While you criticism is noted, how about recommend something.... from an audiophile standpoint.

Fine, I'll +1 the B&W speakers as i've heard them. Sound awesome but pushing the price envelope slightly.

Myself I have some older Monsoon MH 500 computer speakers, electrostatic tweeters and well-matched sub. Sounds damn smooth, clear and accurate bass (but not wall-pounding) and for $80.

I personally think people who demand ground-shattering levels of bass have blown cilia from too many concerts or something. I know a couple of people who couldn't sense bass if it slapped them in the face.

Thanks for the info.
 
These suggestions are great. However, they all appear to be focused on a single monitor setup where the speakers can sit on each side to give a good experience. But for a triple monitor setup, what suggestions would you guys recommend. I guess I could place a speaker at each end of the farthest monitor or something else. I currently have the Audyssey resting behind the main monitor (TB Display)(iMac)(TB Display). A low profile would be cool sitting under the monitor but haven't found a good solution yet.
 
I also have an Altec Lansing ADA995 system. I just purchased a late 2012iMac. How did you hook up the system to you iMac. Thank you in advance for you reply.

Sorry for not responding any time sooner.............did you find out how to hook up the speakers?
