Go Active. See entry in Amazon for reviews for the following.

Logitech X 230 - 2.1-channel PC multimedia speaker system - 32 Watt
(Total) £30.64 inc free shipping from Dell.

"Crank up the audio on your PC with this 2.1 speaker system and enjoy
clean, crisp, consistent sound from your games, music, and more. The
Logitech X-230's high-tech subwoofer adjusts itself dynamically to
deliver distortion-free bass. And the two wall-mountable satellite
speakers use Logitech's patented FDD2 technology to eliminate the uneven
sound response created by conventional dual-driver designs. The result:
a clear, uniform sound field without the "hot spots" and inconsistency
of other dual-driver satellites."

/me, looks around and legs it....

Interesting, but I'm willing to bet they sound crap on speech. They will
have been 'optimised' for an 'exciting' sound on games etc.
