Hello. I'm outside the US trying to set up my studio--and was hoping to pick up some studio monitors here, but they are very expensive (over $500 for what would be less than $100 in the states) (Mine were too big to bring with me). So I was looking for alternatives. I came across a Bose store--where they sell computer speakers for $170 ($100 in the US). These are them:

They are computer speakers and not the 'pro' equipment that bose also makes.
So instead of running studio monitors out of my audio interface (Presonsus Firebox), I will run the speakers out of the headphone jack on my computer.
Has anyone done this? Will the sounds be reasonablely accurate to do mixing or do I have to shell out $500 or so? If it makes any difference, I'm running Logic.
Thanks for your help and insights!
