Default Computer speakers

These might do it: Alesis M1 Active 320 USB

These might be perfectly good speakers. But...

You're going to have a heck of a time getting 20W RMS [sic -- there's no such
thing as RMS power] out of them, as a USB interface can provide no more than
500mA at 5V. And this 2.5W has to be divided between two speakers!

Granted, most speakers can put out a listenable SPL with 100mW (or less). But
you're not going to be able to play them at high levels. At least the
expensive Vers speakers I mentioned have their own batteries.
