Best speakers for less than $200 are the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 in my opinion. They are better than most speakers that cost more than $200, and are on sale at BestBuy for less than $150. They are my current setup, and are simply amazing, and are also THX certified. They pack a great punch, and play all sorts of media very clearly. Above $250, I would recommend something else, but for below $250, this is it.
