Awesome Speakers [Posted on 2008-02-11]
I got these speakers delivered about a month ago now.
I was a bit worried since the temperature was -15 degrees the day they were delivered and I didn't know how long they had been sitting in the cold. The speakers were not affected though.
First of all, packaging was great. The speakers were very secured and everything in the box was organized. Creating the bags for the speakers and cords is a very nice touch and adds class to these.
The speakers sound awesome. Not in a 5-channel, million watt, blow your socks off kind of way. Don't get me wrong, these speakers can be played plenty loud without distortion, but they are so so subtle at the same time. They really shine when music such as classical, jazz, and blues is played in my opinion. They give me the feeling that I'm right there in a studio or front row at a show/concert. I have only listened to compressed music so far via an iPod, and they are still unbelievable.
Some people might say they are a bit pricey, but I think they are actually a good deal. I am no audiophile, but from a pure music listening perspective, I prefer these over my 1k+ Onkyo system.
I highly recommend these speakers.
BEST SPEAKERS UNDER $1000 [Posted on 2008-02-16]
These speakers have changed the way I listen to my music - - I can now "feel" the music. They project the sound into the middle of the room unlike any other speaker I've ever heard. Every nuance is crystal clear, and truly, you will experience your music in new and fantastic ways.
Until I bought these, I never knew how much I was missing in my music-listening experience. Buy these Audioengine A5 speakers and their smaller A2, and you will have the best speakers reasonable money can buy. My only regret is not having bought them sooner. I now have 3 pairs for every room of the house!
Great Speakers [Posted on 2008-04-06]
Great Speakers, they are amazing. Just read all the previous reviews they are all pretty accurate.
The only negative things I can say about these is that they dont have enough input options and they are prone to cell phone interference. Every now and then they make a popping sound when my cell phone is in the room and my roomates iphone makes them go crazy if he gets too close to the speakers. Other than that they are fantastic speakers and well worth the price, I love mine.
The best I've come across [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I just received these today and they are hands down incredible. The minute I plugged them in and heard the imaging, flat response, and clarity I knew they were keepers. They look great, come with all the plugs and cords you might need and make me want to listen to songs I haven't listened to in ages just to hear the nuances I was missing from my boombox.
I listened to a whole lot of ipod/small speaker systems and these are the best, IMHO. The bass response is fine, more than I expected, and eliminates the need for a subwoofer. Check online for endless rave reviews from pro audio reviewers if you want more tech on these.
You could pay almost twice as much for the B&W Zeppelin and not get the stereo separation you can with these. Plus, the Zeppelin is a big honkin' thing on your desk or shelf. I like simple clean design and high quality sound. You don't get a dock but you can plug in your ipod and power it from the speakers w/o a dock. They come with a 30 day trial purchase and a 3 year warranty.
Best Speakers in this catagory. Period. [Posted on 2008-06-23]
Yes, these speakers live up to all the raving reviews from reputable sources.
Don't be fooled by the marketing of these speakers as an ipod accessory. These are REAL speakers. I have never heard powered speakers aimed at the digital consumer market that sound this good. Combined with lossless compression and a decent sound card, they are perfect for my desktop. If you are looking for good sound for your PC on a limited budget, there is nothing that comes close to these things. Thats right, this is a bargain. The alternative is to get studio monitors, or start looking into an amp/receiver and passive speakers. Both of which will cost you a lot more money.
