PC Speaker suggestions

[VR46]

Another area I'm not clued up on

Need new speakers for the PC, will be used for some music listening, program watching and the odd bit of gaming.

Looking to spend about forty maybe fifty pound tops.

Take it something like these sound pretty poor;

I've got these ones I've been really impressed with them, the speakers are surprisingly large compared to most PC speakers I've seen (the pictures don't give you any decent indication of their size).The sound they give is very cohesive, produces good stereo effects and a natural 'centre channel' when the 2 combine.

I paid £60 for them 18 months ago

unrelated to the speakers:
I did notice a huge drop in the quality of my PCs sound quality when my sound blaster died and I had to switch back to onboard sound.

There may well be better alternatives, but for £20 you can't go far wrong (you could spend the other £20-30 on a good sound card should you not have one)

Thanks for that, ordered them a minute ago.
