Well, I don't know who is selling what these days, but I really like what I have:

Boston Acoustic Digital BA7500.

It's a 4.1 system, but you don't need to even hook up the rear speakers.  In fact, mine are silent (about 95% of the time) unless I am watching a movie on my PC.

Sound quality on these is superb, for computer speakers anyway. :)

I bought them 2 or 3 years ago, so I doubt these are still made, but Boston Acoustic, in general, can be trusted.

i used to use creative itrigue's 2.1 speakers which were good for the money (cool silverish grey also) ($130). Klipsch do very very nice pc speakers (up to 5.1) but they cost more ($400). but if you want the best money can buy you would do better buying an external amplifier and connecting MC to it digitally (optical toslink or coaxial) and investing in a normal set of stereo speakers (i use JBL towers now).

also why are you limited to stereo? you know you can pump stereo out across more speakers. i currently have 5.1 and use 6-channel stereo mode on the amp which is great (i then switch to something more focussed when im sitting by the TV).

In terms of bang for the buck, hard to beat the Yamaha YST-MS50 2.1s if on sale, they usually sells for $110-$150, but I got a couple sets from buy.com a while back for around $60 (buy.com doesn't have any right now).

I use Videologic Sirocco Pro - bought a few years ago at hideous expense but superb sound. Almost up to good near field monitor standard. Don't think they're made now sadly. I suspect they were too pricey to sell.
