Well, for me the questions isn't what speakers you have but it is what sound card you have. And I seem to have chosen to go with a normal pci soundcard for this comp (I don't know why I did that but I did) so I didn't even bother getting excellent speakers, my harman kardon ones are just fine right now, and I believe the better quality are also going to sound similar. I also have a harman kardon audio deck, which I mainly use for listening to music and so on , so I don't really need a great speaker for my computer.
