I am looking to get some computer speakers as a christmas gift. I don't know much about active speakers so would like to know what is good for no more than the £60-70 point.
 
they can be a 2.1 system or just a pair.

Cheers for any advice.

Thanks for the reply.. can anyone comment on how they would compare with M-Audio AV40's?

They cost more though, these are better for the £100 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edifier-Professional-low-noise-high-fidelity-amplifier/dp/B003TWN6M0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323965430&sr=8-1 , these do sound better than the m-audios.

Would you say something like this would be a better all rounder:

They will be using them for music, movies and games, or would you stick to 2.0 speakers?

Personally I would also go with 2.1 because the low end extension is important to me,your definatly need the extra low-end for movies and games.

Hi there, I need to purchase these speakers today and was just having a thought.. How would say, they active Edifier's compare to a budget hi-fi set of around £100? Thanks for any info.

Also looking at these microlab's

Anyone heard them?

EDIT: Thanks for the help, ended up buying the Microlabs SOLO6C.. had a 6" woofer, remote and some decent reviews, seemed a good deal.
