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.
