Sweet Sound of Audioengine A5 Speakers

By Jason Dunn (digitalhomethoughts.com)

Audioengine might not be a company you've heard of, but they're one of the best-kept secrets in audio: the A5 is their first, and flagship, product and it sets the quality bar for the company. These speakers, while expensive compared to mainstream ...

Crisp, clear, powerful sound ; Decent bass response despite a lack of subwoofer ; Dual audio inputs and USB device charging

The lack of a sub-woofer will be missed if you're a bass head ; Weight and size pushes the limit of what would be considered a "bookshelf" speaker

. The song has lush acoustic guitars, but it was also recorded in such a way that all of the natural sounds of playing acoustic guitar are there: the sound of fingers moving to different positions, the sound of the pick (or fingernails) hitting the ...

On the floor, with my head between the speakers, I listened to my library for hours. I heard things I'd never heard before: spittle hitting the mic, catching on its wires; each of the condu...

Audioengine A5 Speaker System

By Michael Brown (maximumpc.com)

The Audioengine 5 Speaker System has us all giddy. It's the closest thing to perfect we've seen--er, heard--in awhile.

Incredible sound from small packages ; built-in USB charger for your MP3 player ; AC-outlet in back for a wireless audio streaming box

They're a bit large for a crowded desktop

The Audioengine 5 boasts a long list of high-end traits: While many cabinets in this price range are fabricated from injection-molded plastic, the Audioengine 5's are constructed of one-inch-thick MDF painted an attractive semigloss black (or white). ...

The Audioengine 5 is not only one of the best-sounding speaker systems we¡¯ve...

Audioengine A5 Black (Pr) 2-way Powered Speaker System

By (become.com)

I bought a pair of the A5s two months ago, after reading the many rave reviews here. Alas, two nights ago, one of the speakers stopped working - at least the woofer did. I envisioned the usual nightmare of having to ship it somewhere for a repair. I phone...

Audioengine A5 Black (Pr) 2-way Powered Speaker System

By (become.com)

Absolutely fantastic! I've connected these to my PS3 and use them for music, movies, and games. These are really the only speakers I've seen for less than $1000 that still let you feel like an audiophile. The only thing is, now my 128 and 192 kbps mp3 fil...

Audioengine A5 Black (Pr) 2-way Powered Speaker System

Thanks to all the positive reviews, I went ahead and got the A5s factory-direct. Cannot say enough about the sound coming out of these smallish speakers, I'm beginning to re-think my "Made in China" preconceptions...very strong buy....

Manufacturer's Description

Audioengine 5 is a full size speaker system in a bookshelf-sized package. Internal power amps eliminate the need to connect the Audioengine 5 to a bulky stereo receiver or power amplifier. And with built-in subwoofer ports, the Audioengine 5 adds incredible low-end bass without the need for an external subwoofer.
