Bass boost?

Hello all......

Just got my third iMac, a lovely 24" one.... he he

No dead pixels or dark corners. The hard drive is the most noisy I have had on a mac, but no fan noise though. I did get the 500gb, don't know if that makes a difference.

Anyway, only thing I am a lil dissapointed with is the bass on the speakers, both my 17" G5 and 20" G5 had better bass. Anyone else have an opinion?

While the bass is obviously not as good as my JBL Creature II speakers (since it has its own sub woofer), i have to say i am pleasantly surprised with the kind of sounds i get from its built-in speakers. They blow my titanium powerbook's speakers away completely.

But, I too am a Bass junkie, so I use the JBL's when i need to feel my music. For all other purposes, the built-in speakers are great.

Something worth trying is an add on equalizer(software) such as iWOW. I notice a difference in bass performance when using it. You can find this product at the apple downloads ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/iwow.html) and it ,of course, has a demo mode so you can try it before you buy it. Hope this helps.
