Rather than re-invent the wheel here’s a post I put on ClanMage‘s boards the other day looking for some advice:
I know we got at at least a few hifi wizards around this joint so I thought I’d get a few opinions.

I’m big into digital music, I really feel its the future of music. As I was organizing and weeding out my current MP3 collection (down to 15 GBs from 21, all 224+ kbps full albums, mostly my own rips) I realized.. my computer speakers kinda suck considering how much music I listen to on them.

Heck I paid easily 20 times more on all the components of the stereo in the living room and the only time I listen to it is when I’m watching DVDs/watching TV.

So I’m on a quest for a better set of computer speakers.
You’ll notice only one 4 channel system in this list since the primary use of the speakers will be music not games.

These are the front runners so far:

Polk Audio AMR 150

Bose Companion 3
Bose’s site sucks so you’ll have to surf to them.

Cambridge Soundworks Megaworks 210D

Klipsch Promedia 2.1

Swan M200 (or possibly the M20s with the sub)

Any other ideas and/or/feedback anyone?
The current budget is trying to stay below $250, although I may go over that.
