Latest is the Logitech Speaker System Z623, a 2.1 setup that's been THX certified so you can probably have more than a little confidence in the quality of the audio (we say that not having listened to it ourselves, of course).

The not-so-great thing about Macs is that third-party accessory manufacturers tend to view Apple owners as an ideal market to be milked, at least financially-speaking.
