I'm looking to buy some speakers as a christmas prersent for a Cube owmer who's complaining there's are too quite.
My quaestion/s are
1: do I have to buy USB speakers as the cube has no built in audio out, can I use the headphone out of the Cubes USB amp, ow ill this be too quite.
2: Will addin an iSub improve overall volume?
3: Do I really need to just buy some soundticks (the old USB version) or does anyone have any other suggestions for speakers for the Cube that are louder or "project more/further" than the Cubes standard sphere's.

I'm on a budget (I know I've left it late NAD I'm a scrooge!) so please take this into considertaion if possible.
Would even be cheapet to get a basic USB audio out device and normal headphone jack connecting speakers?

P.S They really need to match or look good with the Cube.

The soundsticks are a great choice for the Cube.

The current Soundsticks II are not USB. They have an analogue input.

Anyways, I use an iMic to get analogue sound output. The Soundsticks II should work well with the iMic.

Right, that is why you should get the soundsticks 1.
