has).

    Swan m10 or Harmon Kardon Soundsticks. General consensus is to stay away from ripoff brands like bose

    I don't have a suggestion in your price range, but here are my dream desk speakers:

    Reviewers consistently say the sound made them think they were massive planar speakers… until they saw them.
    But they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.

    I hope you find the speakers that are perfect for you.
