I'd agree here. The only parts of my audio setup that are less than 5 years old are the noname amplified 2-ways that were tossed to me to be repaired. Sitting on the desk, the bass really sounds horrid, so I primarily use them for the upper mid to high sounds.

Sitting below the desk are a set of 19" high Magnavox S-8753 air-suspension speakers that I picked up ages ago at a yard sale, hooked to a salvaged Sears 65W tuner/amp. The speakers are turned to face the wall, turning the entire desk into a big reverb box bass monster. The rocket fire in Quake 3 is enough to rattle the windows, the doors, the floor, and the cat from her comfy warm spot on top of the monitor. :)
