I have a iMac desktop computer. I occasionally watch movies on it and use it to listen to iTunes in my office. I’m not an audiophile but I want a decent sound. I’m hoping to get a good (or at least serviceable) set speakers for $50 or less.

Any suggestions?

I don’t have any recent personal experience, and there aren’t a lot of online reviews of under $50 speakers. One of the most popular on Amazon is the [Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602)](http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-Subwoofer-Satellite-CA-3602/product-reviews/B0027VT6V4/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1). There are over 1300 customer reviews, and there doesn’t seem to be much buyer’s remorse.

They cost $41.
