Personally I think we're asking the wrong question. I think the sound card is
more important than the speakers. Years ago I had a cheap sound card that was
actually lying to me. On my end, my audio was going out both speakers in high
quality. But on the internet for the public it was a static mono sound. So
after I bought a very high quality sound card, I heard how bad my stuff
actually was.
I still don't get the true sound mix until I play stuff on my stereo, but I
have learned to make my vocals lower than what I intend so it comes out right.
