Audioengine Audioengine 2
(1 items) I've made no secret of my love for Audioengine's Audioengine 5 powered speakers. That $349 system, although lacking an iPod dock and remote control, packs glorious sound quality (and volume) via two mid-sized, bookshelf speakers.

Audioengine A2
If the only prerequisite for desktop speakers were size, then the Audioengine A2s could confidently look forward to retaining their 2008 What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Award as Best Budget Desktop Speakers. Measuring just 15 x 10 x 13cm, they're almost frivolously small.
Pros:
- Compact
- nicely finished
- fearsomely dynamic and attacking given their size
Cons:
- Some midrange coarseness
- an expected lack of scale

Audioengine 2
Audioengine makes relatively affordable speakers for audiophiles, but the Audioengine 2 represents something of a break: $200 computer speakers for sound snobs. There's no fancy styling, no subwoofer, and no remote control-all you really get is stellar sound.
Pros:
- Accurate, pristine audio performance
- Full-bodied but not overpowering bass
- Handles high volumes well
- Attractive design
Cons:
- Large footprint
- Not for those who seek subwoofer rumble
- No remote or extra features

If you're serious about music but you currently listen to tunes through a pair of tinny, cheapo PC speakers, check out Audioengine's $319.00 A2 speakers. They can fill a room with sound without taking up much physical space.
Pros:
- Accurate music reproduction
Cons:
- Need a subwoofer if you're after tooth-rattling bass for movies and games

Very Nice
The AudioEngine A2 speakers are a really nice powered set. I have them setup at work and am using a Schiit Magni & Modi dac and preamp. The sound is accurate if the A2s are set to low or medium volume, but distortion is introduced if theyre pushed too hard which is hardly ever the case in my office.

Excellent PC speakers get slightly better
In terms of competitors, there are plenty of other swanky multimedia speakers out there, several of which we haven't reviewed. One set we did review, the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1, looks great but the A2+ sounds better and costs half the price. Other competitors incorporate Bluetooth connections.
Pros:
- The Audioengine A2+ is compact set of attractively style powered stereo speakers that delivers impressive sound for its size
- This new "plus" version adds a digital USB connection, an output for an optional subwoofer to the existing two audio inputs, and a redesigned smaller power connector
Cons:
- The speakers lack a remote control
- the volume control is inconveniently located on the backside
- and there's no way to toggle between inputs.

Audioengine A2+multimedia speakers review: Excellent PC speakers get slightly better
While they'll cost you $50 more, Audioengine A2+ multimedia speakers improve on an already great product (the A2) with slightly better sound when hooked up to your computer via a new USB connection. We're fans of Audioengine's original 2 series speaker, the A2, which came out a few years ago and retails for $199.99. Now the company's released the A2+, an enhanced version of the same speaker that adds a USB digital converter, so you can plug the speakers right into the USB port on your computer.
Pros:
- The Audioengine A2+ is compact set of attractively style powered stereo speakers that delivers impressive sound for its size
- This new "plus" version adds a digital USB connection, an output for an optional subwoofer to the existing two audio inputs, and a redesigned smaller power connector.
Cons:
- The speakers lack a remote control, the volume control is inconveniently located on the backside, and there's no way to toggle between inputs
- The Audioengines are also a bit pricey compared with less refined PC speakers.

Can't be Beat.
Pair these or the A2 (no USB) with a good DAC, one that has a remote and you'll love the sound of your digital music collection.
Pros:
- Amazing sound for the price
Cons:
- Volume control is in the back but my DAC has a remote
