Are the 27" ACD's speakers good quality?

Basically as the title says really.


Later this year, when I have the money, I'll be buying myself a Mac Pro. To start I'll be using my current PC's 19" LCD but really would like/need to get a decent screen for the Mac Pro, giving the 19" LCD back to my PC.

I already love the look, size, screen and bult-in iSight of the ACD and the extra USB ports are a nice bonus. However I haven't been able to find out much about it's speaker quality

I don't expect nor need fantastic quality speakers, they'll mostly be used for listening to music, watching video and the occasional bit of gaming. So are they of a reasonable good quality that will last?

Ugh, I can't believe I didn't even think to use the search here
Never though I'd say 'Thanks for pointing out the obvious' without being sarcastic

EDIT: Well it seems they will fit my needs perfectly

i'm quite happy with the speakers

The speakers are loud enough for most use cases, but don't expect miracles. They cannot compare to good 2.1 audio systems. Having said that, I prefer using them than my Harman Cardon speakers. I do not need the quality that the Harman Cardon has. I prefer saving the space for other things

Howbout...

Better than pretty much any other built-in monitor speakers out there...

Better than the cheap chintzy 19.99-49.99 external speakers calling themselves "computer speakers"...

Better than Bose Companion 2

Nowhere near something like the B&W MM-1 ($500) or Bose Computer MusicMonitor ($400) or even Bose Companion 3 or 5... (not really a Bose fan, but as "computer speakers" go, they're not bad...)

I use them all day most days. Good enough so that I don't have to have another two pieces of crap cluttering up my desk.
