" ... For small speakers these sure do give a big sound. ... "
" ... The only advantage of the Companion 20s over these is the separate volume know that you can place anywhere. ... "
" ... I didn't expect this loud of a bass and overall sound. ... "
" ... They have an amazing sound stage for such compact, low footprint speakers. ... However, these babies are optimized for near field experience (naturally for PC speakers) and do not sound so great from across the room. ... However, in the process of upgrading to the A5+ I discovered the JBL LS350 which sound great no matter where you are in the room. ... "
" ... I love that the Volume control is located at the rear of the speaker. ... But even as small as they are, they fill my small home office with sensational music without compromising on frequency response and depth. ... "
" ... And if your like me and in a small area (apartment), the base is WAY more than enough without a subwoofer. ... "
" ... I especially like the fidelity they have, they sound awesome at any volume setting - subjectively speaking, the sound is "full" and "big" even at low volumes. ... "

" ... Very clear sound but a bit weak on the bass. ... Suggest getting an additional powered bass. ... "
" ... I was looking for smaller computer speakers without a sub. ... "
" ... And if your like me and in a small area (apartment), the base is WAY more than enough without a subwoofer. ... Personally I think the base on these is twice as good as the old $60 set I had with a sub. ... "
" ... Bass is, of course light, but still there, way more than expected from such little guys. ... "

" ... But in my opinion they hold there own in overall music with bang for your buck value. ... "
" ... In this price range, there are not many small ones. ... "
" ... At $250 these seem pricey, but I can guarantee that they are worth every penny! ... "
" ... but they still have very positive aspects worth considering ... If you watch the prices and can get these for under $200, they seem a much better value for the output (to me). ... "

" ... Simple set-up and integration to my home computer system. ... "
" ... I've been listening to music in my home office on my MacBook and am kinda blown away by how great these speakers sound. ... "
" ... One thing to mention that I haven't seen elsewhere is that the DAC in the A2+ works great with Android devices so you can plug the speakers in via a USB-OTG cable and get higher quality sound than you would get with a headphone cable. ... Most likely this would also work with Apple iOS devices but I don't have the equipment to test. ... "
" ... In brilliant red, the A2+ adds a stunning splash of color to my desktop. ... It balances my 27” iMac. ... "
" ... multiple quality inputs w/ variable output for sub or additional devices ... If you are adding them to any laptop or all in one (iMac, etc. ... If you intend to watch a lot of movies, these are a good addition to a 3.1/5.1/7.1 output, paired with a good center soundbar or speaker. ... "
" ... I have Bowers and Wilkins home theatre setup, which is fantastic - so I almost went towards the MM1 speakers, but these Audioengine a+ caught my attention because of the high praise. ... Easy to connect, USB goes to PC, power, and then each speaker connects to the other. ... "
" ... I love the sound but be warned that if you are using these in a nearfield setup (such as at a computer desk), placement and angling will be key for imaging and sound quality. ... "
" ... Once paired with a sub, they are great. ... "
