Are there any speakers with subwoofer that you can connect to the Thunderbolt Display via USB so one doesn't have to connect a 3.5mm audio cable to their laptop when 'docking'? Will the USB speakers work via the Thunderbolt Display cable?
Get the normal Soundsticks (or any wired speakers) and use something like this adapter. I'd actual recommend the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers.Just a bump on this, as I'm looking for something with a subwoofer to go with my TBD.
I've looked at the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks, and also the Edifier Prisma, but apparently the bluetooth is for iPhones/iPads, etc, and doesn't work with Macs.
I have a Mac mini and TBD and am still looking for a solution. Any ideas?

I know on the iMac that if you use the audio output jack the internal speakers are disabled. I am not sure if that is also true on a Mac mini....
Given the Klipsch uses a headphone input port, I could just use the spare headphone port on the back of the Mac mini, right? Is there any advantage to using the USB adaptor?

There's a chance is you got a very high end USB sound card that the might would be better. But I'm not sure you would really hear a difference unless you got rather expensive speakers to go with it....
I was just wondering if the audio quality would be higher via a USB adaptor.
