I'm a bit wary of built-in speakers, as a rule. I have two 17" LCD monitors with built-in speakers that I've used, maybe, twice. They're terrible. Horrible. I wouldn't wish them on anyone with an appreciation for music, or sound in general.
So, I was a bit pessimistic about the iMac's built-in speakers. I figured they'd be so-so, but that I'd probably end up hooking up a normal set of speakers to the iMac to get decent-quality sound.
I'm pleased to say, my pessimism was unwarranted. I just started streaming some tunes from Magnatune using the plain 'ol iMac speakers, and it sounds groovy.
