Best Computer Speakers


I spend a lot of time at my computer for business purposes. I've started researching economical but satisfying speakers for my desktop through which I can enjoy streaming music. I've got Amarra sQ and HiFi. I'm thinking perhaps a pair of good powered speakers might be a perfectly good way to go.

I have read a little about Audioengine A2+ speakers. They look quite promising and may be perfect for my needs. Strictly nearfield listening.

Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.

Thank you.

Check out an interesting group buying web site called "Massdrop". They seem to cater to techies and computer sound systems. They even have video reviews of the various near field speakers they have worked with "sold".
I have used memory foam remnant blocks to dampen my preamp stand. The store sold furniture cloth, coverings and repair materials.
How much does the B &W  A 7 cost?  Can you use non Apple gear to control it? 
The Kefs seem to be well engineered but I didn't see the price on that one either.  They both look like they cost something? 
The 'Mini Maggies'  are bigger but look like the business. How much real power do you think you need to drive them right?
Finally I have no idea why I was writing about damping materials and the like..
