I want to find a PC speaker that have amplify function.
As the general USB speaker have not sufficient power to
satistify my expectation , the loudness of the sound is not sufficient.
I want to find a PC speaker that can amplify the sound in more powerful way . may be 20W or more output power ...as general PC speaker only have max 10 W (5W x2) output power.
Any suggestion to find it or advice ???

Replace computer speakers with a more serious speakers with built in power amplifiers (such as used in studios for monitoring).

Cheaper solution, cheap or secondhand hifi amplifier and some small hifi speakers.
 
You will need speakers that have a power supply other than your computer. These can connect either to your audio out or your USB connection (well, mine connect to my separate DAC and power amplifier, but I am picky).

There are many, many such speaker sets. You can go from

to adding a subwoofer, which may give you the oomph you are missing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836113027&Tpk=VS2621

to the cool and funky: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0222107

to the fairly extravagant: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836166005&Tpk=bose%20companion%203

The best choice depends on what you want to listen to and your ears. Go down to a good computer store and listen to a few. What sort of budget do you have?
