Compact, Active 2.0
That ultimately depends on what your ears can discern. I'm sure the A2+ can reproduce the highs (and maybe mids) very well but it will be lacking on the low end. If that's not a concern, then they are the more economical route. Both probably don't do too well at low volumes. If that is your...- bencho

Compact, Active 2.0
@cel4141 Oh? Well that seems rather obvious lol. Smaller drivers won't be able to compete and that's probably the reason for modifying the bass specs. I used to have the A5+ on my desk but now have no room for them so looking to downsizing. I know there is a trade off but if that's the only...- bencho

Compact, Active 2.0
Hello! What are all the alternatives to the A2+? I'm looking for something in the same size range. Reviews are up and down on the A2+ and I'm biased towards them as I have the A5+. With that said, I'm open to try new things out. Otherwise I'm probably going to just settle and get them in...- bencho

Audioengine A5 - Left Channel Died?
Now I'm a lil confused.... with the whole matching of sub thing. I just relocated so I'm back down to a bare bones setup. When I get settled, I'm moving back to a triple monitor + big tv setup. Ideally, I'd like to have a 2.1 for my PC... and then a 2.1 for my TV. I would want to...- bencho

Does anyone know if it's just a bad part on the amp? AE wants $80 and my shipping to get it repaired. I hope its not like my Promedia 5.1 Ultras... where the damn amp kept dying on me, repair after repair.- bencho

Has anyone else had an issue with their left channel just suddenly giving out? Powered mine up and the left channel just gives a slight pop when I try to play sound. Right channel is fine. Tested different cables, sources, inputs.- bencho

LF a headphone amp... noob here :)
Hi All, I've decided to purchase a pair of AKGk701/702. I plan to be using these on my pc and iphone for gaming and music. Is there an amp that can be powered by both batteries and AC power? Not sure of what other information I would need to provide to get an accurate answer...- bencho

Since the grados, supraaural, don't have enough pressure to clamp on my ears with the band behind my head. Does that imply that circumaural's do? If so, suggestions for one?- bencho

Yea... I guess the igrados are the route to take. I spike my hair so I don't want that band getting in the way >.<'' Thanks for the tips. If i do end up making the sr60's like $100 I'll let you guys know- bencho
