I n July of 2006 my review of Audioengine's A5 powered monitors ($349 per pair) caused quite a stir, as many discussion board members - after reading my review - bought a set and came away impressed.

Small dimensions, a pretty finish, power to spare, and two accommodating inputs, you can be sure Audioengine's Desktop A2 speaker system will augment your CD player, DVD player, computer, game console, portable music player, or any other product with a mini-jack or RCA output.

Beautiful appearance; Great frequency response; Strong bass output; Nice warranty and return policy; Portability

High treble; but not loud enough; Inconvenient volume knob placement; No speaker covers

If we sound critical, it's because the look – and the price – of these mini monitors so strongly recalls regular hi-fi speakers. They offer a neat physical presence, and some of the benefits of well-engineered hi-fi loudspeakers, although midband openness and stereo soundstaging didn't quite match...

Been eyeing these for a long time and honestly compared to a lot of the speakers on the market and price you can get one that is better. But like I said I've eyed these for a loooooong time. It's honestly the best I've used so far hands down. Yes, a little pricey but honestly worth the money.

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.

I've never given much of a fig either way about computer speakers. Oh, I know the gamers treasure a rumblin', tumblin', stumblin' sound system, all the better to capture the Birth of the Universe when Gonthrax the Inevitable pounds the Sacred Hammer of Flangedoodle . . . sigh.

"When the folks at Audioengine offered to send me their new A2 powered speaker system for review I have to admit that I hesitated for a couple of days in saying yes. In photos the A2's looked very similar to the company's larger, more expensive speaker system, the A5, which I had already reviewed...

This is a Quick Look of AudioEngine's latest set of speakers the A2's . I've previously reviewed the "big brother" of these speakers, the A5's, and I was extremely impressed with them. Would these smaller speakers deliver the same calibre of sound as the bigger and more expensive A5's?
