Looking for PC 2.0 louspeakers with no bass and lots of treble

Hi,

I'm looking for loudspeakers with a large capacity to give me treble sounds. These days, loudspeakers seem to have a ridiculous emphasis on bass, which I hate because I've had hyperacusis for a long time now, and treble is much easier on the ears. The thing is, I've had two pairs of loudspeakers for a long time, one pretty large from what seems like Aashima Technology, and another smaller pair that broke a year ago or so, and they had nice amounts of treble.

The large loudspeakers have a treble range I could increase to the max or pretty close to the max, and I'm not sure that this was the case with the smaller ones but the sound was so tinny that they also had a pretty tinny feel. It was pretty much the same tinny sensation people complain about and label as bad loudspeakers, but for me they were great.

So I'm either looking to know if big good loudspeakers, which despite their capacity to have a lot of bass, are the ones that can have a lot of treble because they have treble and bass levers and not just tone or bass ones, or if there are tinny loudpspeakers out there in the market that don't give any bass and are totally tinny.

The problem is I bought two pairs of loudspeakers recently, both large and small. The smaller pair was USB powered and I took it granted that because they were small they would have no bass, but boy was I wrong, they have a ton of bass. The larger pair was a pair of T10 Creative Inspire loudspeakers, where I failed to look close at them and see there's no treble lever, just a tone, and the tone just goes from medium amount of bass to ridiculous amounts of bass. I tried to unscrew and break into them to modify them physically but they're too glued up.

So now I can go for the following options- I can spend 50 pounds on Creative Inspire T20 which does have a treble lever, but I'd buy with the risk of them not being good enough for me, with the costs of having to send them back very high. Or I can find loudspeakers on the market that are small and don't have any bass, ones that you've found exceptionally tinny but at the same time not too quiet that you have problems listening to people talking on the PC audio.

Do you have any suggestions? thanks in advance

That is sounds like you don't like "fake" bass - there small speakers try and fail miserably at producing the lower bass notes.
What I think you need are small, but very accurate multimedia speakers like these:
Audioengine 2 - Audioengineusa.com

Option b (cheap, but not as good)
Behringer MS16 - I have them and they are ok as PC speakers, but they not as good as speakers above:

I'd still take MS16 over ANY Creative speakers or especially the 10 pound crap you liked to above.

What software are you using to playback music? Why not just use an equalizer to filter the bass out to a level that is just right for you? I use Nevi's EQ for winamp, this is a 256 band EQ that can be shaped in any way you want. I would get some good speakers and remove the bass with an EQ to a point where they are comfortable to listen to.
