I only know one guy who has them and he lives far away and I didn't hear them.
But the ones I saw with him are rather small and for low frequencies you need
big membranes and lots of air to be moved. So the bigger the speaker the
lower the frequencies supported. And with some small speakers half the height
of your 17" screen you can't expect much...
One thing to keep in mind with active speakers
budgetwise is, that you
also need something to control their volume. Either use a small mixing
desk like the Samson MDR6 or the Soundcraft Compact4 (which is very
nice!) or one of the smaller "volume knob" thingies like the C-control
by (again, sorry) Samson.
I had a look at the C-Control too and would have bought it (on ebay) but there
also was an auction where I got a MAM-line-mixer for <25€ and that is doing
its duty here now. Even my wife got used to it. :-)
But such a thing is important. One could argue that you don't need one with an
external (hifi-)amp but a small mixer lets you use different sources at the
same time or offers ways of monitoring, talk-back and the like (in the case
of the C-Control or its behringer-pendant).
