My "ancient" Dell Altec Lansing A215 finally died after 8+ years, so I need to get a new set of speakers. I've been going through lots of forums (not just this one), and most people said to stay away from logitech.

 

I mainly use the speakers for gaming and movies. I don't have a lot of desktop space, so I would prefer small to mid sized speakers. My budget is around $120. I could stretch it to $150 if it's really worth it. I'm from Canada.

 

I had my eyes on these:

 

Edifier S330D - $110 (On sale) http://www.computers-canada.ca/store/products/1027006423/S330D/EDIFIER/

Bose Companion 2 Series III - $110

Creative Lab Gigaworks 2.0 Speakers (T40) - $110 (On sale right now) http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/creative-lab-creative-gigaworks-2-0-speakers-t40-51mf1615aa002/10144694.aspx

Any chance of converting you to use headphones? Or do your neighbors like your music taste :P ?

Thats so inconvenient.

Nope. 0% chance for me to get headphones.

 

I live in single house, so I don't think my neighbors can hear it even if I turn it up to max. lol

Could try to get a Klipsch Promedia 2.1

 

If only you had a bigger budget, would've recommended things like the Kanto Yumi/A5+, but I guess it may not fit on your desk.  A2+ are pretty small, but have some drawbacks to being small.  IMO 'computer speakers' are pretty piss poor at whatever price.

The Edifiers would be my choice. They make some good stuff. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
