The sound on the G5 iMac is adequate and nothing more.
It's nowhere near as good as the sound from the ball speakers, and it's not as loud either.
For me it does not matter as I play music via iTunes and AirTunes to my Airport Express.
I certainly good enough for day to day usage, but I would not want to listen to a DVD all the way through on the internal speakers, the sound quality is fine, just not got the power.
There is no bass whatsoever on the G5 iMac, I may did out my iSub to se if that has a positive effect.
I suppose the material that the sound is bouncing off can affect it as well, mine is on a glass table.

I think the sound with iTunes is fine. Especially for personal use. Certainly more base than our old G3 iMac and more than my PB. Ours sits in our kitchen and completely fills it with sound.
However, if you want to watch DVD movies, you better get speakers or use your headphones. The sound is just way to weak even at full power. This was also true with my other macs. I think it has something to do with Apples DVD player.

Even on full volume I find the output very weak from the iMac G5, no bass at all.

Even when you turn the volume up on your iMac and and all the way up on iTunes?

All volumes up to full level, not very loud at all.

Very nice picture on the wall. You hid the wires very well. Good lighting.
I hope that my office is as nice as yours.

TiG4, nice lamp; I almost didn't even see the soundsticks.
After seeing all of your clean and spotless rooms, I had to take a picture that doesn't show the floor. Still a mess on the desk though.

I am glad that ya'll like the setup pic.
storer : With a nick like that, your office should be spick and span  Everything should have a proper *stor*age space - that'll keep the clutter organised.
iPoder : Lighting is imperative - helps me scrutinise 'em bills too before any online payments. BTW, if you are interested in the art, here is the link to the artist's website:
NOLA artist Shakor
iLikebeer : The "titanium-themed" lamp is from Hurwitz Mintz in New Orleans. They have really neat home furnishings. As for Soundsticks II, I really like the additional touch-based volume control on the right satellite.

TIG4! Be careful with that lamp! It's very close to the iMac and I'm sure it generates a lot of heat after using it for a while. I would put it a bit more to the right, then you'll be fine

 Enough lies!

Did your iMac mate with your sound-stick and give birth to that lamp?

Hey Dex13, much appreciated. I just got back on the internet 2 weeks ago after 2 years without. Still trying to figure out some of the little things.

the wireless keyboard and mouse really make the setups look sharp.

was wondering if they where going to put an ipod dock on the imacg5 just to reduce all those wires? maybe one on the stnad right at the back so you could still store your keyboard or even better still recharge the batteries for that too?
What do people think?
