(You have to share!) aka. Which speakers do you use when others are around?

Just wondering if y'all have favorite 'puter speakers for those times when friends insist on finding out what's jammin' in your phones.

I use a klipsch promedia 5.1 setup. (original, not the new version)

ya... my speaker setup is dismal compared to my headphones but oh well. I like headphones more.

I currently use a pair of NHT Pro A-10 powered monitors with a diy dual 10" sub but I should have my new diy speakers with crappy paint job finished tomorrow or the day after.

Planar Media 14. Sounds decent, detailed, slightly bright, good bass.

VIFA TLSK F6 Clones

and
DSE 8" sub

Comprehensively blows most setups up to AUS$900 out of the water.

I am pretty happy with my Swan M-200's, with a SVS PB2-ISD subwoofer to fill in the low ends. Very overkill for the source I use for speaker listening though - M-Audio Revolution 7.1. I also use FPS-200 Series flat panel speakers when I want to listen to classical. The Swans are great for nearly everything but classical, I would call them latent and confused when it comes to imaging an entire symphony. I intend to eventually switch to Event 2020bas V2 when I get around to replacing my Revolution with something better. As it stands, that's all my Revolution does -- plays music for friends, or amuses them with the earthquakes my subwoofer causes when someone plays a 3D game or listens to some rap.

I normally use two bridged rotels (RB970bx) to power my NHT superzeros and their unpowered sub (made in the early nineties). I recently got two kittens, so the stereo had to go to the closet. I picked up a refurbished set of MicroWorks from Cambridge SoundWorks for $25 (shipping included!) to carry me over. If only I'd never heard the NHT's... (I'd be a richer man),
