[CUBE] Soundsticks vs. Cube speakers plus iSub

[Francois]

While on this topic,
does anyone frequently listen to music at almost full volume from their 
cube? i use headphones (Sony's MDR-V150) and frequently catch my self 
maxing the volume. could this be bad (for my cube i mean not my ears) 
yesterday i noticed that itunes would frequently spontaneously pause 
when icq received a message. could this be a sign?

as for the pro speakers, im consistently amazed at the sound quality 
from them, they still blow away every other computer's stock speakers 
ive seen to date. and sound sicks are even better. Even for Trance and 
drum n bass. go pick them up, but be careful, you might not be able to 
use the isub, ive heard that u may need a special iSub. check it out 
before u pick them up.
