Since alot of the members here use PC speakers on gigs or home use, I think you really should look into the Klipsch THX speakers and make a comparison to the popular Logitechs. I happen to own the 4.1 which are 4 satelites and dual 8" woofers. The 2.1 should be excellent for practice and small crowds, they have actual horns!

Here's some info.

The ProMedia 2.1 THX®-Certified, three-piece computer audio system transforms your desktop into a high-performance audio entertainment center. Its exclusive Klipsch MicroTractrix® Horn maximizes digital technologies such as CDs, MP3 downloads, streaming radio programs and other popular personal audio applications, and delivers a level of power and accuracy never before available. The high output digital hybrid amplifier driven ProMedia 2.1 incorporates a convenient headphone jack as well as a miniplug input that makes it compatible with gaming consoles and most portable audio devices. This powerful system is available in 120 and 230 volt versions.
