Resembling regular two-way hi-fi speakers the compact Audioengine 2 speakers bear the proper build-quality hallmarks of serious audio components. Read our Audioengine 2 review to find out more - REVISED 10 APRIL 2013

I replaced my old Yamaha YST-10 speakers with the Audioengine A2. Like most people, I based it on glowing reviews all over the Internet, from users and publications alike. I am extremely happy with these. I use them as desktop speakers on my iMac.

I read all the reviews of these speakers wasn't sure whether to but another Sonos Play 5 but I really wanted some hifi type speakers either side of my PC monitor. Well I can confirm all the positive reviews, great sound from my laptop, iPod touch and Sonos Connect (use the variable output so you can...

As long as you know what you're getting, these fit the bill perfectly. These aren't ghetto blasters. These aren't studio monitors. They're excellent desktop (computer) speakers. In an office at work, with others beyond the thin walls, my 2.1 system was impossible.

These are great powered speakers that fill the room. They are strong clear and fit almost anywhere. I finally dumped my old sony amp, DVD and pioneer speakers in exchange for a MacMini and a set of the powered speakers. I don't need anything else.

Great sound; small size; powerful; dual inputs

Nothing

The sound signature of these speakers are almost the same as their big brother's - warm, with a hump of emphasis on the midbass, and very smooth highs that is hard to fatigue from.

Attractive Design; Easy Setup; Easy to Mount; Good Power Output; Great Sound Quality

With small dimensions, a pretty finish, power to spare, and two accommodating inputs, Audioengine's Desktop A2 speaker system can augment several of your audio sources.
