I need a decent set of PC speakers around the 40,000w price range.

2.0 or 2.1 setup is what I'm looking for. I'm not looking to blast the music for parties, but I will need the volume so I can hear the speakers over the washing machine/running faucet.

I got a set of Creative I-trigue 2200's now and they don't have enough sound for me. Thought maybe someone on here could recommend some good speakers.

I wanted to go JBL, Logitech, or Altec Lansing but they are REALLY expensive here in Korea.

I just bought the Creative T10 2.0 speakers in Linkos for 66,000 won.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836116035

So far I'm really pleased with them. They won't rock the house, only 5x5w, but they do have a good balance of bass, mid and treble. Perfect desktop speakers, I'd say. Compact, but with a full sound.

I bought them after I lifted them up in Linko's to see the back of them and was really surprised by their weight. Very hefty and solid.

Have you noticed any static coming from the speaker when there is no sound playing, and the speakers are on?

No. None at all. They're about a month old now.

Static can happen when moisture gets into a cheap volume pot (knob) after a while. The volume knob on these speakers feels like a good quality one.

Get a good pair of headphones...Not sure about your apartment, but I was getting noise complaints left and right even on low volumes(at night). I only border two apartments and all the floors below me are shops...

Also britz seem to be lacking, you can get a decent set for 10k won used....Ozaki wasn't that great either. I'd stick to creative or logitech.

Britz have been good for me. I got these in 2007 and they are awesome, no feedback, great sound. The only annoying thing is a small but bright blue light that I had to tape over.

I second samd. I have the same ones at home and so far nothing to complain about.
