How's the sound quality of Pro Speakers? Anyone knows what if iSub can be using with them?

    Pro Speakers are pretty much OK for their size and iSub will add a little extra punch to the sound, but for serious listening use a USB audio adapter like the Griffin iMic and hook up to a good HiFi system

    But I have heard that iSub does't work under OS X, how about 10.2?

    ......the iSub has it's own separate volume control in 10.2 [along with your pro speaker's volume control]

    if you're going to spend $200 on speaker stuff, get the Swan M200s from av123.com



    much better quality then you'll get from any kind of isub / speaker combo.

    I have a 15" LCD iMac and its speakers are okay. But I had an iSub from my PREVIOUS iMac DV and, of course, use that with my new one.



    Sounds good to me. Lots of bass and volume. I'm in a studio apartment, so it's not like I have to crank it to some ridiculous levels though.



    I'm happy to hear that 10.2 includes iSub volume control! That and the software base station feature were the two things I was most upset to see missing once I migrated to OS X from 9.



    Just keeps getting better!

    I second the Swans recomendation, I doubt you can get anything better for $200.

    The iSub would probbably be worth it....on the other hand, the pro speakers are really good sounding...
