A revelation

By Robert Holloway on January 14, 2014

Color Name: Black

For several years I have used a Cambridge Soundworks system with my Mac. I kept reading great stories about products from this company.

Background - I have been into high end stereo and home theater for many years, with Naim being my favorite brand for stereo (very expensive) - spending thousands is a part of that silly game, but it does train your ears to hear real differences in equipment.

The key criteria in a speaker for me is the ability to lock onto the rhythm through the recovery and attack of the amplifier, the timbre of vocals and the detail and placement in the overall presentation of individual instruments and voices.

I took delivery of these speakers and am shocked that $249 can deliver this level of performance. Across vocals, jazz and classical music the speakers are beyond anything i had hoped. On podcasts, voices resonate.

Hint - play through the USB input and try and have your music files in lossless (storage is so cheap these days)

Just stunned.

Note - if your idea of fidelity is a boomy presentation with loudness switched onto max, don't waste your time on these speakers. You can get that for less $$.

A2+ Rocks!

By Harpsta on November 27, 2013

Color Name: Black Verified Purchase

I'm an old audiophile and got these for my iMac. I can run the computer through my stereo via Audioengine A1 but don't always want to use my heavy amp and my Kef 104.2's for sound; sounds great but overkill and power hungry. Got the A2+ because of the USB hookup. They kick butt. Very surprise at the sound. The bass is amazing considering the size. Highs/Mids are clean as could be whether I am playing iTunes, Pandora, or gaming. Absolutely worth the money. I found tons of reviews on the A2 but nothing on the new A2+. I can only guess that with the USB input these can only only be better. Quite happy with the purchase.

Be prepared for less bass response than expected.

By Michael Donnelly on February 5, 2014

Color Name: Black Verified Purchase

First (and this is not part of my rating score), because these are magnetically shielded, the reseller had to ship via ground. No two day delivery for prime.

The built-in USB DAC is at 44khz; which is OK but not great compared to other options that are out there.

I was looking for a reasonably priced set of speakers with audiophile-level response and range. Sound is pretty good altogether, except at the low end.

According to AudioEngine's specs, the frequency response range is 65Hz-22kHz ±2.0dB
[...]

When using a tone generator on the system (connected through USB), I was able to measure the actual low end frequency response. The speakers respond well, (and beautifully linear) from about 125 HZ up to 15KHz. Upper end may be higher but I no longer hear those frequencies.)

But my issue is at the lower end. The volume tapers off quickly as you move from 125 Hz down to 100 Hz, and by 82Hz it's only 1/4 of the volume. This is in the frequency response range, and I adjusted with an EQ to match volume. When I did this, higher frequency (1KHz) sounds were noticeably distorted.

If you like classical music or anything else where bass response is important - you'll need to pair these with a subwoofer or you'll need to find a different pair of speakers.

If they'd written specs that showed the range at 110Hz-20KHz, I'd rate this 4 or 5 stars. But their specs don't match the actual performance of these speakers - and that sets an incorrect expectation with the buyer.

Really Wonderful Speakers

By AKHMN on December 28, 2013

Color Name: Black

Just got these for Christmas. Amazing sound across the many types of music I enjoy. I'm no audiophile, but I want my music to sound like the artist is playing just behind my computer screen. These speakers do that and the reproduction of the sound of voice, piano, solo cello, rock bands and multi-voiced classical music are all good. Am listening to Allegri's Miserere now: all the beautiful haunting sound. Earlier, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jussi Bjorling. Don't need loud; need good. These deliver (and they can be loud when necessary!).

Amazing sound paired with an old cheapo satellite subwoofer

By E W on March 28, 2014

Color Name: Black

Excellent sound and clarity for the size. I was debating getting the larger A5+ to get bigger sound, but I'm glad I got these instead, as they already provide more than enough volume and soundstage for my average sized living room.

However, as many have noted, the bass can indeed be a bit thin. In order to remedy this, I was debating purchasing Audioengine's own S8 subwoofer, but the price is a bit steep. I have also looked into some of the lower priced subwoofer offerings on Amazon from Polk Audio, Pioneer, and Yamaha, but their large size would partly defeat the purpose of having such a compact system as this. Also, it's not like I needed a ton of bass. Just a little bit more oomph would more than suffice.

I finally came up with a solution. I happened to have an old Cyber Acoustics CA-3602a (http://goo.gl/JQuYLg) 2:1 system lying around. These were the speakers I replaced with the A2+ because one of satellites started going bad. Luckily, I realized that the subwoofer can be detached from the satellites, and be directly plugged into the output on the back of the A2+ (you'll need an RCA to 3.5mm adaptor).

The sound is absolutely amazing! Of course, it's likely nowhere near as good as the pairing with an S8 or even the cheaper Polk Audio, Pioneer, or Yamaha subwoofers, but for now, I am more than happy with this budget setup.

Good, but not THAT good.

The A2+ has a USB input, where the A2 does not. For $50 I think that's a good deal, considering what Audiengine charges for its standalone digital-analog converter. Read more
