I have Harmon Kardon n the Dell, great bass and really crisp highs, but I have a 5 piece Cambrudge sound works over here on the Mac G4, **** its better than Bose, but it killed me on cost, but in the long run it sounds wonderful //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Don't forget Altec Lansing...they have some good speakers out. My grandmas has some great-sounding Labtecs...a pair of tiny ones with a 6" sub i believe...

If you got the cash, go for Klipsch. Especially their dolby 5.1 system. It puts out about 500 watts. It's got 5 speakers and a 400 watt sub!! It pounds.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I've got an old Altec Lansing ACS 45...

it's small, compact, and ****, does it carry a punch...

It's now out of production and the ACS-33 was supposed to be the replacement and those are quite impressive too... funny thing with altec PC speakers, though..the more simple they look, the better it sounds...

I got my friend some funny looking expensive altecs and they didn't sound half as good as my acs45, although it's chepaer, has less power output...funny, but true...

I dont reccomend the monsoon's, they are to mid range biased and high highs are way to sharp

I got the Boston on mine, and they sound pretty good, they are not the best, but they are decent quality.
