When you think of sound systems, it’s likely images of gigantic woofers and speakers come to mind.  You know, the kind that can bounce you three blocks if you aren’t holding on to something grounded when they thump.  That’s usually in cars, or in someone’s house or apartment.  But a lot of us these days spend more and more time enjoying multimedia not only on our home stereo surround sound systems and car radios, but on our computers.  That’s where we use iTunes.  That’s where we download our music and album art, make favorite playlists, and sometimes (if we’re lucky) even play music out into our homes.  You can’t hope to get the same sound quality from a tinny-sounding set of stock PC laptop speakers that you could from stock Mac speakers.  There are other things to consider as well.
