Pro Speakers with new iMac
I bought a new iMac yesterday (wonderful machine!!) and it comes with the Pro Speakers.
They sound very nice up to half the full volume, but over that they sound like crap! And the always have to much bass.
Does you got Pro Speakers and have the same problem? And what can you do about it?

the solution is to buy an iSub, which should IMO be included with the iMac in the first place

In fact, my PowerMac is in the corner of our living room, and we use it as our main stereo. Mind you we don't try to peel the paint off the walls, but we do crank it up a little sometimes. We're more than happy with the SoundSticks, and they look GREAT too.
BTW, having the Mac where it is is so cool - I can walk over, make a playlist with a dozen songs in seconds... and we're set for music for an hour. (not to mention the countless playlists that are already made - takes only a second to select one)
iTunes rocks.
<strong>Soundsticks are definately not worth the price. For $200, they sound like shit IMO.</strong><hr></blockquote>
gotta agree. soundsticks are not too special. only thing they have is design. the sound quality can be found for much much cheaper.
Sure, I've heard better too, but for $135 I'm happy with the purchase. If I'm going to listen to music though, I listen through the B&O speakers that are linked to my living room soundsystem....

its funny you say that, i always thought the soundsticks are hideously ugly. the isub is ugly too, but necessity may take precedence over fashion. i went to go buy an isub today, but the sales guy told me it wouldnt work with the new imac, since the box only said imac 350 and OS 9 compatible. i remembered someone here saying they are using it on their imac g4, but the sales guy told me not to buy it unless i was 100% sure. very strange. so i didnt get it. just so i can go back and tell the guy he made me make a seoncd trip...does it work? need official answer.
:cool:
They work great with the new iMac G4, too, so I got another set.
I am a believer in the original iSub that I tried to get my spouse to use with her iMac SE Snow, but she prefers to work in silence--no beeps, no buzzes, no whirrs, and no music. I am banished to the Library/Other room where I blast away at moderate volume on the Cube.
At school, my office rocks late at night on the iMac G4 with Sound Sticks, and I silence everything in the day with little Koss earphones.
:cool:
but im gonna order the isub thru the apple store, since it was still cheaper than what comp usa was selling it for.
