Monsoon? NO WAY! They sound horrible. I reccomend:

I listened to them. The clarity is unbelievable. The subwoofer, while about the size of your computer tower and 50 pounds, is AMAZING. Each speakers contains a tweeter and mid-range.
The specs on the page I provided, as you can see, are unbelievable. The sub is 53 watts powered with a 6.5" driver. This sub is nice, although not as good as Logitech's subwoofers. Trust me. These speakers are so amazing and the clarity is unbelievable.
I currently own the Logitech Z540's. The Logitech tweeters aren't half as clear as the Altec/Lansing but the subwoofer is really nice.
If you like nice subwoofers, get a Logitech model. The tweeters aren't as nice, but their patented subwoofer design won't let you down.

There is their selection.
At any rate, you are going to want to get a system from one of these two companies. When you have an idea, convey it to me first!
