Computer Speakers Under $200?

Thanks for the recommendation! Those do seem like they would sound amazing and perhaps in a few years, that's what I'll end up using...but currently, that's out of my budget and am looking for something in the sub $200 range used or new.

Hi, I'm using Audio Engine2, a powered pair of mini-monitors with exceptional sound. No subwoofer, but they fall into your price range. Check out the review on them from a couple of months ago in Stereophile.

IMHO, getting the mid-range as accurate as possible is the foremost trait to look for in any low cost speaker. As such, I second AudioEngine A2's.

Based on Sterophile's review, plus a friend's experiences with them, the A2's would be my choice.

Hi all,

I first used Roland monitors and then went to M-Audio monitors for my speakers. While I'm not a basshead, the dearth of significant bass started to really bother me over time. Overall though, if I were to have bought a 2.0 system, the A2's would have been the ones.

I've heard some positive reviews of the Swans M10's, but I don't think they're better than the setup I already mentioned.

The Swans were ~$300 IIRC and they have been out of production for years.
