For those looking for speakers that perform well and don't take up too much room, the XtremeMac Tango Bar is a great choice.

The XtremeMac Tango Bar is very similar to the [Logitech's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-computer-speakers) Laptop Speaker Bar, only it's bigger and is built specifically for the home. It takes on a [slender bar form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kef-xio) that fits easily under the monitor which means more space and less cables. This is USB powered, but don't let that dissuade you because XtremeMac promises that it'll deliver "twice the output power of most traditional USB speakers." The Tango Bar also packs [stereo dome tweeters, midrange drivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora4) and dual passive radiators. Other details include volume control on the side and connections for headphones and audio input.
