Need some good, low profile PC speakers

[Cla55clown]

I have some space limitations on the desk because of my 23" monitor so I can't place conventional speakers to the sides of my monitor. I have to compromise and place them in front of the monitor so I need a low profile design like THESE .

The problem is, I want better sound quality than those and I want to spend in the $100 range. Anyone have some suggestions for low profile 2.1 speakers like these with a little better sound quality? I prefer a cleaner, crisper sound over more bass.

You can place them right behind the monitors also.

Try to find a set of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cambridge-Soundworks-computer-I-pod-/110819687157?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item19cd5e3af5 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cambridge-SoundWorks-PCWorks-Speaker-System-/280820653408?pt=PCA_Speakers&hash=item4162371d60

Some of the best 2.1 speakers ever made, and very cheap when they were new. The current models from them are 3-4 times the cost of the originals.

Would THIS model be something similar to the above on Ebay? They are $150 minus 25% for open box promo.

Yes, but I think for that much money they are over-priced. Look on Amazon or somewhere for them. Still good speakers.

After looking high and low, I found my solution by simply reading my monitor's user guide. Apparently, my 23" Dell will accommodate a soundbar that attaches to the bottom of the monitor. This is what I decided to go with based on price, reviews, and integration with my monitor and low profile requirements. Dell™ AX510PA Stereo SoundBar with power adapter . To supplement these, I'll get a good pair of Grado's or Sennheiser cans for the best audio quality.
