You pay for quality. Not sure if it's true but I was informed that Altec Lansing are only second best to Bose.

As long as you're happy with your choice, that's all that matters.

They look nice, but looking at the specs...

Actually Bose sucks. It's just a common misconception that they're really good, while almost all audiophiles hate them (im not an audiophile, but I had to do research on home theater speakers so I read up about Bose). They also don't publish ANY specs for their speakers, so that's a bit dodgy.

Anyways, I would reconmend this set,

or this set if you can slightly stretch your budget,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836121121

(I know newegg doesn't ship to Australia, but see if you can find someone who sells these models there)

edit: Oh I just saw that you already bought it. Good choice! Logitech speakers are great!

There are many articles online criticizing Bose. Of course you can't believe them all, but piecing together information, you do get a sense of how they're HTPC's aren't worth what they cost.
