Reviews

'Great desktop sound from new powered speakers...a timely upgrade has made the A5+ speakers slightly bigger, noticeably netter and far more flexible than the originals' (What Hi-Fi magazine January 2011)

'For: flexible spec; smoothly built' poised, persuasive sound...they remain a compulsory audition for those who crave instant hi-fi' (What Hi-Fi magazine)

'Small and neat yet expansive and dynamic, the A5s are a fine showcase for affordable active loudspeaker design' (Hi-Fi World magazine)

HI-FI WORLD MAGAZINE 5/5 WINNER

What goes into each A5+?

Audioengine designs and manufactures their our own drivers, woofers, crossovers, amplifiers, power supplies, and cabinets. This means that all of these parts are painstakingly tuned together to offer the best possible sound quality. This is a unique feature of this system which isn't the case for most small active speaker systems, where the manufacturer buys in "standard " parts and just puts them together. Furthermore, the speakers are designed to offer performance as close as possible to studio monitors, speakers which offer a theoretical flat frequency response, and offer a sound as close as possible to the original recording.

The Audioengine A5+ features audiophile quality, ferro-fluid cooled, 20mm silk dome tweeters with Neodymium magnets and 5" Kevlar woofers, which is very strong, meaning the woofer retains its shape when being driven at high levels. Even the cabinets are designed with the same care and attention with 1” thick high-resin MDF walls and extensive internal bracing. All edges are rounded which look great and also reduce high-frequency diffraction effects on the front baffles. Each cabinet contains tuned, rear-firing ports. Both speakers are tuned together and sold in pairs. Both cabinets are shielded to allow placement close to a screen without causing interference.

Airport Express

With an AC power jack in the rear panel, the Audioengine 5 provides the ability to stream music from your laptop directly to the speakers through Apple's Airport Express. The rear panel AC outlet is also ideal for providing power to other portable and home A/V equipment. A 2nd auxiliary mini-jack is located nearby for audio input from the Airport Express or other products. Plenty of cables are included to connect all your gear.

Amazing... Only one flaw
by on 20/12/2012 12:15

I bought these speakers for my university room after discovering how expensive others without amps would be... This has a built in amp and has been absolutely amazing... I have never even been able to raise the volume to max... Cause of my neighbours... But WOW... I love these soo much... It's only flaw is the pop sound it keeps making every 15-30min... But because of the sound quality I don't even mind... I use them with my airport express and they still have excellent sound although I don't know why they removed the plug on the device... But these niggles are nothing... These are the best for the price... 5 stars and thumbs up

No aux A/C outlet on A5+
by on 19/10/2012 23:01

A bit misleading...A5+ no longer includes the aux A/c outlet socket that the A5's had which means you can't plug an Airport Express into the unit any longer. Want to buy these but think this is a huge feature downgrade!

They are Good

I purchased these with the Audioengine D2 wireless DAC, to allow me to wirelessly stream music using an iMac with a budget for both products, and some Chord leads and speaker wire that could not exceed £850, I am very happy. The convenience of being to use an iPad wirelessly to access music on my Mac is worth every penny.

Classical, to rock music, sounds quite amazing with this setup. Most of my music I have purchased from iTunes, and it sound fantastic, even compared to non-compressed WAV files.

For under a £1000, its probably the best wireless setup, using these speakers. The Bamboo A5s look amazing, excellent build quality, plus sound too! Highly recommended for a wired or wireless system.

Audioaffair is highly recommend also for their level of service and customer care.

Bangin...
by on 18/09/2012 22:24

Very pleased so far. Have them on stands about 2m apart but only 6 inches from a wall, shoudl be more I know. I have a squeezebox touch feeding them with either FLAC or Spotify. Delighted with the sound, as other reviews they have prominent bass which I like and really come to life when volume is lifted (when the Mrs is out). Big improvement on my Mission 760i and 20yr old Denon amp. Look neat and modern also, build quality impressive.

More than computer speakers
by on 15/09/2012 16:22

I use these as my stereo. You can plug your itunes (lap top/ipod etc) in and they fill the room beautifully. Maximum volume is way more than you'll ever need. They look amazing in white, and if you plug in an airport express you can do it all wirelessly. My only issue (and it's not the speakers fault) is that my expensive Samsung TV denies you access to the equaliser when using external speakers so although they'd be great TV speakers too, I can't adjust the base etc. I'll ditch the TV before I ditch the speakers.

Top speakers
by on 20/08/2012 09:55

Very happy with these speakers, good clear sound with plenty of punch, you definitely notice where the extra money went! Build quality is incredibly solid, nothing looks cheap or mass produced, there are no corners cut!

I will point out that although these are described as "desktop" speakers they are quite large and heavy, much bigger than I expected.

These are bar none the best active speakers I have heard under 500 quid and sound punchy with fine clarity these rock with the best of them. Nicely packaged too with good care to whats included. Use mine to play music through my PC via iTubes and they sound great
