- Let me recommend AGAINST these speakers. The quality may be fine (I'm no
- audiophile, they sound OK to me), but the volume is very low. Sound level 7
- through the speakers is approximately the same as sound level 1 through the
- Mac's internal speaker (when the latter happens to work, that is!).
-
- Does anyone know if the external speaker jack somehow gets less power than the
- internal speaker? If it does not, then perhaps someone can recommend a (cheap)
- speaker or pair of speakers that will produce reasonable volume?
-
- I'd be willing to go with a powered speaker if I could find one that is really
- cheap (under $30) and uses AC. My experience with battery-powered speakers is
- that they use up the batteries overnight--no one in my house (including me)
- would ever remember to turn them off.
