any GOOD speakers with a subwoofer will probably need external power...

The real audophiles are nice and understands what is possible for the human ears and then there are the f*** up ones that thinks 1k usb cable can make your sound better....

I would recomend:

Fluance SX6-BK (a sub will help them a lot)

Pioneer SP-BS22-LR ( warm sounding)

Micca MB42X

JBL Loft 40

I don't know them and I cant really find anything on them, but what I would say that they look like the bass is not that great since the bass(mid speakers is on the smaller side.

My 3" speakers have surprisingly punchy bass, but generally bigger is better.
