M-Audio Studiophile LX4 2.1 Professional Studio Monitor Speaker
 

M-Audio set out to make an affordable, all-in-one sound solution for the home studio user, who also likes to watch movies. With the LX-4, I think they reached their goal. While not cheap ($350 MSRP for the 2.1 set, and an additional $200 for the surround expander kit), the sound they produce well makes up for the price. And, while they're lacking in some amenities, such as a control pod, what you get in return is pristine sound reproduction.
