We received a Monet print, which hooks on, turning the bookshelf speakers into bookshelf paintings, too. As a more consumer-oriented check on production audio, we also have a pair of Labtec Edge PC speakers connected through the receiver. And there's nothing wrong with the Labtecs, when amplified separately, unless you're extremely sensitive to audio nuances. They sound fairly adequate, certainly good enough to play games, sufficient for knockabout PC audio. And, they have decent bass, if you need that sort of thing.
Few people compliment the sound designer on a TV show.
Audio for video has long been overshadowed by the motion-picture industry, which produces for the controlled conditions of a theater auditorium, instead of a tinny speaker in a living room competing with the dishwasher. These are all reasons why we haven't concentrated on audio until today. Now that we have, it's been made a lot easier by all the innovations in consumer audio, which have overshadowed much of what used to be esoteric or audiophile audio.
