I have a decent system and sound card now. I get great sound through my Logitech headset but I hate having headphones on for too long as it hurts my ears. I need to get some speakers now that I have my set up in my own office - what do you suggest for a computer?

My computer speakers at home are Lacie Sound 2. It cost me a mere $136 and I'm very satisfied with it. It looks and sounds expensive. The bass doesn't sound silly and flabby like how I've experienced the bass from PC speakers to sound like. In fact it booms with just enough intensity, not too much, just enough to get my groove on. The speakers sound very balanced, crystal clear and I love spending countless hours with all my favorite tracks playing through it.
I think nowadays you can get pretty worthy PC speakers at more affordable prices, but I guess it all depends on what you're using them for and how much you're willing to fork out for them.
For the higher range products in the market, I was really attracted to B&W MM-1's sound when I saw and heard it playing at one of the stores in my area. It 'punched' me, literally. I felt out of breath. It is small too, I never expected the punchy sounds I was hearing came from this dwarf. Soon!
The lunatics are in the hall.

Strictly speaking, anything with a woofer in each channel.
It depends on how important the presentation of the music is to you. There has got to be an active set of speakers out there that can easily fit to work with an 1/8th inch adapter which is usually the output of a PC.

Whatever you do, absolutely do not consider Bose Companion II speakers. My mother used to work for the company and doesn't know any better. They are the worst speakers I have ever heard. A couple weeks back when my speakers were in storage, I borrowed them so my nephew and I could sing. Awful! They try to compensate for the loudness of the mix in a weird way (like it will attenuate bass to match the highs) and they add unnatural phasey harmonics on the bass frequencies.
Bose is garbage, plain and simple. I don't know how anyone with even a slight understanding of good sound could consider that brand anything but overpriced dime store garbage.
Their sister company JBL is still some of the best stuff made.
