Default AudioEngine Speakers

I have been carrying AudioEngine speakers for a while now and I cant be more impressed with them as a top notch self powered small speaker. Just attach your imod or ipod and your groovin - no amplifier needed.

Plenty of reviews but here is a recent one.

Stereophile: Audioengine 2 powered loudspeaker

Again if your looking for a small speaker that will not kill your wallet but will be "killer" for sound, the A2 is the ticket.

How different does the A2 sound from A5?

What do they give up to the A5 (if you don't need the iPod dock)?

Is it maximum spl, bass extension, other?

Not taking anything away from the A2s, the A5s just have a larger sound and they should because they are physically larger. I am have always been enamored with all things portable and small, especially electronics. What empresses me about Audioengine is that the A2 has such good bass and overall warmth for such a small speaker, and the price is VERY very good.

Here is the reviews page.

I'll second that. Just got to hear the A2s we bought from Ken for a friend and it's uncanny how those little things fill a small room with very, very nice music. Everyone is really pleased with them!

BTW, it's a pleasure buying from Ken. Always stays on top of things!
