Speakers to Pair with T-Amp

[MrPirate2882]

Hi, im putting together a bookshelf speaker system for my computer and I need a little bit of help deciding which speakers to use. First off, you should take into important consideration that im using a super t-amp, which is only about 7wpc. Im not going to be playing it too loud but I wanted to know which of the following speakers would sound best with the T-amp.

Primus 150:

The Insignia's are the most efficient but even with only 7 watts aside from your amp I would pick the speakers that sounded best to me. The speakers will be drawing only a couple of watts.

A couple of things to consider:

The Insignias are not magnetically shielded -- if you have a CRT monitor you don't want them to be close to the monitor.

The Primus 150s are pretty weak in bass (in comparison with the Insignias) so unless you are pairing them with a sub you may or may not be happy with the low end.

If I read that right, that post refers to the orginal $30 T-amp, not the Super T this poster is talking about. Not sure exactly how big a difference in performance there is but the Super T should be noticeably better, I would think.

For those prices why not bring all those speakers home and compare them yourself? (Making sure first of course you have a solid return policy without a restocking fee...)
