I have always found computer speakers to be anemic sounding. Even the high end ones. I don't think you can ever replace the sound of quality home theater with computer speakers. Now for the money you'd end up spending on the amp, you could probably get a HT reciever (which are usuall 8 OHM, but rated to handle 4 OHM), hook up those speakers and have the room to expand your system however you wanted. Save up another $200 or so and get a 12" sub....another $100 for a set of book shelf surrounds, maby another $100 to $200 for a QUALITY center channel and you have yourself something that will outclass computer speakers. That and you can patch it into your DVD player and TV and enjoy movies in 5.1.

So you can spend the $30 on a pair of computer speakers. You can also spend a little more and start building something nice.
