    I am happy with my current external setup in my office but always like to look for something better, sound and quality wise. At the moment have an older ALTEC Lansing ATP5 setup that is a few years old yet still can kick out the sound. Are the BOSE setups really worth it at higher decibels or does anyone have a recommendation? If I remember the current setup was around $150.
    I do listen to all types of music and some gaming.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
