TOAST-A-RIFIC!!!
I realize I'll probably get burned at the stake for this, but I don't care:

I have a set of Bose Companion 3 Series II speakers for my PC and they are far better than anything else I've ever owned, which includes a lovely 2.1 Logitech system, Klipsch Promedia 2.1, a Logitech 5.1 system (I forget the actual model name; it had a decoder box and was THX-certified), and a Creative Labs/Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 system. The subwoofer hits ridiculously hard for being as small as it is, and the satellites are very clear.

That being said, I believe they only sell the Companion 5 system now which is some stupid pseudo-surround with two satellites and a sub. The one I have is pure stereo. I like the volume control for it, too. The center part is touch-sensitive and you can touch it to mute, which is handy for when someone walks in the room and needs to talk to you.

My Logitech 5.1 system eventually lost a channel in the amp, the CL/CS 5.1 system blew voice coils in the front satellites, and the Klipsch system got crackly after a while which I guess was wiring or the volume control as others have mentioned. The Bose system had a slight issue with the control connection but I fixed that myself and it's been working great otherwise for three years.
