Best 2.0 Computer Speaker Setup?

[IceDigger]

What is the best 2.0 speaker setup for the pc?

Currently I have the Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II speakers. Is there anything else better out there?

Current Setup

Oh yea, I have the Creative Sound Blaster Titanium X-Fi sound card.

If you are looking for a form factor similar to the T40 II. Not much better than the T40 II. But the best in this form factor.

Take a look at the audioengine A2. they punch well above their weight/size/cost when it comes to small desktop speakers

If you have the room to upsize, your best bet would be the audioengine A5 or emotiva airmotivs (4, 5 or 6), or similar active studio monitors.

Keep in mind 2.0 bookshelf sized systems will almost never get below 40-50hz +-3db, which matters if you like bass heavy effects and music.

I think the B&W MM-1 is better in the slim form factor category.

Im just going to throw these out there. Haven't listened to them but they cant be terrible. http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Tech-USA-ET-AR604H-BR-Professional/dp/B009IBXUNG
I just want to see some more reviews on them.

The best I have found that fit on my desktop are the discontinued Snell CR7 (I bought them used on eBay). These are tall, but fairly slim (18 x 5.75 x 7.5). Without the grills they sound very very nice! I am using them with EM-U 0404 USB (usb DAC) and Emotiva a-100 amp. I also have a Velodyne Optimum 8 subwoofer, but they are fine without the sub (can handle some low end boost).

While I haven't tried them, the Kef x300a mention above should be quite nice.

For less money, and also mentioned above...
Emotiva Pro airmotivs
Audioengine 5+
