All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

Running a computer's outputs through a receiver or pre-amp/processor of a hi-fi stereo or home theater would likely beat any "normal" computer speakers.
I'll put in a vote for my Boston Acoustics BA7500s, though.

Hey there,
I'm using this at home fed from the porta corda (which is not even necessary) either with the PC or JVC CDP as source and they're more than sufficient for any applications whatsoever.

Specs: http://www.syrincs.de/new/m3bl.htm
Superb soundquality for the money (almost comparable to my DT250-250 I'd say). The satellites as well as the sub are top notch and the sound is very neutral and extended. The bass goes down to about 30 herz effortlessly even at wall-shaking volumes, mids and highs are always there in right proportions.
Really recommended for it's price (I payed ~550 euro).
I Hope I could help,
Roland

I took a hammer to a pair of these many moons ago and found a solitary "1 watt" full range driver inside the horrible plastic housing!
Get yourself a pair of magnetically shielded "Hi-Fi" speakers from a known manufacturer (B&W, Tannoy, Monitor Audio etc.) and arm yourself with a 20 W RMS amp...... they'll blow all these crappy plastic "computer speakers" into the bin where they belong!
And...... no need for a "sub woofer" Subwoofer in most of these computer speakers with a diameter of 6 inches... SUB what exactly??? Total joke.

my good computer's video card or something broke yesterday, so I guess I won't need speakers anytime soon!

if your able to read your screen, to navigate to this area, to post to this this thread, I'm inclined to say your card is not physically damaged. You might behaving a driver issue.

Aego
For something with a built in amp and everything ready to go, the Acoustic Energy Aego is a decent sounding system. It retails for about 399, so a little on the high side considering the computer as the source for the music. However, this unit can accept RCA line level inputs, so you can use a decent (non-portable) CD source if you choose... it won't play to deafening levels, but it does have a nice, clean sound with decent bass and decent imaging. This thing won't replace a high end system (although by the reviews it's received you would think so), but it's a good enough unit that you can live with it if you had to.

Hooking up a home theater system with your PC is definitely inadequate if you ask me. PC speakers are meant for near field sound production and home theater systems are exact opposite. If you're using a home theater system as your PC speaker, not only you'll get the inaccurate sound, but also will you destory the whole image (unless you're sitting 3 feets away from your monitor). IMHO, a decent PC speaker will sound better than home theater systems for computer use.
Just a friendly advice.
