I've been meaning to pick up a set of speakers which don't sound like a dead rabbit being beaten with a 3 ounce hammer and, after looking for several days and weighing my options on a set of studio monitors I got quite drunk, decided that I very much needed good music and, late one night, ordered a set of Audioengine A2 speakers.
It took the fedex truck showing up on my doorstep for me to remember that I had ordered them but after two days of listening I'm glad I did. First of they're f-ing tiny. Smaller than your average computer speaker. I was a little dismayed upon opening the box and having their dimunitive form factor wave their 200$ price tag in my face while giggling impishly. Despite my initial fears I opened box, figured out how to plug them in and subjected them to a wide scale of music types. Everyone else feels the need to extend their reviews of a product beyond what's necessary. Actually I think I've done that a little too but, hehe, once again I'm not exactly sober. Pardon my diatribe.
Basically these speakers are wicked. The sound is crystal clear, they hit surprisingly low and don't distort anything but music at levels which will hurt your head. I'm not suggesting that you go out and pick a pair up but if you do, like me, in a fit of drunken E baying, you won't be disappointed.
I've added a Boston Acoustics 6.5" subwoofer to drop the range from 65hz to 45 but that's just because I like a little junk in the trunk with my music.
Goodie. Go forth and listen. I'm on Handel's Messiah right now and it's melting my face.
