It's made by a company called Skullduggery...I got it on Amazon. The skulls are very realistic, I got mine mainly as a model for drawings. Not very practical as a headphone stand but I couldn't find any banana hangers that looked sinister.

Well i don't notice any difference with them on top or off...they're computer speakers, and I know that they usually shield those...my big pioneers def. aren't going on top of my computer monitor .

Come on people more pics

It doesn't help that the monitor is right between the two speakers. The soundstage depth and imaging accuracy really suffer with the monitor in the middle due to unwanted reflections. Even though Logitech speakers aren't that great, most people don't set it up properly and fail to realise their full potential.

The way I've got my Z2300 set up is not ideal either, but I have unavoidable limitations.

so how should I have them setup?...When I use them I have the speakers in front of the monitors, but then after I usually push them back.

I would put the front speakers right up against the edge of the table, a bit further apart so that the focus point is just behind your listening position (think equilateral triangle). Toe them in slightly towards your ears and you should have pretty acceptable soundstaging. Cover the screen with a porous, sound-absorbing material such foam or a thick scarf to alleviate the stray reflections. It's preferable that the surface of the material is uneven too. If possible I would disable the center and surround channels. Of course, this is only ideal for listening to music.

WB looks really off

Those are Altec Lansing speakers right? I think my friend has the same and they sound decent. They are extremely large for consumer-grade computer speakers though.

whats a really easy DIY headphone stand I could make? right now I have my headphones hanging from one of the knobs on my dresser.

well i've only been using my pioneers for music...I just need to get a reciever so i can put it on top of my computer desk (to the right of the monitor and the shelfs will go on top, then I'm gonna put my pioneers on each side of the computer desk...I'll post pics when all is done....i'd say ~2 months

Heres most of my rig, and DIY headphone stand, if you want a very nice looking, cheap stand for under $20.00. All I had to do was shorten the post by a few inches, drill holes in the top and base, then stain/lacquer. I scored the SX-434 yesterday for $15. Looks and sounds great.

Yeah they're the Altec Lansing mx5021s, I got quite a good price on them. They're spitty above moderate volumes, and have a pretty hollow sound sig (really high xover to the sub) but once you EQ them they're pretty decent for music/ movies.
I am planning on replacing them quite soon though, with some good studio monitors once I get a GS-1.
