Hello Richard I don't know how much you'd be willing to spend but I've got the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks and the sound is incredible. I've had people state they thought I had my stereo turned up loud but it was just my incredibly stylish Soundsticks. I bought them in 2001 for $366CAD - I don't know what they'd cost now, but I think they'd be worth it. They're USB and plug into the Apple's 20" flat panel monitor as well as into my 14" iBook with equal satisfaction! Hope this helps David On 24-Mar-05, at 14:53, Richard Willis wrote: > Hello everyone, > I've had my cube for about a year now, and I have been working without > sound.
