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.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
