Some Big Honking Speakers with a Subwoofer
Face it: Macs have crummy speakers (or, worse, only one crummy speaker). With a decent set of speakers, games are more fun, music sounds like music instead of AM radio, and the voiceovers in your multimedia titles suddenly become intelligible. If you’re into sound, you’ll enjoy your Mac much more if you add a set of window-rattling speakers, preferably with a massive subwoofer to provide that booming bass that sound lovers crave. So crank it up! I’m partial to Audioengine A5 speakers (www.audioengineusa.com
), which are totally awesome but not cheap (around $400). But any good speakers kick the stuffing out of the speakers built into any Mac.
A killer set of speakers makes watching movies on your Mac a zillion times better.
