    I've been struggling with this for a couple days and I really can't find conclusive evidence on which speakers I should get.

    Right now, I'm thinking about
    JBL Creature II
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0001DQ5YG/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1195087992&sr=1-307
    Creative Inspire T3030
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000EDO4JG/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1195088020&sr=1-323
    Logitech x-230
    http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-2-Pi...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1190560717&sr=8-39

    I'm planning on using these speakers in a dorm room for my macbook pro (since the built-in speakers are really weak)

    Please do feel free to suggest other speakers that are 50 dollars or less :)

    Thanks in advance for helping out!

    The first one it will match your notebook and it has a huge sale on.

    I have the Logitech x-230 and it has a lot of bass. Don't know about the other two but if you want to match the notebook/laptop styles then do with the JBL Creature II as Weird Al said.

    I would recommend the X-230s. They offer terrific sound.

    You could find the x-530's for sale for under $50 every once in a while, perhaps look into that.

    for power I'd say the x-230s but for match in style and perhaps sound quality Id say the JBLs
