Computer speakers for use with iTunes

Does anyone have advice about computer speakers for use with iTunes. I have ancient Altec Lansing computer speakers which sound really tinny-the iPod sounds so much better. I am looking for speakers less than $200, which have relatively small footprint. I have a small computer desk.

Thanks.

Bob

The Tivoli Model Two speakers ($150) make great computer speakers that also look very nice (and get get great radio reception!), but they may be too big for your desk.

You can add a subwoofer for another $80 though I am happy without it:

I just got Altec Lansing VS 2121 speakers, which are excellent.
