I am leaning towards buying the audioEngine A2. I have RealTek HD as my onboard and ASUS Xonar U1 as external USB soundcard. I was wondering whether A2 would be able to deliver its best with Xonar... (I hear a2 changes its sound considerably with the change in source.)
Also, I am leaning for a2 primarily because of space issues and desktop usage. I will living in hostel rooms for another 2-3 years and would want my speakers to last 5-6 years straight. 'Last' means they should be good enough, good enough so that I dont get jealous of reading a review of another product, maybe +/- $50 but miles ahead of them.
Keeping that in mind, I zeroed on a2. But am totally open to other products. Kindly help me in chosing better.
Also, one last thing.. about a5 vs a2, would I be missing a lot if I go with a2 considering the smaller hostel rooms..
Thanks
(products avaialble here are bose, soundsticks, logitech, m-audio monitor series, audioengine.. )

ps: i am already suffering with creative t-40. Fell into the creative marketing trap as they projected those as "true audiophiles".
