Hi,
 
I'm contemplating getting these but I'm a bit concerned they don't have grilles/cloth covers at all. I'd like to hear from owners, and disaster stories if any.
 
Thanks

If you're referring to the A2's (?) I have the P4s that don't have the grills either. I haven't had any issues what so ever in a year and Audioengine makes a very solid product.

Hi Bill, to be correct they're the Audioengine 2 speakers not A2. I am quite careful with my speakers but I was wondering whether they're fragile when other people with itchy fingers touch the grill-less tweeters etc

A2 stands for Audioengine 2. They're called both A2's and Audioengine 2's AFAIK.
 
This thread also should probably be in the computer audio forum. OT: I own a pair of Aktimate Mini's which also don't have grilles/cloth covers and they're just fine.

Yeah, wasn't sure if OP meant the A2's as this isn't the speaker forum. That said, again, My Audioengine P4's are built similarly and I haven't had an issue although I never let the roomate's cat in my room unattended. I haven't heard the A2's but the reviews are unbelievable. As for Audioengine in general I have nothing but good things to say about the Audioengines that I do have.

Okay, I've gone ahead and bought the Audioengine 2 as well as the D1 a few days ago. Listening to them as I type. Thanks everyone

Ah if only I can post what I hear, here. Ha Ha. Yes I love them. I know they are also decent for small rooms but my main aim is for near field listening in front of my iMac.

Just make sure to turn it completely off before unplugging, else you have to mess around with the wires a bit to get the sound back.
