Hey guys,

 

Guitar center had/has the BX5a's for 199.99 and I needed some new speakers for my computer setup. I am using them with my presonus firepod interface right now. They do sound pretty good, but not as good as I thought. They seem not to be THAT great with heavier music (heavier rock) and seem a little sterile. Is this just because they are new? Do they get a lot better as they break in?
 

I also have a few tube amps I could try with some passive speakers. I was using them with some bookshelf version infinity rs10's but was expecting the bx5a's to be a lot better.

 

I also found audioengine ap4's for about the same price I got the bx5a's for (220 with tax). How would you compare these two speakers? I could always take these bx5a's for the ap4's. I kind of want a little warmer sound. 

 

Or if there are other speakers in this price range I am all ears!

 

Thank you!
