Roland MA-10D Digital Powered Speakers (Pair)
outstanding desktop speakers for music lovers
These are not your usual run of the mill computer speakers in cheap, smallish plastic casing.  These speakers are perfect for those people that enjoy listening to music on their computers.  The overall sound quality is excellent (though they do require some time for adequate break-in), and is definitely better than  <br />a $200-300 5.1 system with 5 tiny speakers and a sub (for music that is, if you are a gamer that doesn't listen to music on your computer having 3D sound may be more important to you than accurate sound reproduction.)   As far as bass goes, these speakers do not include a subwoofer, but they do provide decent bass (though I do admit a sub would be nice, and could possibly be added if your sound card provides a sub output). <br /> <br />These speakers also can accomodate just about any type of input you could throw at them (standard RCA jacks, digital optical, digital coax) and also includes a headphone jack.   <br /> <br />Overall, I have been impressed with these speakers and consider them a great deal!  <br /> <br />P.S., I have been using these speakers on my PowerMac G4 and they work perfectly!
