Hi folks,
I've read lots of good advice about digital cameras and other audio equipment, done a bit of searching on my own with lackluster results, and wonder if I can tap into the experiences of folks here.
I want to add some computer speakers to my family's iMac. Not for recording, rather just to listen to iTunes, etc. The computer is out in the open in my house on a desk, so I'd like something with a small "footprint", i.e., not very obtrusive or gaudy IMO, on the top of that desk. However, I'd like to get some good bass going, too; a subwoofer is therefore totally OK (it'll be somewhat hidden under the desk).
I love the look of the Bose Companion III and, with a tiny test I like the sound. However, at $250 at my local Target I'm somewhat shocked there don't seem to be lesser priced but nearly as good options from other manufacturers (admittedly perhaps my search was too hasty, but nothing was self-evident to me).
Any recommendations?
