just don't forget to take your wallet when you go. they are kinda pricey. -
Honestly even the best computer speakers pale in comparison to even an entry level home theatre setup (provided you have a decent soundcard)

I prefer Logitech. I don't know what the series number my 5.1 analogs are because they are a few years old. BUT they sound very good.
However I do agree with poisondethray - if you intend to use your pc for mostly movies a dedicated home theater speaker setup with a real digital surround sound amplifier is the best way to go.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
These are very good for an $90 stereo setup:

You don't get extended bass out of little boxes like these but the sound is untainted, unlike most PC speakers. -
by the way they used to make notes about getting "magnetically shielded" speakers so as not to disturb the monitor.
Do they even make "unshieled" speakers anymore? Would that be a factor at all these days?Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
Go get a Home Theatre in a box kit. Beyond that best speakers can't be answered. Your ears do not hear the same as mine nor is your listening space the same as mine.
My space might be very lively or dead or inbetween. These will all effect you speaker choice.
Best anything is totally subjective not objective.
Best by price.
Best by quality
best by size
best by feature
Best how? -

I do use a 3 speaker system with a subwoofer for one of my computers. It's a no-name brand that works well enough. For my HTPC, I have a regular surround amp and large speakers. As mentioned, if you want to use the full audio capabilities of 5.1 AC3 audio, you really need a surround audio system with a decent amplifier and speakers that has enough controls and settings to tailor the output to your room. Some of the package deals from the 'Big Box' retailers do very well and go for a low price. But you want to listen to them and read any reviews available if you plan to spend any $$. There are a few computer speakers that do 5.1 fairly well, but a separate surround amp and speakers system may be cheaper. -

That was never a major factor unless you put your speakers right up against your CRT monitor. LCDs are immune and most CRT monitors have some shielding. But even with a CRT, 2 feet is probably enough distance. Considering that most TVs have built-in speakers, it's not a big issue.
I have a set of Altec Lansing VS3151's that I got a couple of years ago for around $100. They're not as good as the FX5051's for $250 but they sound good enough for this small room. I usually use the headphones anyway so as not to bother my two brothers whom I live with. When I lived alone, I ran two 15 foot monster cables from the PC to my surround receiver along with A/V cable from my ATI AIW to the surround receiver and the TV. -
I like the Logitech Z-5500's. Best "computer" speakers I've ever used.

Logitech, good quality sound:

If money is not an object, then you should totally invest yourself in bose speakers. I just put the head phones on at the mall and that thing took me to another planet. There's really nothing like it on the market. I feel like their quality is 20 years ahead of what we have today.
