also, what are you going to use them for? a 2.1 system is kinda unless if you're just going to listen to music, and you can always add the sub later and start with a good 2.0 system.

Bose speakers are waaaay overpriced and overrated.
HarmanKardon are stylish but definitely there are many speakers that sound better for the money.

For your Imac!?.
For that kind of money the Dali Zensor 1's and a Denon CEOL is a good bet. The Denon is Airplay so you can stream and control from your Imac.
I have that set up in one of our rooms and it's a great sound for a smaller room

they give you a good advice, the Teac is a nice dac/amp for speakers and also a very good headphone amp if you already have them or you're thinking about buying some in the future.
the Dali Zensor 1 are also a great buy for the money but have a look at what I suggested earlier. they're all great speakers, if they fit your budget you won't be disappointed.

the teac UD-H01 has an USB input!
and a better DAC chip compared to the A-H01.
