Audioengine is perhaps best known for its critically acclaimed, self-powered, desktop monitors, such as the mid-sized model A5 ($349/pair) and the smaller but-in its way-no less impressive model A2 ($199/pair).

I love these speakers. They put out of great sound for their diminutive size and are front firing so placement is really easy....against wall, on a desk, on bookshelf, mounted on wall (there are threads for mounts on bottom), dorm room, etc.

The P4 optimizes compactness. For fuller base, consider the HDP6, not these little gems. 4" woofers can only do so much. That said, these speakers are superb! Bought as B speakers for Yamaha A-S301 amp.

Front-ported, which makes a lot of sense for speakers designed actually to fit on a bookshelf; No frivolous grilles to remove and then throw away or stash in a closet never to be used again-thank you, Audioengine! Available in classic, Audiophile matte black finish.

The truly performance-enhancing, dapper, tilted stands which Audioengine makes for these speakers are horribly overpriced; I was glad I had some rewards points in my Crutchfield account to blow on these little stands.

Used in the office with the desktop amp (N22), great sound. Lacks bass from a bigger speaker.

Excellent as front / surround speaker in a 5.1 set

Good Power Output; Great Sound Quality

So glad I went with the bamboo design. It's simple, elegant, and most importantly sounds good.

Enceintes compactes,avec une sonorité exceptionnelles dans le spectre mid-high. Il faut cependant hausser la prédominance des basses dans l'égalisation des fréquences ou encore ajouter un sub-woofer.

The AP4s have plenty to recommend them. Put them on your shortlist

Usefully small; exemplary finish at the money; sweetly articulate midrange; good integration

Fractionally bright at the top end; slightly inflexible at the bottom
