Bond, I'm going through the same decision process right now, except instead of the HAPP shielded speakers, I was looking at getting a set of 5 1/4" car speakers. My issue was with the non-shielded car speakers, I was afraid that they would distort and eventually ruin the monitor. I'm mostly convinced that I will just use the original satellite speakers from my Harmon Kardon 2.1 computer speakers rather than spend the money on additional speakers! Let us all know what you decide to do and how it turns out!!!
