Well, yes, I'm talking about "toy" speakers (why would they be toy?).
Of course you can connect them to any kind of device, not just
computers.

If you are really concerned enough about audio quality to go to the
trouble of trying to run frequency response curves, you likely will
not be sataisfied with ANY of those speakers that are sold to the
computer crowd. They're OK for playing games or listening to
internet radio, etc. but I wouldn't trust them for any kind of
qualitative audio mixing, processing etc.

I'd think that the minimum for any kind of quality would be some of
the powered monitors sold for the home recording crowd. Something
like M-Audio or Behringer or Roland, etc. This kind of stuff....

If you aren't doing serious audio processing, but just curious about
your computer speakers, maybe you'd be happier not knowing. :-)
