Under 50 watts is fine unless you get fucking huge speakers. You can get a deal on used "home theater" receivers from the usual sources (craigslist, ebay, etc), doesn't matter if it supports ten billion channels or not, you'll only be using two of them. My personal preference is yamaha, they tend to be higher quality than the usual consumer grade (read: shit) stuff.

Good example of what a used one goes for, I've seen cheaper too. If you're going to buy a receiver then you'll need to get other speakers besides the A5's.

i own the bose mini soundlink 2 and it works great for me. its plenty loud enough for a small room and has a great sound. my computer is also in a small room though. its also convenient because you can just pick it up and walk away with it.
the audiophiles probably fucking hate it. its not as good as desktop speakers especially if theyre run through a receiver but its also extremely convenient so fuck it.

Wew lad.
I bought monoprice powered studio monitors on sale for $119.99, two large 5" woofers and with two 1" tweeters>
All I do is plug them into a $50 USB DAC and I get twice the volume you have and a lot more separation and a hell of a lot more low end.
pic related, one of the monoprice speakers on my desk.

yeah i admin my requirements are specific.
extremely limited desk space
i cant turn it up too loud because of my neighbors so ive no need for that much sound.
in my line of work having a portable speaker like that is priceless. i move around a lot. i keep my desktop at my primary residence but regurlarly i will have to pack up and live somewhere else for a month or so. so i just throw my laptop and my bose in a backpack and go. so either i pay for both sets of speakers or i just stick with the bose.
