Hey all,

I am gearing up for Tiger and hopefully the announcement of it along with a revised iMac G5. When these are announced I will order straight away.

At the moment I have a Mac Mini and some fairly decent speakers but I will be selling my whole set up including the Mac Mini and my monitor to my brother as soon as my new system arrives. So, I will be looking to get some new speakers and this time I want some really decent ones. Can anybody recommend a good speaker setup, 5.1 or not, it doesn't really matter although 5.1 might be nice :)

They would have to look good and preferably match with my iMac G5.

So, please can anybody recommend any? Oh, as I listen to a lot of music the bass and all of that needs to be good on the speakers.

Thanks, it will be much appreciated. I can't make my mind up!

Lee

Well for the best sound you'd be best buying an amp and separate speakers then hook them upto your Mac Mini.

Without checking and from memory I thought that the Mac Mini only had 2.1 sound support? It's a bit pointless getting a 5.1 setup unless you get an external usb soundcard.

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear but I am selling my Mac Mini to get an iMac G5 and I need new speakers for that, not the Mac Mini.

Oh, I thought the iMac G5 did have 5.1 support? I don't know, maybe someone can clarify?

I have saw a couple models of Altecs which I did like, I will do a bit more research. Not buying any yet though.

More opinions always welcome :)

Thanks guys,

Are the default iMac G5 speakers that are in-built any good at all, or are they just decent?

And it seems there is 5.1 sound support:

Starting with the new headphone jack that?s also a mini-optical plug. So you can watch DVDs and listen to them in 5.1 surround sound.

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
