Computer Speakers Under $200?

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.

I have and enjoy the Swan M200 MkI (used $150), the MK II is $300 at Audio insider (link below). Looks to me like they list the M10, as well. John
