Great Sounding Monsoon MH-505 Flat Panel 6 Piece 5.1 Speaker System, $123 delivered.

[PitViper]

Monsoon is the premium sound system in select new cars and trucks from Volkswagen, Buick, AM General (Hummer), Pontiac, and Chevrolet. They also make a great set of computer speakers that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I haven’t seen these speakers delivered for less money anywhere. $115 + $8 shipping. Shipping is very reasonable for such a large heavy box. And no rebates (or sales tax) to deal with.

I have the PLANAR 9 2.1 setup from them, and they sound great. The only thing that sucks about them is the ****ty plastic stands the satellites sit on. They used to be metal.
