I generally use headphones when I am at my computer because I live in a condominium complex and my neighbors pound on the ceiling if my cat farts too loud. I do, however, have the need for some speakers every once in a while; usually when friends are over. As the speakers will only be used occasionally, I am hoping not to drop more than about $100 on the setup. The speakers would need to be self powered. I know it is a bit absurd, especially among audiophiles, but I would like something that would compliment the minimalist look of my desk, if at all possible. That being said, if that is not possible, I'll take the ugliest speakers imaginable and be happy as long as they sound good. I would prefer to have a 2.0 setup, as I won't be able to use the subwoofer anyways. I have been eyeballing the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III, as they are being sold directly from Harman Kardon on eBay for $99 shipped factory refurb, full warranty. I am assuming these speakers look better than they sound, but I really do like the aesthetic of them and from what I have read, the sound is passable. Barring that, I really like the look of natural wood, such as the Audioengine P4. I almost feel dirty being concerned with aesthetics when it comes to this, but it never hurts to ask. Soooo...can anybody suggest a set of speakers that may fit my tall order?
Here are some pictures of my desk to give an idea of where the speakers would be sitting:
