There's no replacement for air volume.

I've got a mediocre pair of Altec Lansing speakers that came with my dad's Dell years ago. It's a 2.1 system but it's not too shabby, yet compared to systems like yours, yes, it is blown out of the water.
Yet, as you said in the paragraph I cut out (why I did i have no idea), crappy-ness is all relative to what you're used to. I'm not used to really good speakers, so I can deal with how crummy they are in respect to yours. I'm happy!
Now that you mention it, though, my dad does have a pair of nice tower speakers ... problem is there's a little damage to the paper cup thing on the front. They're really old. Then again, I'm using his Superex ST-PRO B-V headphones from like, the '70s. Hurt my head like hell, but they're by far the best pair of headphones I have ever owned.
