Aidan Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'm looking to get my wife a nice set of speakers for her Mac for Christmas and would value your input. Requirements are: * Stereo (or two + sub) setup - 5.1 not required. * Headphone output for private listening. * Quality beats looks. * And the all-important budget - up to about 150UKP or $250. Go for it. Having a quick flip through the offerings in the Apple online store, my first instinct is towards the M-Audio Studiophile AV40 Studio: Yamaha P515 | Yamaha Tyros 5 | Yamaha HX1 | Moog Sub 37 Road: Yamaha YC88 | Nord Electro 5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Benhamou Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 For the price, THESE are pretty tough to beat. I've had mine for about 5 years now. Stellar sound quality, plenty of sub bottom, (in fact, I have to cut some bottom from the computer) and nice high end clarity, for such a small speaker system. Doesn't sound mid-rangy at all like most small speaker systems.

MoodyBluesKeys Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 +1 on Ian's advice - I have a considerably older Altec system with sub-woofer on my bedroom primary PC (one I am using now), I also have the machine setup as a secondary DAW, and an eMu 1212M audio card in it. I can also patch the machine in to an aux input on the 100w RMS per channel stereo system in the bedroom, but don't really find that needed. For something that small, it sounds good.
