it's a Apple Pro speaker minijack

Apple Pro Speakers Minijack
The Apple Pro Speakers minijack is a stereo 2.5 mm miniature jack. It has a smaller diameter than the headphone jack so that the user cannot inadvertently plug headphones into it.

Warning: Some types of headphones and other audio devices have a 2.5 mm plug. The user should be warned not to plug such devices into the Apple Pro Speakers minijack. Doing so could cause damage to the devices.
The electrical characteristics of the Apple Pro Speakers minijack are optimized for use with Apple Pro Speakers. The Apple Pro Speakers include an internal ROM that enables the computer to identify the speakers. Speakers other than the Apple Pro Speakers should not be connected to the Apple Pro Speakers minijack.

I always thought they used regular 3.5mm; I'm guessing the 2.5mm Pro jack is powered?

well i guess dat pretty much says it all. you guys think quality wise you feel your apple pro speakers are better than say a harman kardon on windows or some of the other products available or its jus a proprietary thing
