Hi,

I was watching Inside Man the other day, and there's one scene where a main character is in her office, and she just happens to own a PowerMac with a 30" ACD and some speakers to either side of the display - ones which match the brushed aluminum of both the display and Mac very well. I'm planning on picking up both a Mac Pro and a 30" ACD sometime in the near future, and I wanted it to be as complete and matching as possible! I think these speakers would look great.

Does anyone know which they are?


And for one that doesn't have it highlighted, for better viewing...



Here are some other shots without highlighting, with different angles of the speakers...





Anyway, if those end up being crap, do you guys have any suggestions for speakers that go well aesthetically with the Mac Pro & ACD? Honestly, and you may consider me weird, sound quality takes a backseat to them matching. Obviously I don't want something crap, but I don't mind if they're not the best, as long as they match nicely.

Can anyone confirm this? Also, has anyone here had any personal experience with these guys? All the reviews seem very positive, which is great!

Yup! Altec Lansing FX-6021. I posted a little mini review of them a few days ago. -> http://forums.macnn.com/57/periphera...sing-fx-6021s/

I wouldn't suggest buying them from Apple, you can get them at least $70 cheaper (including shipping) elsewhere.

That's awesome! Amazon has them for $169.99, making them an even better deal.

Thanks!

Nice speakers. I have a set next to my PowerMac.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
