Creative makes some very good value for money speakers. I have used their Inspire 5.1 set for a few years then went for stereo set only once 5.1 setup became too problematic for space / family reasons. Sure there are better speakers that would cost you more, but there are plenty of much worse speakers that would also cost you more. So keep in mind price is not your best advisor. Best value is usually hidden out of sight
Some options for you:
2.1 set - $99 - I guess you pay exta 20 bucks for a slim woofer compared to the next set below
I-Trigue 3000
2.1 set - $79 -
I-Trigue 3330
2.1 set - $49 - two small speakers have both mid range driver and a twitter, something of a rarity in this price and it gives better accuracy in mid and upper frequencies -
Inspire T3100 - This is my first recommendation for you, unless you want slim looks - then see two sets above.
2.1 set - $29 - no frills 2.1 set
Creative A200
2.0 set - $49
T10
2.0 set - $99
Gigaworks T20 - if you want to get the best value out of 100 bucks this set it one to get, using it myself at the moment for skype and music from PC - this is my second recommendation for you - if you do not want the woofer. Believe me these small speakers deliver very nice bass given the dimensions.
