I've heard of those too, the ones that act as their own sound card. Another
idea is a USB sound card if one didn't have RCA jacks or some other better
kind of connection. On the Mac Book, that's how it's probably required to
get a microphone in, at least when running Windows, as the only choices for
input are optical or line level, and I don't think you could just get a mic
with an optical output.

Also it is important to remember that the sound quality will be bad if the
source is bad. Many computer speakers works from the headphone socket of a
sound card. If the quality of the sound card is bad the speakers will sound
bad.
There is something to be said for those speakers who have internal DACS and
use a usb interface. At least test results sith them will be more or less
the same.

Yes! I did read about the background hiss but there's none of that here
whatever and I particularly looked for that, as one reviewer commented
"you'd expect better from a top of the line speaker system", I can only
think of a few reasons as to why some people may be getting background hiss.
Firstly I use good quality shielded leads between computer and speaker
system, the lead that comes with the Altec Lansing - whilst able to do the
job admirably in most cases - is quite thin thus interference may leak in
through the lead if some people ar running their computer systems or speaker
system near say ADSL modems, other switch mode supplies etc.
Background noise through the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra system here
is none, dead silence.

Some reviewers report the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra produces a
noticeable background hiss. Have you experienced this? Why do you
suppose some users have this problem and others don't?

Work with what? I have only had the control 2.4g speakers which are
RF speakers, one is active with it's own amplifier and the other is
passive. I haven't heard of the "On-Tour" speakers. I can only say
that I am mightily impressed with the quality of JBL and when the day
comes to replace my Mission 735 floor standing speakers, I will spend
the necessary money to get a high end pair of JBL speakers as a
replacement. The Control 2.4g speakers are a perfect match for
working with my PC. Incidentally, they also have an input for line
in so you don't have to use the RF feature and also it has an output
for a sub woofer and I've linked up a 10 inch warfdale subwoofer to
work with them but if they were to be used as monitors for editing then
there is no need for a subwoofer. Walter.

Would the JBL On-tour speakers work?

Hi. Why not try the JBL Control 2.4g cordless speakers. The pair I
have are phenomenal and I love listening to them, I never get listener
fatigue.
They should cost around $210 and if you try them out you won't be
sorry, they are very small but you will listen to the power and
volume that comes from them and then feel their size and disbelieve
what you are hearing could possibly come from speaker so small. They
also come with wall mounting brackets which allows you to adjust
their angle in relationship to your listening position. Walter.

I have a computer at which I mostly edit field recordings I have made
and capture and edit audio streams. The speakers I had died and I am
looking for a pair of powered speakers that have a neutral sound that
I can use to edit, mix and make spoken word recordings. I want to
hear quality audio rather than the crappie speakers at the computer
store. Yet, I don't need the fancy $800 studio monitors either.
I would appreciate any suggestions for affordable, but good sounding
powered speakers for editing spoken word recordings.
