I need to throw another recommendation for the audioengine A2s out there. They're not just good for computer use either. My fiancé and I were looking for a small pair of powered speakers to put in the kitchen so we could listen to music while cooking or during parties.

We looked at a few different options, but the A2s were definitely the best bang for the buck. I was quite surprised at how well they fill a smallish room and how much bass they could put out. Less than a dedicated sub of course, but far more than no bass, which is what I was expecting from those tiny little cones.

The only down side is the lack of any mounting hardware. I had to get some brackets custom made for them but even including that cost, I still feel that the A2s were the best value for the money. The dual inputs are nice too, with the RCA and quarter inch jack means we can either pipe music from the main system in the living room or use an ipod. There's no selector switch on the speakers, but as long as we're only using one or the other, it's not a problem.

Here's a pic:
