Should a stereo system be able to replace computer speakers?

A good stereo system will ALWAYS beat those POS speaker sets creative and logitech push. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

Altec Lansing, Creative (cambridge), Logitech, and even the Bose/Boston acoustics solutions are NOTHING compared to their actual stereo systems.

I'm just running the SPDIF output of my MOTU 828 to a Denon DAP-2500A digital preamp, Muse 150 monoblocks, and a pair of IRS Betas. I think it sounds just fine, though I admit that I haven't tried comparing it to a set of dedicated computer speakers.

Granted, I only get stereo + subwoofer, but most of what I'm editing is straight stereo, and I actually want an absolute minimum of processing/filtering to be done on the audio--no simulated surround, added reverb, etc., because I want to know how the finished audio will sound when it's played on a standalone audio or video system.
 
well, about the 'redundant feature part', often times I want to play CDs without turning on the computer and waiting for it to boot up, nor I want to pop the CD tray out whenever I want to change CDs.
