Posted this in Wifi first but it's really about sound, so'll try it here (since nobody reads the wifi threads):
OK, just about to get a new iMac (for aesthetic and box-reduction purposes more than anything else, since OSX is the work of the devil). Anyhoo, my current kitchen music setup is PC into a Denon mini feeding a pair of Diamond 9.1s (yes my PC is in the kitchen), but these have to go for the same reasons. It says the iMac has "a 24w digital amplifier" - is it possible to use this to power external speakers, such as a Tangent Evo (everything has to be white)? Or is there no speaker output and I have to use an audio out to say, some Audioengine A2s?
Note that sound quality does not need to be fabulous, it just needs to be *there*. ATC actives out of the question, sadly.......
