looking for a good set of speakers for my macbook

[Semidevil]

so my macbook air is my primary computer. I'm looking into a getting a set of speakers. I dont play games, and I dont watch movies. This is mainly for music, while I"m writing papers, and browsing the net.

Ideally, I would like to get a set of 5.1, to get that surround sound feel, and it would be even better if there were ones with bluetooth, so I can just place it how I like without cords restrictions. However, I could not find any online. Do bluetooth 5.1 computer speakers exist? I know there are a few with 2 speakers, but if it is just 2, there is no point for me to go bluetooth.

any suggestions on those?

Not a hadrcore audiophile, but I would like something decent. price range up to $75, but can push to $100 if absolutely worth it.

5.1 for music is useless. Spend your money on an awesome stereo setup. You'll be much happier

Damn, outsourcing has really lowered people's expectations. I remember in the mid 90s "something decent" was $250-300.

How much room do you have? I say two bookshelf speakers:
Polk Audio Monitor 30 Series II on sale: $80
Lepai Tripath TA2020 Class-T amp: $21

$1 over budget.

something decent is still in the 250-300 range but people dont care.

Even then that's for two speakers. Right?

Im not thinking decent until you are talking 150 per speaker and you are still making sacrifices.

let me say though for pc audio I do believe the best sound will come from near field monitors. They are made for 1 listener.

But at home im still rocking a couple dell speakers even though i have some event 20/20bas sitting above them. People dont care because it really doesnt matter for the pc gaming thing.

I do my serious listening of music at my studio with spring traps at 50hz and lots of treatment.

Are the speakers the best there? no. But they are still good.
