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: http://www.genelec.com/products/ or Tannoy: http://www.google.co.uk/products?sou...m=1& ct=title Iain |

Iain 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? |

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. Stephen |

Stephen Okay I picked up some Audioengine 5s. But how the heck do they hook up to a MacBook, which I believe has only one audio out jack, that for a set of headphones. I hope there are some adapters available or should I be looking into returning these (very heavy) speakers? |

@u39g2000pru.googlegroups.com, says... Okay I picked up some Audioengine 5s. But how the heck do they hook up to a MacBook, which I believe has only one audio out jack, that for a set of headphones. I hope there are some adapters available or should I be looking into returning these (very heavy) speakers? You should just be able to plug them into the headphone jack: they will work fine that way. |
