Where will the sound come from? I mean, from the motherboard (mb)?
Some MB have terrible sound as they pick up electrical noises from the power source (psu).
Having a good MB, or an external audio (getting the audio from your computer via USB) makes a bigger difference than the speakers.

Any decent 4-6" monitors can do a wonderful job. I have a PreSonus 4.5" version connected to an USB audio interface &mdash; this works great with both Linux computers and Mac laptops.

hello,i'm a big fan of so called "near-field monitors", which have a decent sound if you tend to sit in front of them.most of them are active and there are a broad spectrum of options available ...idk. from cheap(er) behringer, alesis, mackie to name a few or the decade-old intermediately priced "standards" from yamaha (which i'm using) to other more pricier options ...if you want to spend some money / invest in quality combine them with a decent USB-audio solution + symmetric cables ... :))just my 0.02&euro;

I have a pair of Edifier monitors (R1280DB), they're a low priced Chinese brand, and surprisingly good for the price.
