any decent powered speakers?

I'm thinking of something for the kitchen. High fidelity is not required, as this will be mated to a Soundblaster wireless music receiver and will be playing mp3s over our wireless network. But I would like something better than most computer speaker systems. Anything like this available?

By far, the best sounding powered speaker I've ever heard is the Mackie HR824 Powered Studio Monitor. Ran across them in several studios --
they are both incredibly accurate and incredibly musical. They are actually
bi-amped! They are bookshelf type speakers, but they have two separate amps on them. They can be used nearfield or if you spread them and sit back, they throw a wide three dimensional image. I could not believe all of the sound coming out of these things! Hey -- also -- can you explain your set-up? Sounds intriguing.
