Just bought a desk (up until now, I've had to sit on the floor to use my computer, which was sitting on a 50cm or so tall unit. Had to move furniture around to accomodate desk (this room is only 8ftx8ft6). I now have no room for my amp and speakers to go. Well I could hook them up, but both the speakers would be to the right of me, towards another wall of the room.
I've hooked up the 5.1 speakers I got cheap with my 2405FPW, with the nice centre speaker that attaches to the monitor. They sound crap though, compared to the sony amp and speakers that I'm used to listening to. The bass the sub produces doesn't sound like its part of the music, it just sounds like this odd rumble going in tune with the music, and the sats have far too much treble, everything sounds tinny.
People here seem to love the Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 speakers, but are they actually any good, and can they at least hold a candle to a low end amp and speaker system? I really don't have the space for full size speakers, although I could mount some small bookshelf speakers on the wall, recommendations of those would be great too!
I don't have much to spend at the moment, so try and keep the prices low, under £200 if possible. I'm not really looking at 5.1/7.1 etc, I play music more than games, and when I do game, I usually use my headphones, so I'm only looking for 2.1
Any help/thoughts appreciated!

As you can imagine, my 2405 takes up much of the width of the desk, so idealy I'd like to somehow raise the speakers above the monitor, either with brackets, or something like those stands you have there.
