O.T. With my new iMac, I decided to replace my Sony satellite speakers since I use the CD player for a stereo music entertainment system quite frequently. After listening to several setups at the CompUSA store in Tyler, TX, I settled on the Altec Lansing ACS45.1, which consists of two bookshelf speakers and one sub wolfer. After getting it home, it was panic time when it appeared that the input was separated into two stereo channels with separate plugs. MY MISTAKE! There were two separate inputs, each with a mini RCA two channel plug. So it is possible to keep the computer and the Pioneer tape deck both plugged into the speakers at the same time. By using a microphone as one of the source devices, one can use the speakers for voice annotated multimedia presentations. (Not that I do that) Let me tell you. This speaker system kicks ***! Even at high volume! Crystal clear. No audible harmonic distortion or noise. And as much butt thumpin' bass as any kid would want. (Not that I would want that) Plugs into any 110 v. outlet, and get this, NO transformer brick. Retail price $99. WELL WORTH THE MONEY! In the past, I have spent as much as the cost of the iMac and the speakers combined to get a stereo that sounds this good. Adding this function to an iMac makes it seem even more a bargain. I think I'll get off line and listen to some music. Perhaps some Steely Dan or Rickie Lee Jones. HerbVic
