As I said, when I care about sound, I would just use my expensive headphones.
Just for hearing notification sounds and normal speech, with no particular musical requirements, monitor speakers are good enough.
And I have actually seen some sound systems that are worse than my current monitor speakers (although I can’t say why, considering they were other people’s setups). I even have the old SoundBlaster desktop speakers lying around somewhere and don’t consider them worth the effort.
Similarly, laptop speakers work well enough for non-music purposes too.
