hey again still looking, eh?
do you mean a 2 speakers with subwoofer powered set up? (aka 2.1 powered speakers)
I think most monitor type 2.1 or 2.0 speaker systems are designed for near-field listening so if you have *different* needs then you might want to clarify.
In the past I mentioned my entry level mediadesk by blue sky and I like them using my computer as a source. They are very clean and accurate. like you said there are lots of options.
