Hi! Up until now I would have thought that sound devices you attach to your computer don’t have any baring on its performance? Well it seems I’ve been proven wrong and I’ll explain why. Up until last Wednesday I was using a pair of Logitech Stand-Alone $20 USB speakers with my Mac, not for music enjoyment primarily rather for the output of Voiceover, the speakers were small and could be easily placed near me on the desktop. One of the problems I was having with my Mac at that time - and had for as long as I could remember - was Voiceover inexplicably crashing for no apparent reason so when this happened the obvious and only option was to restart the Mac and wonder just how long I’d have to do some work before Voiceover crashed again. That seems to have all changed since Wednesday morning when I disconnected the Logitech speakers and connected the B&W MM1 speaker system, I’ve had no Voiceover crashes since that time and of course my ears are keeping the benefits of a much better clarity from Voiceover. as for the Logitech speakers? They’ve been put away and will probably never get used often again though I have to admit that they’re worth every bit of $20 just for the convenience factor, put them in a bag with your laptop and you have reasonable sound whoever you go without power cords attached etc.
