eMac speakers
Hi, I was wondering if any eMac owners can report on what the sound is like from the eMac speakers. Are they the same speakers essentially as the external ones that come with the iMac?? Because the speakers are so close to the screen do you find that the sound ever distorts the picture? Last time I had a CRT I found that loud volumes would distort the image somewhat (OK I like my music loud!). Anyone care to offer an explanation as to why/how this happens because it didn't happen at low volumes, only when I cranked up my then beige Apple Powered speakers.

For your use, I will buy good external speakers and place it away from the CRT.
While the specs on the speakers are nice, they dont fill the room like my old 2.1 yamahas did. I think adding a sub will really fill out the sound and make them much more satisfying. The iSub is nice because the low frequencies that get sent to the iSub are not sent to the emac speakers, allowing for more apparent volume from them.
Finally, the speakers are offset from the case internally ( a few millimetres ). I think the reason for this is airflow, and the my gap is getting very furry ( dust ) after only a few weeks. I have read that putting a hole like this right in front of speakers 'short circuits' them, reducing their volume ( like a sort of inverse bass port ).
Has anyone seen the screen waves in 2nd gen emacs? Or only 1st gen?
