I'm looking for a really good set of computer speakers. I'm willing to spend up to $500. Obviously, if I could find a set for less, that would be great. I've checked out the Bose Companion 5, and have seen mixed reviews about the simulated surround sound. I own a bose stereo, and I'm not very impressed. To me, the music always sounds distant and far too echoey. I don't know if this is the case with the companions. I've seen some great reviews for some of the logitech sets, and I know that there are a ton of very reputable speaker companies around. I was hoping that some of you might have a set that you are absolutely in love with. Surround sound isn't a necessity, but it would be nice. I want something that will have a nice balance in quality between music, games, and movies. Thanks!

I like them so much, I'm going to plug the Blue Sky EXO 2.1 again. Not really fair to call them "computer speakers" as they are really studio monitors and designed to provide accurate sound. They sell for about $350
