Swans M10 the best for its pricing. But when compared to other speakers, Swans M10 is merely average in terms of audio quality. Though the build quality of the speakers is really the best of its lot in that $90-$120 price range.

Pity TS budget is only $200. Wanted to recommend him studio monitors like Presonus E4.5 ($269) or M-Audio AV42 ($298) for music and movies specifically, but will burst his budget. :(

For me personally, I went for the E5 version instead. :)

I think non promo is $199. Take note I'm not an owner. Just read up some reviews and seems to be capable. Too bad cr4 no stock.

got excited and googled it. too bad i don't have enough space for these speakers. :s8:

music mostly.. movie once in a while, dont game

If mainly music, then it will be a waste to spend it on Swans M10 coz the M10 is geared more towards gaming rather than music. For good music reproduction, clarity of vocals and instruments are essential. So my advice is to get a pair of studio monitors since they would fit ur usage pattern the most. U can get the mackie speakers that are still within ur budget, or up ur budget by a bit to get the Presonus Eris E4.5.
