Active monitor (like ATC), passive attenuator. There is no way Mac can produce a speaker that's even close in quality to good companies that specialize in speakers. Either path will also be significantly cheaper. --Andre

I'm thinking about a major speaker upgrade sometime this year and my unemployment leaves me with lots of auditioning time. ^_^
