I got some of the old Edifier RT1600 speakers.
Work perfectly for a small mancave-office, not felt the need to change, or upgrade.
They were only about £60 when I bought them new.

Still running my AE aego m's although starting to think about changing to just 2.0 to save some space.
edit: damn.. just realised they've got to be getting on for 10 years old, if not a bit more...
Logitech 506's, a few years old now and might upgrade to 906's when they go (and they are on sale)
Monkey banana 8's with DacMagic Plus
Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II. I don't have the space for a multi speaker setup and I've been more than happy with these for the past 2-3 years. They're far better than any of the previous cheaper speakers I've had, including cheaper Creative ones. Just need to knock the bass dial down to about the 10 o'clock position to get them sounding at their best.
Logitech X-140 2.0 speakers
cost me £20 from Amazon 6 years ago, the sound is meh but good enough for any DVD/Bluerays/youtube I play when im not watching alone (i use my Asus ROG Delta Core headphones when I'm by myself)
They weren't designed for the job, but I have a pair of Gale Gold Monitors that I picked up cheap off ebay. Can't imagine any dedicated PC speaker coming close to these for thirty quid.
Nothing beats studio monitors in terms of accurate sound reproduction, so I use a pair of M-Audio AV 40 coupled with an Esi Prodigy X-Fi Nrg sound card and they sound really good at any volume level, which is ideal for a bedroom setup.
Creative X7 paired with E-MU XM7.
Reason - I wanted a good DAC & powerful headphone amp to drive hard to drive Headphones. The X7 has a Mic input so TS can be achieved without other hardware & software.
The speakers are bookshelf & pair really well with the X7 integrated amplifier. Sound really good at low volume.
I've tried many PC speaker's, soundcards and been very disappointed.
This set up has been the best for my needs, the only negative is the overall price to achieve.
One of the cheapest ways to get a good sound is a normal integrated amp & bookshelf speakers run from your Mobo or soundcard.
Active speakers can be good too but if you look on secondhand market you see loads of cheap amps & speakers for little money as loads of people are moving to smart speakers.

mine are old Monsoon MM-700 Flat Panel 3-Piece Computer Speakers. love em they are a bit directional but the quality is top notch
I use a pair of Edifier studio monitors. They have served me well but are perhaps due for an upgrade soon finances permitting.
Still using my good old set of Logitech G51 5.1 speakers. Sounding great and see no need to change
