How well does the Lepai + Dayton B652 setup compare to something a bit more expensive like the Audioengine A2s or the Polk Monitor30 Series II's that have also been mentioned in this thread? I currently use headphones for everything from streaming movies/tv shows to gaming because the speakers I had weren't very good, so I'd like to get a decent 2.0 or 2.1 system for some of that stuff.

Poorly, but then again you're comparing a $40 pair of speakers to a $100-200 pair. I would rather spend the extra money and get good, long-lasting speakers no matter the initial cost. Then again I've probably spent more than most on my audio stuff, so who am I to speak. Sometimes you're tight on cash and for $65 the Lepai & Daytons make a decent garage stereo. Sometimes you just want some background noise.

Best bang for the buck is always going to be headphones. If you listen to music as a hobby and are strapped for cash, a ~$100 pair of headphones can be an excellent way to get started.

Thanks, I think I'll get the A2s based on what you guys have said. My headphones are ATH-M50s so they're no slouches, but sometimes I just don't want to wear headphones so I'd like some decent speakers as well.
