Best sub-$100 speakers?

[Brian Link]

I have a PC which I'm using for audio work. I'd also like to pump my
music system through it (verrry limited space) and want to pick up
some okay speakers. My budget is pretty tight, though. Any ideas?
Mostly I'm mixing acoustic chamber music recordings. Thanks

I bought some logitech z640 for $65. It is a 5 piece system, great sound.

If you are on a limited budget, I would stick with a good set
of "2.1" speakers.

On that note, I would suggest something like the Altec Lansing VS4121.

I had a set of Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 speakers, that cost me about 50
bucks 4 years ago. I'm sure there are comparable ones that you can find for
much less than that today. If you want to stay well under $100, 2.1 is the
way to go. If you are willing to spend $100 for speakers, you can surely
get a nice set of 4.1, and possibly even 5.1 speakers...which, if you're
doing multi-channel audio stuff, I don't see how you can live without.
Besides, stereo is on the way out...everything's moving to surround sound.
Television is broadcast in surround sound now, SACDs, DVD-A, not to mention
pretty much any DVD movie...stereo is sooooooo 20th centruy, man.

I speaker system that I used for years for excellent audio listening is the
Cambridge Soundworks "Microworks". I paid $149 for it and thought it was a
steal! Well, it's now on sale for $89. I HIGHLY recommend it.
