If its just for casual use I'm sure they'll do fine. If you really into movies (and I don't mean ****e xvid rips) then its worth investing a little more to get a good surround sound system. the logitec x530 and z5500 ranges offer amazing bang for buck just stay away form the logitec g51 set I think they called they sound horrible for what you pay for them. If you more into music a good stereo system would be a better buy as stereo is still the default for music. again logitec will probably offer you the best sound in terms of speakers and what you willing to spend
