I seem to be working my way down Cnet’s review of PC speakers. In my office, I have these;

which I’ve had for quite a long time and really like and I just got myself a set of these below to attach to the Media Center ( deliberately trying to avoid ending up with a big sub-woofer under my TV or going back to the 5.1 setup I’ve had in the past which takes over the whole lounge );

and, so far, they sound very nice ( I went for the 30W rather than the 40W ).
