Question: How are these holding up for everyone? Looking at purchasing a used set of these but have heard mixed reviews about longevity.
Document: Background you can skip**** This review is for the A5 and A5+. I have a multi room setup and in some cases I used the A5 due to discounted pricing. ****I realize that these have received many and consistently positive reviews all over the internet. And there is a reason for that: in its price range these are probably hard to beat.
I actually found these speakers with a Google Image search for for white speakers with gray accents. I was going for a certain "look" in a room, so imagine my astonishment when the best looking choice turned out to be very well reviewed for sound quality, and (relatively) inexpensive. So I bought 'em.In the past I've used Genelecs and Mackies as powered monitors, which are of course in another league...but priced in another league as well ($600+ per speaker).
The swan sub woofer is better than the polk psw110 I used to have and which costs almost as much as the swan speaker set. Infact I have bought swans primarily for the bass and also for rear surrounds of course. The bass of swan isn't comparable to that found in a disc, it is pretty boomy as well compared to high end subs. But definitely not logitech crap although it doesn't go as high as them either. But it surely beats logitech and computer speaker subs I guess in quality and texture.
They are VERY good and not just for the price, which is ridiculously cheap. They are just a fine piece of stereo equipment. I hear detail I haven't heard before.Get them. They can be returned for free refund.
The speakers hold their own on my desk without shaking the hell out of it. These speakers have litterally blew me away! I am VERY happy with this purchase. I have been relistening to music I haven't listened to in years because it feels like it is the first time I have truly heard it. Whatever volume you listen to it at, the sound doesn't distort.
Firstly - I have been using Amazon for years and leave no reviews. This speakers have forced me.Secondly - as a frustrated audiophile tinkering for years and steering clear of 'small' speakers the idea of wireless tempted me with a pair of these. My previous encounters with Sonos were too cumbersome and prone to dropouts and trouble and strife. Anyway, once the source and signal are true for these puppies they perform miracles for their size.
I've been around speakers quite a bit, auto audio, home, and studio. As far as most self powered setups go these are of the cleanest sounding 1/8th inch jack/connector speakers I've used, even compared to balanced sets.
These will fill a house. If you're looking to musicify a bedroom or small apartment, go with the cheaper but still excellent A2 audioengines. Those are smaller and also incredible.
Nice looking, good frequency response, excellent power!Size is just right for apartment living.My 1st venture with Audio Engine, but not my last.
After reading many positive reviews from people such as Chris Breen and in particular learning about the features for wireless configurations, I started out with a positive disposition toward the Audioengine A5. The design and technical functionality immediately give one the impression that this company knows what its doing.Thus, the shock is even greater when one has the first listen. Sound is certainly subjective, but the A5's interpretation is flat overall and sometimes distorted.
Answer: I have had mine for several years now. My active speaker (amped) went out right before the warranty was up and they replaced it with a new pair and they haven't had a hiccup since. I don't use mine everyday but I do love these little speakers, great sound and good looks for my bedroom.
