    B-Stock Audioengine's

    Does anyone have any experience ordering an Audioengine product that was B-Stock? Is the product just as good as new or do they sometimes have blemishes or scratches or any kind of sound quality problems? Is there anything you don't get with the product that you would if it was brand new? Just...

    Best Bookshelf Speakers $500 or less

    Yeah, I don't want to have to buy an amplifier. I just want the best sound quality I can get for my iPod and Mac Pro that won't require anything more than the speakers.

    Best Bookshelf Speakers $500 or less

    Not sure if this is the right forum on the internet or not but I was wondering if anyone could reccommend a great pair of bookshelf sized speakers that would cost no more than $500. I'm looking to use the speakers for playing songs on my iPod and also working with Logic Pro on my Mac. Any help...

    Audioengine A5, A2?

    Coupon was probably for MacWorld and that was last month. I would guess it's now expired.

    Haven't been on here in awhile...Need advice!

    Several months ago I purchased a Macbook Pro and I wanted to get speakers for it. I also wanted something that I could support playing my iPhone and iPod touch. I had my list narrowed down to either the Audioengine A5 or a brand called Mackie. Looking to spend no more than $400 USD, are these...

    A5's or MR5's or something else?

    Thanks for the replies...Has anyone on here heard both of these speakers? If someone has heard both and could share what they thought, I would greatly appreciate that. Also, I forgot to say that these speakers will be strictly meant for music. I will be buying Logic Studio for my Macbook as...

    Audioengine A5: Bamboo or Black?

    Well Audioengine was great for responding so quickly. I've heard they had good customer service and this proved it to me. Yeah, if I decide on these, I think I'll go with the black. Besides, it's $100 more in my pocket!

    Audioengine A5: Bamboo or Black?

    I emailed Audioengine about this and they responded extremely quick. This is what they had to say: Hi there, Thank you for your interest. To the trained ear there will be some differences in sound between the bamboo speakers and the MDF speakers. In tuning these speakers, they were...

    A5's or MR5's or something else?

    So in a few months I am going to be buying a new Macbook Pro and a new iPod Touch. I am still having a tough time deciding what speakers that I want for both. On top of my list are the AudioEngine A5's. I've read great reviews on them so far and they seem to cater to Apple iPods since they have...

    Audioengine A5: Bamboo or Black?

    WAF? I'm just confused, I would think that you might be paying $100 just for the Bamboo material but that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I mean, I like the look of the Bamboo but if it's the same exact sound quality, why not save $100?
  14. Derek1984

    Audioengine A5: Bamboo or Black?

    I am torn between either to purchase the Bamboo model at $449 or the Black model at $349. Is there any difference in sound between the two? Are you just paying extra for the Bamboo material? Also, does anybody know if Audioengine has any promotion codes going on? Thanks

    AudioEngine A5 competition

    In terms of sound quality for music, without adding a subwoofer, what else is out there for around $300? I see a lot of good reviews for the A'5 and I was wondering if there is anything out there in the $300 price just as good or maybe even better...Trying to weigh all my options before I might...
