There's some wisdom in here, for a budget setup. In my office I have an old Sony amp that was part of my dad's old stereo system - mid-range consumer grade, probably $200 new, but that was 20 years ago. For speakers I've got a pair of Sonys from an old portable boombox that I think was my sister's. It was a fairly large one and high-end, as boomboxes go. The speakers are wooden and have a 1" tweeter, a 3" mid-range and a 5" as well, so fairly decent sound. Total cost was free, but to buy used would be under $100 all-in. The sound is by no means pro level - it would never do in my studio, but it beats the hell out of any plastic-encased computer speaker setup I've ever heard.
