Speakers to compliment my MacPro

[Rasheem]

I'm looking for some good speakers for my mac. I don't want to spend more than $70. I would be fine with going used if they sounded good still. I want a system with a sub. Any recommendations on which ones i should get and where to buy?

I don't want to spend more than $70.

And you have a Mac Pro?

On my Mac Pro, I use the Harman Kardon SoundSticks II. Although they are a bit more expensive ($169 USD), they sound amazing! I give them a very high rating indeed! On the Apple Store, they are rated 4.5 out of 5.0 with 370 reviews. The SoundSticks II include a large subwoofer as well, so you get a lot for your money.

And that's exactly why he doesn't want to spend so much.

So I guess they'll be going next to the CRT he bought to go with the Mac Pro too then?

I like the soundsticks but I never have anywhere to put subwoofers!

Just Look for some. Try staples or Bestbuy.

Under your table or behind your monitor (if the table's big enough).

Yup

Under your table or behind your monitor (if the table's big enough).

I second the floor. I have 2.0 for the Mac and 5.1 for the XBOX.

It's just that there's no a lot of room below my desk, and I don't like them beside it because it looks too messy!

By compliment do you mean whispering sweet nothings into its ear and commenting on shoes and makeup?

Well I wasn't going to be so pedantic as to point it out, but whatever.

OP; the word is complement* Just so you know for next time

With my Mac Pro i have Lacie Firewire Speakers very good quality of sound but their color is white. They cost about $78 from mac-pro.com

 

[Superman07]

Somewhat more than what you are looking to spend, but this is a terrific price for a terrific set of speakers!

I have the soundsticks (version 1) and highly recommend them as well. Great sound and easily loud enough to fill most spaces. They look great too, IMO. The current version is even better than what I have because you dont't lose a usb port.

 

[DarthTreydor]

exactly what are you doing on this mac pro for which $70 speakers are acceptable?

nothing related to audio?

Oxymoron

There is a contrast between your request for good speakers and $70 limit.

For your budget you can buy cute speakers or cheap speakers but audiophiles that wish to offer suggestions may find it difficult to offer good speaker choices. Nevertheless, searching merely for price, here's a suggestion.
