Computer Speakers - $200 -$300 price range

Definitely Audioengine. I've owned the Klipsch Pro-media and Audioengine A2's. The Pro-media has a sub, so you get the low end, but the satellites are harsh and thin sounding and it's hard to get a cohesive sound across the whole spectrum.

The A2's are much more refined and natural sounding and actually sound like music instead of computer speakers. Add a used Energy ESW-8 and you'll still be under $300 (I got one on Agon for $75), and have a system MUCH better than the Klipsch.

I vote for the AudioEngine A5's. Surprisingly musical for the size and price.

I would second the A2s!

I would hold out for the Magnepans computer speakers
when they are ready
They should put the hurt on all of the above.

I have Swan M200s, which I enjoy, and would recommend. They have been updated, and the new model costs a bit more, but I suspect you could come in under 300, esp. if used. John
