The 12" Aluminum's speakers actually have midrange and something almost passing for bass, and sound far richer, at about the same vollume as those of the Pismo. I am comparing them side by side, and the Pismo's 2 speakers don't come close to the sound provided by the 12" Al's 3 (2 regular and one midrange that Apple misnames a subwoofer).
