I have altec lansing here at work and cambridge at home; they're both fine. My neighbor at the next workstation has some logitechs that sound pretty good.
I have always had great success with logitechs. I have the 5.1 surround and got my parents the same but newer when I built their computer. My dad spends a lot of time in his home office and listens to a lot of jazz. He has been super happy with them as I was. They also make a two speaker/sub model with a separate controller that you can sit right by your phone, so you don't have to reach for the speaker. The controllers also have the head phone jack right there for that option. My 5.1 series has the control on the speakers, but my dads is separate and he has his right beside his mouse and loves that he doesn't have to get up and reach for the speaker if he gets a phone call. These are all very reasonably priced well under $100.

I'm also going on 8 years with my logitechs and they still sound as good as day one.
