Yes, what DuckieTigger said. I'm no audiophile, so for me it's mostly price, but I also recognize that if I wanted to I could attach a killer ($$) sound system to it.

It's just much more flexible to have the speakers located where they're acoustically most efficient and the microphone where it's most responsive.
