Try the creative sound blaster X Katana V1 or V2 (i have both) they are equally good but prices are quite steep for mainstream pc speakers. Whether to pick V1 or V2 or V2 X (it has no sub), it just depends on whether you need some new features and connection mode. If not, the other PC monitor soundbar option which is probably what you're looking for is the Razer Leviathan V2, it ranges from the cheapest non sub model V2 X (yep same naming) to the flagship V2 Pro with some gimmicky features, its pretty good for a soundbar widely made for PC gaming market although i tried the V2 and had a V2X, they are not on the same level as SBX Katana.

I thought the katana series quite decent. With your budget can even splash for the SXFI carrier lol Katana V2 works just nicely
The creative Katana 2, I like creative because it has mids and it's loud! You can don't put the sub woofer too if you don't like
Sound blaster katana series is fantastic albeit a little over priced
