    Hello!
    I'm looking for some speakers for my laptop. First of all I have to resign from any options including amplifiers etc., as I will be living in a college hall so the place will be very limited. Because of taking care of my limited space I will also have to resign from subwoofer, so only 2.0.

    I just want something audible (by audible I mean something like my headphones: Sennheiser MX500).

    Budget? Well, let's say that $200, maybe $250.

    I have seen (and found interesting):
    -Klipsch Promedia Ultra 2.0
    -Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II
    -BEHRINGER MS40
    -M-AUDIO Studiophile AV 40
    - Most interesting: Swan D1080MkII
    -Most interesting: Audioengine A2 Desktop Speakers

    I would be grateful if you could help me choose some speakers. Any opinions/advice highly appreciated.

    P.S. I listen mainly to jazz, classical/choir music, guitar/flamenco music.

    P.P.S. I am ready to buy 2.1 if they had much better satellites than 2.0. I'd just not use the subwoofer ;p.

    Best regards,
    Theriel

    I am using USB speaker Altec lansing TX1, 2.0, the quality build and sound not bad. There many reviews on this speaker already, just google it.
