before buying audioengine 2 and his family entire of speakers....i want give reminder to all....this speaker is not for studio monitor uses for mixing and clinical sounding....not for basshead that want loud bass with boost high freq....not for people that seeking outstanding audio output with colouring frequency response....but it for audiophile who know what is true music should be sounding...
i can only repeat myself. the speakers are no comparison to any logitech speakers or others. they r the beginners setup for Hi-Fi with Pc. I would still buy those anytime. u cant do anything wrong with them.
ive seen that you can connect these with special audio wires, my question is how will i connect this to my creative x-fi soundcard? and do they sound better than the standard plug n play cable that i can just put into my soundcard?
@mchlor they're $199 on Amazon.com and you can even order then for $205 from the Audioengine website with the stands...search google, they have a promo code to get like $20 off.
@Squa7ch hey maybe it was only a limited deal but i dont see anything on the website about it coming with the stands. anybody have any info about this?
@hkim927 add the speakers and then the stands to your cart, add promo code DTH10 before checkout, DTH10 or DHT10, one of those...should come out to $205
depends on the size of your room. i had them playing rather in a box than a room (9qm). but they go far beyond what i expected. i never turned them up sooo loud, but when it comes to the quality of sound, you cant fail at this price range. and always consider the size of this thing.it is really high end for your pc. nothing comparable with logitech or those other platic boxes.
The "stands" that you made out of the packaging that came with the speakers... could you spray paint em black? Are they solid or will they brreake if you poke on em and stuff? Really need em like 5 cm higher up from my table when listening :V
i dont really know. actually it is just package. the surface is not that good for painting them. but it is only package so dont hestitate and give it a try. i bet it still looks better than white.
I have the bigger ones.. the A5... and yeah, they sound awesome!
They also perform damn well on games thx to the excellent bass response but... if u buy these loudspeakers just to ear explosions... then consider yourself a airhead! :D
exactly you get what you give to them. i hear my vangelis and blade runner soundtrack in high fidelity, but if you play some streams from youtube, u better stuff something in your ears or just accept it as it is. well i am still happy with them and wont exchange them with any others. you get real quality for your money and by the way they are getting cheaper and cheaper...
yeah its boring indeed, but it explains itsself, haha. when i wanted to buy those, i wanted to see some videos and not only pics. so i just thought about recording them the way they are. i am still very satisfied with them, but i will buy a subwoofer, because sometimes the A2 needs some bigger size support. nevertheless astonishing sound!!
have them one year and i also listen to metal, progressive rock that kind of music. LOVE their performance on this music. bad recordings sound like shit as they should. good recordings (like opeth, porcupine tree etc.) sound amazing. guitar distortion has a lot of power, drums sound dynamic and bass line can be followed perfectly. also love realistic game sounds as swords, magic, gunshots, explosions etc. which sound totally apart from the atmospheric soundtrack. highly recommended 6* speakers!!
this is great to hear...i'm a HUGE prog fan (dream theater, opeth, etc.) and my klipsch promedia 2.1's just died after 10 years...i was considering the logitech z-2300, but i may just try these out!!!
yeh these are completely different. dont expect their bass to kill you, as the z2300 would. z-2300 is just bass, with some kind of crappy speakers on top. audioengine is just quality, i couldnt expect more for the money they sound amazing, and after i collected some money i bought the S8 subwoofer too: perfect.
@h4x0y how do they sound with the s8... does the bass overpower the a2's or is it just right??? also would you say this sounded better than the logitech z 2300 or 5500??? I have had the 2300s, they had only bass like you said.. I currently have the z 5500s which are amazing for game and movies but would you say that your setup sounds better??? any help would be great man... thanks...

how are they at high volumes? ive heard mixed things
msnvjo013 1 year ago
@msnvjo013 They distort at high volume. They are more inclined to SQ rather than SPL. But they go pretty loud i tell you.
