Speaker Help...

Hi guys,
I'm just about to get a new 20" iMac, and I need some really good speakers to compliment it. I'm gonna be music editing using software like Logic Pro 7.2 and need a really good sound from the speaker system.
Looking to spend anything up to £300 tops.
I've heard the Harmon Kardon Sticks are really good...
Anyone rate the Bose Companion 5 set?
Some help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

The Soundsticks are rated very well but I just chose the creature II's over them as the look with the Mac is excellent. To my surprise these speakers are also amazing!!! Everyone who listens to them are also amazed.. Much cheaper and great sound.I'm glad I got them and my friend who has the soundstickssays they are are a very close second and he has trouble hearing a difference.

The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's are excellent speakers for about 80GBP. I think they sound every bit as good - and probably better - than the generally overpriced Bose.

The HK Soundsticks II are awesome.

The Creature II's are pretty lame compared to these things...

I would recommend the Bose Companion 2 or Bose Companion 3. I have a pair of Companion 2's and they are great. I bought them here:

for $99.95 or £52.59.

Bose Companion 3 or HK ST's 2?

Both are near the same price, and I'll justify the price if the Bose are "that much better".
