I am a high school student and I am looking for a low priced 2.1 setup for my room, and for when people come over. Under $200 would be nice, and I will be hooking them up to my laptop through an Asus Xonar U3. I will be listening to some rock music and electronica, so some decent bass would be nice, and will be purchasing them on singaporean ebay. I currently own the grado sr60i headphones, and I really like the sound signature if that is any indication... If you are recommending passive speakers, I will probably just hook them up to the Lepai TA2020, since it seems to be a reasonably priced amplifier, and I don't need them to be pumped up that loudly...
I do have some extra cash to spend, but keep in mind that I want to keep this good bang for the buck. I can get a better USB DAC if it is worth while and I can also go for a 2 bookshelf + sub setup, but I believe the TA2020 is only a T-amp and will not support a sub, however if you can make an affordable recommendation, I will try and jump on it.
