Alright, First of all, I'd like to say that I have both a Dual G5 and an AMD x2 4400 system going. For some reason, when using these speakers on both PC and Mac, there is quite a difference in sound quality. On the PC, these speakers do not work as well, or as loud and appear to garble very high and low frequencies. The HK Sound Sticks 1 were made for mac, and Harmon Kardon has made no claims that they work on a PC at all. I might be wrong about this, but it appears that you are a PC user (the striking connotations behind the word Machead gave it away). I will agree that in my field of work, I wouldn't use these to reproduce digital audio from a windows computer, but their high levels of fidelity on a mac are noteworthy. I hope my experiences with these speakers help clarify that they're NOT made for Windows use!
