speakers

Does anyone know of any affordable speakers that you can hook up to a HTPC\Media Center and then take the speakers anywhere around the house to listen to them?

Basically, what I've found has either been headphones that do this or wireless speakers that site on the desktop.

Affordable to me would be $50-100. I think I've seen some options for hundreds of dollars - but I'm looking for something simple that I can use around the house.

TIA.
