Some reviews

Great Speakers, April 2, 2011 By  Ben (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Audioengine 2 - PC multimedia speakers - 30 Watt (total) - 2-way - satin black (Electronics) Compared to other speakers in this price range (150-200$) these speakers stand above the fray. The sound is so clear and nuanced and I don't have to turn up the volume to hear the details. Great for listening to all kinds of music (classical, jazz, electronic, rock, r&b, and more). For computer speakers there is no comparison unless you move up to a different price range, start including amplifiers, and the like (e.g., an Audioengine 5 system will likely be my next purchase when I can afford it). You will not be disappointed with these!

Rediculously Good, March 5, 2011 By  Press250 (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Audioengine 2 - PC multimedia speakers - 30 Watt (total) - 2-way - satin black (Electronics) Over the years, I've run the gamut from mid-range audiophile gear to iPod-class gear. So I have a fair appreciation for the wide range of audio quality. After spending some time with the Audioengine 2's, I can truly say they are "ridiculously good." Why ridiculously good? * Sound quality is the best I've heard from such a small size. * Sound levels (without distortion) are far higher than I've heard from a such a small size. * Build quality is outstanding, period. At this price, all the more remarkable. * Bottom-line value: excellent. I am using the A2's as monitors, connected to both my PC and Sonos. The "mixing" of the two inputs is exactly what I need for such a setup. The soundstage in front of the PC is, well, ridiculously good. As a crazy experiment, I connected the A2's to my AV setup. While I would never say that the A2's are in "home theater" territory (ridiculously good as they are, there are limits) they managed to fill my 12x15 foot living room surprisingly well. I bring this experiment up for a reason: if you are not dissatisfied with your television's speakers but you are not ready to "do" home theater, the A2's deliver a serious upgrade at a very modest price. Crazy? No, just ridiculous. ;-) 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers, April 2, 2011 By  Ben (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
