Thanks, I missed that discussion.

Obviously, the full stereo system is going to be the best for that. A good system could be had for reasonable price, but the issue there is that it most likely won’t be good for near field listening like either the Bose or Audioengine speakers are. Normal stereo speakers are designed for the listener to be about six to eight feet away or thereabouts. The Bose or Audioengine will be fine on your desk right in front of you.

Headphones would also a good solution for good sound.
