I'm in the process of replacing an old monitor that had built-in speakers and I'm looking for a good set of standalone PC speakers. I want something that'll let me listen to music or watch videos without needing to wear headphones all the time. I'm not an audiophile, but I'd like to get something that sounds decent. My budget is around $150 at the absolute max. Any recommendations?

Are you considering a 2.1 speaker setup with a subwoofer for more bass, or do you want just a couple of regular speakers with good treble and midrange?
Check out the Edifier R1280T. They’re powered bookshelf speakers and sound pretty good for the price. Just make sure to tweak the EQ a bit after plugging them in to reduce any resonance.
I've heard those are a solid choice!
I'm leaning more towards just the two speakers.
