Buying 2.1 speakers, suggestions wanted

[sharad]

Hi Friends,
I am looking to buy speakers for a small-ish room for listening to music, and ocassional gaming. I would be connecting this to my laptop for gaming and if the speakers have USB ports for music, it'd be great. I have come across F&D A555U and Edifier P3060. Any other suggestions are welcome:

F&D A555U:
Pros:
Screen, Remote, Front side USB Port and controls, 56 W RMS
Cons:
Not a looker, Not sure about the brand

Edifier P3060:
Pros:
Looks good, Edifier sound quality would be better (Not sure)
Cons:
Bad placement of controls and USB port, No remote, comparatively low RMS output (30 W)

It seems to me the F&D deal is better than edifier, but my concern is the quality of the sound and the build quality of these. Can anyone confirm these two things?

TIA

My self looking for speakers. Last week auditioned F&D A555u . The sound was crip and clear with decent bass i.e to my liking.

pros.
-Sounds good
-the satilites would look good on the desk

Cons-
-Remote is fragile

I'm eyeing on F&D F680.

I myself is enjoying music and games using Logitech Z313 2.1 Speakers @ 1650 which is quite a buy because the volume rocker has 3.5" socket even to plug in Head phones as well. These are light on pocket and great for music or games.

f&d A555u doesnot have analogue controls for bass and treble... so everytym u switch it off.. all ur settings are lost and u need to configure the bass and treble again.. which can be quite a pain .. tht wuz the downer for me...
