Are they powered? Are they any good? Link?
My next upgrade is some good quality speakers.

They are powered and sound excellent. They only have XLR and 1/4" inputs so adapter cables are needed, about $20 or so. I had a pair of cables from one of our old SVHS editing systems that I used to hook them up to my PC.
They can be found online for about $300 for the pair. Alesis M1 Active MkII | Sweetwater.com Alesis M1 Active MK2 Left / right CH speakers
Alesis makes a few other small speakers suited for a PC, easy hookup, but I haven't heard them so I can't make any recommendations. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770K Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory 16GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 Graphics Card XFX HD6950 2GB EyeFinity Sound Card Logitech G35 & Sennheiser PC135 & VIA HD Monitor(s) Displays 23" HP 2310e, 23" Samsung B2230, 21.5" Viewsonic Screen Resolution 5760x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 and G13 Mouse Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse PSU Antec True Power New 650watt Case Cooler Master HAF-932 Cooling Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, 3x 230mm Fans, 2x120mm Fan Hard Drives 16TB of Storage

Do you have a sub with them? And what soundcard are they hooked up to?
They look good BTW, and I remember seeing something awhile back about Alesis speakers. Good company.

I don't have a sub and personally a sub isn't required unless you want that extra booooom.
I have them hooked to a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
Oh, I see that you are about 5-10 miles away from me as well, if you live in Hampton.
If you ever see me on the road, give me a honk, | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770K Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory 16GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 Graphics Card XFX HD6950 2GB EyeFinity Sound Card Logitech G35 & Sennheiser PC135 & VIA HD Monitor(s) Displays 23" HP 2310e, 23" Samsung B2230, 21.5" Viewsonic Screen Resolution 5760x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 and G13 Mouse Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse PSU Antec True Power New 650watt Case Cooler Master HAF-932 Cooling Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, 3x 230mm Fans, 2x120mm Fan Hard Drives 16TB of Storage
