I just bought studio monitors, the Adam audio a7x. They run balanced and unbalanced xlr and rca out, and sound really good on lossless stuff. It depends what you want, I wanted to hear a flat frequency response, not any sort of pre-designed emphasis of the lows or highs. I don't have experience with any of those systems, I do have a bose companion 5 system at university and have been pretty impressed with it, but again, it's not a flat freq response system, it's a consumer speaker and damn good at what it does. I hope that helps a little? Always listen before you buy, you know that, but sometimes it bears repeating especially when you see a good price online. Also, test it with different genres of music or the most often listened-to genre that you know you'll be playing on the speakers.

 Sound Sticks. I think they're up to version 3 now. They are a 2.1
 system and sound great and can handle playing quite loudly. I think
 they're around $150 U.S.

 Hi folks



 Looking for some high quality desktop speakers to use for listening
 to music.



 Let me state that movie and game sounds are completely irrelevant to
 me. What I am looking for is sound quality for listening to lossless
 files with desktop speakers.



 I have found 3 recommendations and I was wondering if anyone have
 any experience with one or more of them.



 The speakers are



 M-Audio Studiophile AV 40

 Creative gigaworks t40 and



 B&W mm1



 Yes I realize that they are kind of pricy. The B&W system is by far
 the most expensive but I like the idea of a built-in digital to audio
 converter.
