Default Any way to get decent external speakers for a Macbook without havingto get an amp, too.

I'm using a pair of Bose comparion 2 Series 2, and they are
serviceable. Anything better out there, sans external amp?

For something *much* better listen to/look
at Genelec:

or Tannoy:

The Tannoy looked interesting; I wonder if there is any way I can get
them in Sydney Australia on short notice? I couldn't figure out which
of the Genelec models required an amp or didn't? Does "active" mean no
amp?

Active can be a synonym for powered, or amp built-in. I should have
asked what budget you had in mind and noticed where you are.

I have heard pro Tannoy monitors, good but can be bright depending on
how they're positioned.

I'd say to take a look at Quad and Wharfedale but good luck with the
website.

Don't know. Here's a review:

They are still desktop speakers.
