" ... They sound great for the price ... "
" ... The wood finish is beautiful, and they sound clear, crisp and balanced. ... "
" ... Formerly I was using the Bose Companion 20 speakers and obviously the Audioengine blow the Bose away. ... (I use one set in a small bathroom without the subwoofer.) ... "
" ... Excellent sound for the small footprint. ... "
" ... One of the best values in Audio. ... "
" ... I looked at over twenty different speakers from $200 to $1000. ... They are great speakers in looks and sound. ... "
" ... They sound phenomenal. ... "
" ... I'm not too hung up on audio as far as other essentials go, but I recently decided to buy these speakers for a PC upgrade and it ended up being one of the best buys I made in a while. ... The audio is so much clearer than my previous speakers. ... "

" ... Without the subwoofer in my small bathroom the bass is so-so but for sure not strong enough for my taste - it’s MUCH better with the subwoofer. ... "
" ... These speakers sound awesome, they have clear mediums and a clear bass, the construction of the music scene is outstanding. ... "
" ... Very crisp sound from the tweeters and just enough bass to not piss off the people who live underneath you. ... "
" ... I'm not game person and I love vocals, so bass is good enough to me. ... "
" ... No bass issues. ... "
" ... crystal clear and a super tight bass response without the sub. ... "
" ... great definition to the music, good base, everything i could ask for in a desktop speaker. ... "
" ... Good sound quality for mids and highs ... "

" ... (I use one set in a small bathroom without the subwoofer.) ... "
" ... They get plenty loud before distortion sets in. ... "
" ... These are really good speakers and they get loud for sure! ... "
" ... Like I said, these things don't want cramped spaces (IF you want to get the most out of them). ... "
" ... If you stand back in the room or are off level with them, they sound vastly different and lose some of their range due to spacial decay or fall-off. ... "
" ... I have a rather good sound system in our TV room. ... "
" ... I think the A5+ sounds like what they look like - a somewhat undersized bookshelf speakers. ... "
" ... The 2+ did a relatively good job at reproducing music at lower volume, especially mids and highs. ... These speakers were designed to handle relatively high volume, but the built-in amp in the main speaker doesn't adequately drive the sound. ... "
Price

" ... They sound great for the price ... "
" ... I bit the bullet and got a pair of stands for them (also available on AE's site - can be had for a few dollars less elsewhere if you look around) - made all the difference in the world. ... Regardless of their classification, these are top-notch speakers - you'd be hard-pressed to find better for the price. ... "
" ... Don't give up, because a quality pair is exceptional for the size and price! ... "
" ... I have to say I have not heard a cleaner sound out of any speakers at this price point. ... "
" ... I settled on the Audioengine 5+ as a good balance of quality vs. price. ... Not a big deal, but worth mentioning nonetheless. ... "
" ... Worth the money. ... "
" ... Would recommend to anyone who is looking for some high quality speakers at a good price. ... "
