Hi. I need new speakers for my room / dorm room. I will be living with other people all the time so I don't think I need crazy bass, although when I'm by myself I would like to turn it up.

With my speakers, I would mostly be listening to music. I'm not a hardcore audiophile but I consider myself a casual one (I can tell the difference between different bitrates.) My main thing is I don't want songs to sound stiff like you see with speakers in the $50 range.

These are my choices so far. Please tell me which one I should buy. Thanks.

- Logitech Z2300*
- M-Audio AV40*
- AudioEngine 2
- Creative Gigaworks T3
- Klipsch Promedia 2.1
- Altec Lansing SoundSticks

The ones in stars I am strongly looking at because they are under $200 in Canada. These are some I've looked at in reviews but not sure if I want:

- Altec Lansing Expressionist Bass FX3022

Also found this at local store that I've never seen in reviews:
Logitech (980-000085) Z Cinema Advanced 180 watts RMS 2.1 Surround Sound System -

Thanks in advance for your help!

The M-Audio speakers look the most like real speakers, and I know M-Audio makes pretty good computer/pro audio stuff, although I've never listened to their speakers personally. Those would be my choice.
