Good question, does anyone have both for a comparison?
I have trouble imagining the smaller ones could match the performance of the larger version. But I'm old school size matters/build your own school of thought when it comes to speaker design. Mass and materials choice for the case used to be very important. Do modern dinky plastic form over function lookin' speakers outperform, match or fall short of the monsters of yesteryear?
Most importantly, has anyone identified a suitable or improved performance driver for the AppleDesigns? Both of mine are rotted/blown. That would be a major concern for me. I saw the auction too, but don't recall if they tested good. Lack of an AC adapter shouts "untested" with a hint of the rot problem to me. I can't think of any other reason for the Power Supplies being available without the speakers. Parting out peripherals doesn't make a whole lot of sense otherwise.
