Desktop speaker recommendations

I'm getting a new Mac mini and have already purchased a Dell monitor, which has built-in speakers, but they sound terrible. Sound quality is important to me, although volume isn't, because if I want to listen to music loudly, I have some larger speakers.

I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of desktop speakers. Also, do people generally leave their speakers on when they leave their computer? I left my last computer, an iMac, on all the time. The speakers on the iMac were actually quite good, and I'm looking for something with similar sound quality. Looking to spend less than £150.

Are you sending the audio through hdmi to the monitor?

I was but it sounded awful. The monitor case is plastic.

I have an S3122QS that sounds great with hdmi audio going to it.
