NB: I am a base idiot, and not an audiophile. I am utterly ignorant, so please keep the technical talk and jargon to minimum.
I have been dreading this day. My trusty old MX5021 looks like it is going to die. Considering it served me fairly well for over a decade an a half, I ought not to feel too bad, but I got so used to its nice tight, deep, and reverberating bass that I am afraid I might not be able to find something like that within that budget.
I tried the Logitech Z263 and did not find it to my liking. Also, if I am replacing speakers, I thought I might as well replace them with something that I have less hassle with wires and all. So, I was considering getting a large enough single studio monitor or a pair or smaller ones, so that I do not have to muck about with the wires and that would also allow me to easily move them from room to room (should the need arise).
So, I have a few questions:
How good is the output connected to a PC?
I could not find anything reliable about the cable used to connect these to a pc/tv - help would be appreciated.
Do I need a pair, or would one speaker do? (I mostly watch movies - smallish room, and I am the only person)
Any other speaker suggestions? I am open. I zeroed in KRK because they seemed to be bang for the buck (relatively). How are mackies? I am not too sure about Klipsch because the last time I listened to ProMedia PC speakers, I came away unimpressed.

TL;DR - Start Here
I am thinking about the KRK Rokit 8 G4. (Since @Vandal has been missing for over a month)So, I have a few questions:
