lazyweb in lieu of immediately going to the wirecutter: what’s the state of basic computer desktop speakers? the set that i’ve got on my work computer has effectively lost its right speaker (it plays but it’s severely attenuated compared to the left) so i’m in the market

i’m explicitly not looking for the best, just something with a subwoofer that i can play music on while i work. let’s call the budget $100 and work from there

@QuietMisdreavus one option which may or may not appeal to you is popping open the speakers you have, figuring out what size of drivers they have in them, and buying a pair of drivers to replace the broken one. that's generally a pretty easy repair, as far as it goes.
