Hey peeps,
 
I've been meaning to buy a set of speakers for my pc at home -- headphones aren't always the best option when you got guests, right?
 
I'm thinking of something like a 2 speaker system or 2.1. I've used the *cough* logitech Z5500 for a long time but I don't care much for surround sound anymore.. cables and all that. A decent 2 or 2.1 speaker system would do. I'm thinking of investing about 200 bucks, bit more, bit less. Would be so kind as to recommend a set?
 
Sidenote: I will be having a decent DAC to go with it and not just an onboard card, if that matters. Oh and, I live in Europe
 
Thank you direly for your time.

Cambridge Audio S30, I got them from amazon for 220$. If you can get a pair for around that price I'd really recommend getting them
 
 
Here's a thread on them and a quote from the OP;

This speaker is crazy good. In my continued quest to find a
real solid budget speaker - I bought these. They are neutral,
smooth and balanced, with a rich midrange. The sound stage
is big and wide. And, they do play below 80hz, to cross good
with a sub. I have never heard a woofer and tweeter play this
good together, at this price point. Nothing jumps out between
the woofer and tweeter at any time. They are solid for both,
music and movies. They made the HTD Level Three go to a new
home. And they will soon make either the NHT Classic Two or
Focal Chorus 705, go to a new home. All I can say is for me - I
have never owned or heard a speaker from $600 down, that I
enjoy any more than this $219 a pair speaker. I may find a way
to get these measured.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. These look awesome

Anyone else having another recommendation lads?

I was also thinking of bumping up the budget and consider the Dali Zensor 1 (they ship free which saves some money); http://www.amazon.com/DALI-ZENSOR-Bookshelf-Speaker-Black/dp/B0057X5KF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364945729&sr=8-1&keywords=dali+speaker

They would cost ~100 dollars more here in Denmark, but I'm unsure if the upgrade is worth the money investment.
