That looks similar to the Edirol MA-10D mini-monitors--the Edirols look much nicer. As far as a set of good all-around speakers, the sound you'll get will be anemic as far as bass goes.
Edirol actually has a good variety of selection in their mini monitor line, but I'd suggest saving up another $75 (based on Froogle search) and going for the MA-20D speakers--they have twice the power and a larger woofer. The woofer's not a lot bigger, but will make a difference since you're not going with a subwoofer. As a compromise, there is a new model which sits in-between the 10 and 20, the MA-15D; it has some kind of bass-enhancer circuit, but those can only do so much (and usually distort the sound).
It's up to you, but I figure that aesthetically the Edirols stand out, they seem to have a good reputation, and there are some positive reviews online which you can probably dig up on your own rather fast...
Happy hunting and good luck!
