I would have to agree...For 200 bones you cant beat the Audioengine 2's with a bat.
I had a pair of Klispch Promedia 2.1's...The horn tweeters just killed me...About 20 minutes and listener fatigue set in big time...Night and day difference between the two.
If you want audiophile sound from a very compact package they really are something you should check out.
Just read this review...To say the guy was impressed would be and understatement.
