looking for a decent set of short or 'horizontal' computer speakers...

[dustin//]

here is my current workspace set up:

(sorry it's so dark...the speakers are laying down in front of the larger moniter)

my speakers are ~10 years old and finally are giving out on my, so i'm looking for a set (2 speakers + subwoofer) to replace them.

the problem being, is i either need something really small/short, or something that is 'horizontal.' or i suppose i could get a normal set of speakers and run them laid down like i'm doing currently...though i'm not very pleased with the aesthetics of this solution.

any ideas?
looking to spend under $100, but would consider spending <$200 if they fit my solution better, sounded better, and looked better.

thanks.

These look to have small satellites:

There's also this, though it's kind of cheap. I have the 2.0 version and they're pretty good but not audiophile quality:

Perhaps the Logitech X230 speakers, and sit them on their sides?

thanks for all the links.

these look promising, though that sub is UGLY. 'satellites' do look small enough...might go with these!

any body else?

i actually REALLY like the looks of these, but am trying to avoid having to lay speakers down. maybe when i have more room i'll snag these.

Logitech LS21 system, i have them but i dont know how they compare to the X-230's.

They still perform and look good when turned horizontal, just tested myself.

those are pretty sharp looking. doubt it, but is the silver base able to be removed?

Unfortunately, no.
