This go for sale for $100 all the time at Frys. Absolutely no "deal" going on right now on Massdrop. That being said I use these speakers at my computer and they sound great for $100.
yourmomskeyboardPlease make sure your looking at the same models. These speakers do require an Amp to drive them. What amp are you using on your computer setup? If your speakers are plugged directly into your computer then you have different speakers.
