Good desktop speakers with S/PDIF?

Does anyone have any suggestions for some quality desktop speakers with digital (S/PDIF) input? One of my PCs has on-board sound, and I'd rather output the sound via digital. Looking for something comparable (or better than) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. I don't need 5.1.

Any thoughts?
 

Not sure about 2.1, but here's a 2.0 system with a digital input.
Behringer MS40
I'm planning to buy them myself.

I just ran mine to a previous home theater receiver I had. I got a set of Onkyo's that should have cost around $400.00 for $125 on clearance. Sound is excellent and sound fields are at the touch of a button.

What kind of budget are you thinking?

I'd like to keep it under $200, but would consider spending more if the speakers are really good.

[edit] Those Behringer monitors look really nice, FeuerFrei. I'll have to see if someplace in my area has them so I can give them a listen.
