"I was going to suggest these but as you mentioned in your original post you did not want a sub woofer, I didn't.

At the time, I think the cheapest price I'd seen them in store was about £60.

I bought a brand new pair of JBL Creature II's on eBay last July for £41 and can recommend them."

I've found a second-hand pair on eBay for £35, postage included. The subwoofer is a compromise I'm sure I can live with.

Decided on the JBL Creatures but looking for a second hand pair. Keep getting outbid on eBay and looking via gumtree.com.

Heard them in Micro Anvika and they sounded good for bass and had good treble/midrange.

Looking at Logitech and Creative on eBay.

May buy a pair of Creative T20s from Argos for £68, try 'em then take 'em back and search for a second-hand pair....!

I'm by no means an expert but a friend of mine had these and they sounded quite impressive.

I have often marvelled at how surprisingly good the Logitech range of speakers can sound. And most of them hardly cost the earth. Worth a look IMO.

Hanging in the air? On string? What a bizarre idea.

2 chains, I recall.

Move your desk out a bit and put the speaker behind on the floor. I once saw someones setup that had it hanging from the ceiling.

So in a typical home set up, where do you put a subwoofer?

I've got my desk against a wall, so putting one on the floor in the middle means I'd end up kicking the thing.

Have a look at the Creative Gigaworks range as well as those in the Paradigm range. Used them both and they work well. Get the option with the 8 channel amp and seperate bass and sub woofers and you wont go wrong.

As you're asking, Bercow.

Unlike audio speakers, Martin mumbled and had no clarity.

Excellent come back, btw!
