PC Speakers Recommendations

[Bieffe]

Recently my BOSE companion 3 died. So I'm looking around for a new set. Most likely will be a 2.1 so the wires wont get too messy.

But nowdays nobody seems to be taking abt speakers...all using headphones?

So would be great anyone can recommend me a set? With a sub and good bass and below $100+ best.

Thanks guys. But it seems the usual suspects are no longer recommended? Logitech, Creative or Altec if still around.
I'm bias the M10 now but no grills...alittle dangerous.
Do keep some the recommendations coming.

Logitech Z623
Creative T3(not sure if knob problem is still there)

I'll go with audio brands rather than computer accessories brand for speakers. Usually better sound quality.

T3 is a darn good set. But yes.. knob prob still there!
So I decided to buy a replacement knob for $15, wire the speaker power through a relay which is connected to my PC and control volume via my extUSB soundcard.

@Bieffe
How long did your BOSE last?

Up this recommendation.
But you need to have desk space as the whole set sounds better at ear level.

Whoa.. those were the times when Altec speakers were heavy. Now they're all light.
I used to own ACS45. Lasted long as well!

I still have the ACS45 black color. But left inside storeroom to collect dust.

yah those were the days that their quality is 2nd to none. Made of heavy wood and premium quality materials.

Nowadays I look at the speakers... Sigh...

Singapore median household income 2015: $8,666

In 1998, it is $3,692

In 1998, ACS 45 costs $85

So to compare Apple with Apple, calculate what price of speaker you should be buying in 2015, and see whether quality has improved or dropped.
