Question How much are you willing to spend!!!
Because i can recommend several including the new harmon kardon's but they will run you about 800.00 or logitech which will run you 100.00 to 150.00
So like i said how much are you willing to spend ???? |

I wanted some betters speakers with my iMac so I went and got a set of Bose Companion 2 speakers. Had an awful humm so back they went and I got a set of the Logitech Z 2300-PC, two speaker/sub combo. I've been very happy with them. If they up and died I'd probably go back to Logitech for another similar set. One feature they have that I didn't think I'd like was the separate wired control knob to adjust the volume and to turn it off. Big plus in my book. Sound is good enough for my ears and they can kick out enough volume for the house if I wanted too. If you up your expense a bit I think you can find some nice ones for under $100.

I have the same speakers. I don't notice the humming, but they kind of lack in the bass department. They do have a bright and clean sound though.
Logitech makes a lot of nice speaker sets. That would probably be were I would begin my search for a new set of computer speakers. The Creative GigaWorks T40's also get good reviews.
Don't forget about using an Airport Express either. Outputting via Airplay makes for a nice solution if your home stereo is in the same room. |

I heard a subwoofer combination here for about $20 which is made by Genius and sounds good with the Mac mini and is a total of 10 watts which my room is not that big. thanks |

| This might be a little OT, but do the newer Mac minis still have a little internal speaker for listening to stuff without external speakers? My cousin had one of the very first ones Intel Mac minis and I thought the internal speaker was actually decent for listening to Youtube and stuff in a quite room. It wasn't great sounding, but it wasn't dead horrible either. It didn't wake up the house either. |
