My daughter's speakers blew out last night. She uses them primarily to listen to ITunes and YouTube, with an occasional game thrown in. I'm looking for a replacement set - not more than $150 but preferably less. I'm interested in suggestions for the best quality set I can get in my price range.

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1

They rock like a SOB. Hope she (and you) likes it loud. :)

Altec Lansing has my vote, as they're somewhat inexpensive but at the same time they're not cheap.
Complexity of incoherent design.

I have a set of Logitech R20 speakers and they are plenty loud for me

I'm a bit of an audiophile.... the Klipsch speakers will be, by notable margin, your best bet :).

Second hand near field reference monitors (mag shielded) is what I recommend. All the so called computer ones are junkish IMHO.
