I bought a set of klipsch speakers for $149 U.S. It's a 2.1 system and, for the price, the range is great. I have, however, found out since I've switched computers that you need a good sound card to drive them.
Just my two cents worth.

Are you saying there are full-range speakers of the same size and price? How does one define full-range? In my experience, it is very rare that one can simply choose between full-range and boombox sound with size and price remaining constant. I have not heard the Bose Companion series so I don't know if I would like them or not, but there are times when I have found a good boombox sound to be acceptable when the speakers fit into a tight space or when they were being used by people who might not be careful with them. I also still use a set of thirty-year-old Freid floor standing speakers which were considered full range and enjoy them as well.
