Re: posts here on speakers are getting a bit stale..

Few of the plastic, powered computer speakers available are intended to play tunes in a large room. Get some second-hand monitors, an inexpensive sub, an old integrated amp or receiver and you're done.

This is essentially the configuation I use on all my computer systems these days. The setup I have in my home office is particularly nice - a separate power amp (placed off in an equipment rack with my computer) and a Channel Island Audio passive pre on the desk. Makes volume adjustment via the passive very handy. My setup at work has an integrated amp, but it's located on a bookshelf off to the side, so volume adjustment isn't nearly as convenient.
