Audioengine A5B Powered Bookshelf Speaker System
Audioengine A5B Powered Bookshelf Speaker System - Black Finish
Manufacturer: Audioengine
Product Description:
Small Speakers, Big Bass. You won't hear any enhanced super-mega-hyper-monster boomy bass from these speakers. The low end from the Audioengine 5 is real bass, very near to the originally recorded music. From rap to classical to movies, you'll get tight, punchy bass with an awesome growl that will make you smile - regardless of the volume level. Kevlar woofers for powerful bass, silk dome tweeters for smooth highs, built-in power amplifiers, truly useful connections, and a clean industrial design all allow the Audioengine 5 to integrate perfectly in your living room, bedroom, or desktop. Custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinets with high-gloss professional piano finish make the Audioengine 5 a true work of art. All these (and more) have been carefully considered to create an authentic soundstage for your valuable multimedia components - the sound as it was originally mixed in the studio. Vocals are clearly placed and each instrument occupies its own space.

The 2-way speaker system employs a 5 Kevlar Woofer coupled with a 20mm silk soft-dome Tweeter to deliver a wide frequency response range from 50 Hz up to 22,000Hz.

Very Good, But NOT ALL THAT
I got these having never heard them, but after reading amazing review after review. I'm a professional musician with three degrees in music. I own three stereo systems - worth 1K 3K and 10K. I also have a pair of THX certified speakers for my desktop computer.
These speakers look nice and sound very good at moderate levels. They don't hold a candle to my pair of computer speakers with a sub when I listen to anything recorded since 1975 except classical solo instrumental and vocal recordings. They sound MUCH better than on my other speakers. Truly, they sound amazing when listening to that and they are very convenient to play with my Ipod. I brought them to our shore house this summer and had access to great quality music in the house the entire time we vacationed. BUT . .
They are not audiophile quality speakers for pop/rock/video or other modern music. They make Eric Satie and Ella Fitzgerald recordings come alive compared to other compact mp3 speakers, but they don't come close to my MA RS6's, so other reviewers saying they beat their 00 systems need to buy better equipment!
Recommended highly, but for a specific audience.

Excellent Product... while it lasts.
This was a great product, and I enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately I only enjoyed it for under a year when it simply stopped working.
If it had lasted I would given it 5 stars in a heart beat. Great while it lasted.

A bit bisappointed
I had high hopes for this product --- needed a way to put sound throughout my small house and functionality seemed great (the ability to use different modes in different rooms, ability to use remote with each of the speaker units to control the ipod, etc.) Unfortunately, it did not work as well as hoped.
The base and speakers had a hard time talking to each other, and they were only 50-60 ft apart and in a relatively unobstructed path. Had to move the base closer and align the speaker so that it was in a more direct visual view. Still, with people in the room it would fade in and out. Not sure if this is because I have wireless internet in the house, which the manual says might interfere, but who that would be looking for wireless speakers doesn't have wireless internet??
The sound quality is very good. Not quite as good as my Bose docking station, but I was pleasantly surprised. The other big downside for me with the sound, however, and the last straw that prompted me to return the product, is the volume level. The highest setting is not all that loud. Fine if you are in the same room... but sometimes I would crank up the volume on my Bose docking station and listen to the music in other rooms or outside ... can't really do this with the Sony.
