I had been having the problem of noise in my audio coming from the pc caused by all the noise inside a pc case. It is onboard audio on a gigabyte p35-DS3L.
I thought about using a home theater receiver with a optical/coax connection and just thought it was too bulky. I already have two crt monitors, laser printer, wacom tablet, mouse, keyboard, etc on the desktop , really not much spare room.
I also got tired of the quality of some of the other pc speakers.
A friend suggest the Behringer MS20 speakers.
I was skeptical at first since they are only 20 watts.
After using them though I am simply amazed. They are more than loud enough and sound the best I have ever heard on a 2 speaker setup on a pc.
They are very solid speakers. The cases are heavy and not cheaply built. The right speaker houses the amplifier and controls. Treble, Bass, Line 1 Volume, Line 2 volume, Headphone, power button. On the back you have optical/coax inputs, line inputs rca, line inputs 1/8" jack. You can play sound through the digital ports and the analog ports at the same time and mix them with the front volume control. No wall wart adapter , just a ordinary AC cord. They are also shielded so you can place them near a monitor without problems.
The built in dac is 24bit/192khz and sounds very clear.
Low and High sounds great on them, really impressed.

If 20 watts isn't enough for you , they have a 40 watt version.
I can see me keeping these in my collection a long time. You can use them with virtually anything from a pc to a dvd player.
