Decent desktop speakers <$150 CAD?

I've been completely satisfied with just using my HD 598s for the most part, but lately I've been looking at purchasing some decent speakers for my desktop (I know for a fact that some audio prick is going to flame me for using "decent" to describe sub-$150 speakers, but whatever). Over-ears are just took bulky and annoying sometimes.

 

I would definitely prefer a 2.0 setup, since I won't have to deal with the stupid subwoofer and all, but 2.1s are fine as well. Nothing beyond that, please. Would also prefer to stay under $100 if possible. Thanks!

IMO, the $20 Logitech Z200 gets the job done with flying colors. The only criticism I have is the slightly boomy bass. Otherwise, the mids and highs are between "decent" and "good". They won't have the level of detail of your headphones, but they'll be "close enough".
