A Thread about [Speakers]

So I'm in the market for a new set of speakers, and I'm completely out of the loop. My parents own a set of Klipsch speakers that I like, and I might end up just getting the same thing for myself:
However, the internet seems to be in love with these speakers:.
I was wondering if you guys had other recommendations on nice speaker sets? I don't have a particular price point in mind, but I stress value. If you know of a set of remarkably capable set of speakers for only $50 I would love to hear about it. If you got a $300 set that has lasted you for years and produces incredible sound, I would love to hear about that too. These are mostly for music use, video games are only a secondary concern.
Ideally, a 2.1 sound system or better that can fit in a relatively small room. Also, value.

Holy crap, I first looked at the Best Buy link you provided, and thought: "Hey, that's more expensive than Amazon's price". And then I clicked on the Amazon link for posterity.
What happened to Amazon's $150 price stock? Hopefully they restock soon. $349 is highway robbery considering Klipsch's MSRP is set to $150.

They have a small midrange speaker pointing down onto the surface that they sit on. It basically gives you a 3-way computer speaker and I have always found them to sound incredible. There is an updated model available: http://www.alteclansing.com/index.php?file=north_product_detail&iproduct_id=vs4121.
This entire speaker line just sounds fantastic. They have been updated but look for any model with a small downward woofer built into the speaker and they will be money. They usually cost about $80 - $100.
I actually have had Altec Lansing 4100's for the past couple of years that are great. I got them insanely cheap (~$40) on clearance at MicroCenter.
I have this.
It is love.

I do recall reading that pretty much all non-audiophile (read: non-$Eurasia) speakers built nowadays can't hold a candle to ones built 20 or more years ago, is there any truth to that and could anyone explain why?

they still work today perfectly, the woofer is a monster, and the sound quality is amazing. also, the price has dropped considerably since (I paid about $250, they're about $175 now)
my 2cents!
It would also be the appropriate forum for these types of threads!
