The sound from my iMac is actually pretty good, but for parties, I’ve long wanted a better speaker system that can really blast my iTunes tracks across the house, vaporizing any plaster that stands in the way. There are plenty of good options around, but I don’t like how they would disrupt the minimalist, contained aesthetic of my office.
The Tango Bar looks like just what I might want. It’s a USB powered sound bar that contains six, perfectly self-contained speakers, and looks great sitting beneath an iMac, matching its clean lines. And you can even use the build in 3.5mm jack to amplify your iPhone or iPad in a pinch.
Gorgeous, and not too pricey at just $100. Someone add this to my Christmas list.

It don’t even say if it fits the 21.5 or 27 inch model…
In less than one minute, I found this:
21″ x3″x2″ …fits perfectly with 21″ iMac.
I’m sure that it “fits” a 27″ iMac too. But it seems that it is not as wide as the 27″ iMac.
The 21″ iMac is 20.8″ wide, the 27″ is 25.6″. The sound dial on the side glows and can’t be dimmed or turned off.
I went to their website and couldn’t find it. Still can’t.
Sorry if it was so obvious…
I like my solution better. Fits my 27″ :)
my best friend’s mother makes $73 an hour on the Laptop. She has been fired for 5 months but last month her check was $8294 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it on this web site http://MakeCash1.com
holy mama…!
They failed the Apple test. They made somthing that appears to match the iMac but then put a stupid logo on the side and an ugly knob on the side. If they want to sell these they should address these two issues. Make it clean and cripst and it will sell. Put your stupid logo on it which is nothing more than advertising and you will fail.
Airport Express with optical out to a DAC FTWMF.
It’s almost as subtle. *snicker* RIght on!
