Audioengine A5+ Premium Powered Speaker Pair

It's been 11 years and these A5+ speakers are still going great. Still loving it. Has travelled with me across continents, supports 110 and 240 volts. The treble and balance is great with decent musical bass. You can always add a sub if you want more bass. Great detail and sparkle in the highs

Convenient to use. Don't need an amp (they have their own). Fantastic sound for all types of music. Small, discrete. I have had mine for 5 years now and I love them. There's a reason Audio engine haven't bothered updating them over the past 5-6 years: they can't really be improved upon. For the price (INR 20K I paid 5 years back) they are simply unbelievable - they sound better than my previous speakers which cost several times more. One of the rare times in life when you don't get what you pay for - you get far more. Not often that happens, but here it did. I run mine through an Apple airport router (which they are basically designed) and through an Audioengine DAC, which I'd recommend as it soups up the bass as well as improves the overall sound. An easy 5/5 rating

Product is good. Sound quality is superb but the seller is listed the product at more than double price. Not justified.

As on today they are sold for $319 only.. i wish could have it here for the same price.. but there is way out..

They are the best speakers in class, but they should cost around 26-27k, not more than that. Would love to buy them for that price!!!

Bien reçu votre envoi. Un essai rapide semble tout à fait satisfaisant. A voir à l'usage. Cordialement. CAUQUIL

Sound is such a subjective matter so please bear that in mind in reading my review. See if you think what I like and listen to might concur with your own personal tastes. Background. I own a high end stereo system probaly costing $30K that I never use. Also a Bose 5.1 surround sound system for the TV and DVD's. And for my 2nd computer a Klipsch THX 2.1 system. Also a Klipsch player for an iPod. Of couse they all have their unique sounds - well the expensive stereo system has no sound as of now as I felt the speakers (very, very large KEF's) were not sounding right and even after a sound engineer told me they were fine my ear said "No" because I knew how they could sound from a class A amp - so I've listened to no quality music system these last few years. I don't class the Bose system as suitable for serious music listening, but they do OK for movies. Oh, and my choice for headphones are 2 pairs of Sennheiser. So given that background lets get to the business. In my opinion, and for my taste, these Audioengine A5+ speakers + S8 woofer are remarkable. I would describe the sound a neutral (hard to find these days). That does not mean there is no bass but its only there when it should be and then its tight and does not sound like its being played through a pillow. This is the kind of sound that is not tiring and can be listened to for hours on end. When I first connected the Audioengine system up, by mistake, I did not connect the woofer. Even without it the A5+ speakers sound good, really good, but adding the woofer does make a difference for sure, and I think if you are after quality sound it is needed. Of course it can be added later as funds allow because just the A5+'s are good on their own. For a low priced system the Klipsch system replaced a pair of Bose (no woofer) on my 2nd computer and were noticable cleaner sounding with better bass because of their woofer, than the pair of Bose with no woofer. For a low priced system I could certainly live with the Klipsch. But my listening habbits have changed over 40 years and I now spend many hours a day working in front of a computer at home. That's the only time I get to listen to music - as well as in the car. I hadn't heard good sound for so long I decided to try the Audioengine system for the computer but was really blown away by how good it was. I didn't really trust the many good reviews I'd seen. The stereo image is so good with the A5+'s they create a very wide sound stage that seems to emanate slighting above and between the 2 speakers. I could hear singers taking a breath and new sounds on a violin that the bow made as it was pulled across the strings, that had not been there before. Bear in mind I am feeding only lossless MP3 files played out of iTunes - not vinyl tracks played on my Linn LP12 turntable. Are they perfect - no that's not possible for just over $700 (I am adding the DAC and stands now so will be into the system for close to $1,000) but in terms of the sound quality at this price they are quite remarkable. Beautifully packaged even the UPS driver who bounced the box down his truck steps could not hurt them as they sit a couple of inches inside their box surrounded by foam packaging. They are heavy and look like a quality product that the manufacturer has been proud to produce. Like all good speaker systems they sound better loud as you can feel the bass. It's tempting to set the woofer volume too high but playing the system loud then over cooks the bass and it looses something. The music is not balanced. I also had a little recording business in my youth so became very critical on how sound was mixed. What would be nice is a low volume setting on the remote that boosts the bass when playing at low volume. The woofer has a Phase control so the woofer cone can sync with the speaker cones to improve bass sound. Also a Crossover knob to set where in the frequency range the woofer comes in - just a matter of setting where you like it. And then a Volume control. Again I say don't be tempted to set this too high. I would set it where it sounds right then turn down just a hair. If you play at really high volume then it probably needs setting even lower. After 50 hours of burning in they can only improve. I wish I had gotten better with age! So yea I like em very much. One of my better buying choices.

La verdad es que son una maravilla. Las tengo en el living room y 10/10. Están conectadas con un ecualizador y el audio es mucho mejor…

These are the best speakers I have ever heard. The sound is incredible, they are beautifully built, very solid and amazing quality. Be warned there is no protection grill so if you have a pet that likes to scratch things you should avoid this. Also note that these speakers need 30-50 hours of play time to warm up so the sound quality wont be great at first but will get much better the more you use it! Everything you possibly need comes included (cables, travel bags, remote) and everything is of very high quality and overall these speakers sound AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend and if they are too expensive for you Audioengine also makes the A2+ which are smaller and cheaper and apparently just as good. Also I just want to add that these speakers have a built in amp so they will work with any turntable! I just plugged my turntable directly into the speakers and the quality is fantastic but it doesn't play very loud so you might want to buy a pre amp as well!

Qualità audio superba!! Per avere davvero il top converrebbe prendere il sub woofer abbinato, ma già così suonano alla grande!
