Klipsch has a long history and acclaimed reputation, and all though these are their low end speakers, they're top notch. Take a chance on these over the similarly priced Logitech speakers. If your a bass enthusiast, you'll love them, and they're plenty loud enough for anyone, or any computer.
They're not neccessarily what I'd consider audiophile like sounding (which if you are one, you already know of, or own a set of these speakers), which should only slightly concern those primarily using them for music, but that's what I use them for and they're more than fine, actually great (They handle 24 bit quality wonderful).
2.1 speakers aren't usually meant for audiophiles anyway (2.0), and there's only a very limited amount of top notch desktop speakers out there, and Klipsh's are as good as it gets for under $250. I actually can only think of one set of desktop speakers around the $200 range that I'd prefer over these, but they're 2.0 (and meant for music), so they of course have less bass considering there's no subwoofer.
Either way, they're excellent, you can't go wrong here and that's for whatever type of media you're using them for.
