There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, a quick description of the music system I'm using these in as a point of reference -- power is coming from a Peachtree Audio Decco2, running lossless files from a new iMac -- speakers are these P4s in a small, office based computer set-up. Speakers are placed a couple inches off each end of the the imac.
I stumbled upon these little bookshlef speakers from Amazon reviews...most reviewers sung them such high praise, I decided to take a chance on them, seeing that I had 30 days from Amazon to return them if I was disappointed -- prior to discovering them, I was strongly considering gettig some B & W 685s or something to that extent.
First, the build quality as others have noted, is exceptionally nice -- perfectly finsihed, these speakers are not light weight junk plastic, but housed in solid bamboo which feel and look to be handsome, quality product. The silk tweeter and 4" kevlar woofer are well engineered -- no imperfections or defects to comment on. The rear cable inputs are also done well with also no imperfections or faulty pieces.
Ultimately, you can have a speaker that appears fantastic on the outside, but when you hear the music, the romance suddenly stops -- not so with these; they sound as beautiful as they look -- truely impressive!
I have a pair of floorstanding B&W CMs, and with the exception of obviously producing larger, more bassier sound, these little guys with the combo I described earlier do just as well, if not in some aspects better.
They have a tremendous soundstage for being so small, and can easily fill a smaller room full of music. As with other good speakers, these tend to disappear and you find yourself engulfed in sweet sound without a specific reference point of where the speaker is placed or where the music is coming from -- a sign of a quality speaker -- your awareness is overtaken by the fullness of sound these produce. They speakers maintain their clarity at all but the highest of volumes. If anything, the space in which I've placed them is a bit tight, and they would probably benefit from being spaced further apart to expand the soundstage.
The mids these produce are very nice and lush...singers' voices sound fantastic and up front, and highs are high, but not shrill or harsh. Instrument separation & placement are also all fantasic -- on good recordings with multiple layers of instruments, these can reproduce a stunning amount of clarity, precision & detail. Again, I was very impressed -- maybe it's the amp their coupled with (the Decco2 which is just super as well), but altogether, I don't think you'll find a better passive speaker for right around 3 bills...if you do, please let me know!
If B & W would place their logo on these, these could go for as much as their CM line bookshelf speakers which run close to $1k.
Highly recommend!!! In my opinion, easily one of the best sounding bookshelfs (in this size) in this price range, and can easily compete with more expensive speakers which cost 3 to 4 times as much. Give them a shot -- your ears will thank you!
Sound: By far the most important thing when you're dropping $250 for a set of speakers. If you want studio-monitor neutrality, these aren't for you. Having said that, I never heard any noticeable shift in volume depending on the fequency. Especially compared to KEF (which have dips in response prominent enough it sounds like you suddenly turned down the volume) they were solid. Comparing them to NHT Superzero 2.0's, they didn't embarass themselves in regards to neutrality.
More importantly, these things rocked! They can be pushed to high enough volume to fill a moderately sized room without distortion. They are extremely musical, and it was hard to tear myself away from the sofa listening to (especially rock) music... finally a speaker designed with music in mind.
Bass extension was very surprising. They are listed as barely dipping into the upper 50 hz range. Paired with the N22 and taking into account their front ports though, I firmly believe they play lower than their specs indicate. One caveat being I definitely think this boost in the lower end, which was nice and tight rather than boomy, is the result of engineering the N22 and the A4's to compliment each other. A subwoofer is not absolutely mandatory (though a good idea).
The only area I thought they fell short compared to other great speakers in their price range was detail. These aren't just loudspeakers but I could not hear the subtle sounds that some other models brought out in my lossless files+dac music set-up.
Build: The only thing I have to say is watch the tweeters.. and even they seem about as durable as a speaker's most delicate part can get. The kevlar woofers? You could go so far as to push on them with a finger, and they feel VERY scratch resistant.
The cabinents are well made and I don't imagine them showing wear & tear easily. Combined with the included dampening pads they are very non-resonant and sturdy. The gold inputs are icing on the cake... its virtually impossible to find that kind of quality signifier below $400.
They are also MUCH smaller than I thought. Although they perform like real bookshelf speakers, their size is more comparable to some satellite speakers than any full fledged bookshelf speaker. Definitely something that'll blend in easily wherever you put them, and helps with imaging.
I heavily recommend these speakers if you don't have some elaborate set-up to bring out the tiny details in music (or if you are more concerned with rocking out than quietly picking out notes). They're also quite portable... very easy to travel with in a small bag if you want to bring good sound with you on a vacation.
I'm very glad I did. These speakers are flat out excellent. The lows are deep and well - defined (no fuzz), and the highs are sharp and clear. I'm driving them with a Lepai 2020 A until I get my Advent 300 out of the shop. And they are beautiful speakers, they really did a nice job with the cabinets. Should you buy these speakers, I strongly urge you to spend the extra money and buy the ones I bought, with the bamboo veneer. They look so nice you just want to touch them.
In summary, if you're looking for a fine pair of bookshelf speakers, buy these speakers. Don't worry about them being shipped, they arrived on time at my place double boxed and in excellent condition. Just unpack them, hook them up, sit back and enjoy! Thank you for taking the time to read this review, hope this helps.

Da hier kaum etwas zu den Audioengine P4N Boxen steht möchte ich mal ein Statement abgeben.
Ich suchte ein Paar hochwertige Lautsprecher für meinen PC. Da ich meine Musik seit Jahren am PC digital archiviere und bearbeite, höre ich hier natürlich auch viel Musik. Sie sollten auf den PC-Tisch passen und sozusagen für's Nahfeld (Sitzabstand 1 - 1,5 Meter).
Leider verdienen viele heutige sogenannte "Regalboxen" diesen Namen nicht. (Bassreflexkanal nach hinten ausgeführt oder Downfire... No Go für wand nahe Aufstellung usw.)
Meine Wahl viel nach langen Recherchen auf die Audioengine P4N PC-Lautsprecher vs. Edifier P12, welche ich zusammen bei Amazon bestellte.
Die Boxen betreibe ich an einem Marantz M-CR612 Netzwerk CD-Receiver in neutraler Klangeinstellung.
Die Edifier traf einen Tag eher ein und... Kurz & knapp Sehr, sehr basslaßtig, sehr dumpfer Klang. Optisch auch recht ansprechend.
Einen Tag später die Audioengine P4N, eine Offenbarung im Klang!!!
Warme, weiche Bässe ohne zu übersteuern bzw. Störgeräusche durch das Bassreflex-Prinzip zu erzeugen und kristallklare Höhen.
Ich bin restlos begeistert von diesen kleinen Kraftzwergen.
Ich möchte nochmal klarstellen, wir reden hier von akustisch anspruchsvoller Musikwiedergabe (auch bei höheren Lautstärken) aber nicht von Disco Beschallung. Mein Musikzimmer ist ca. 18qm und in einem Mehrfamilienhaus möchte man die Nachbarn nicht verärgern.
Nachdem ich nun seit 2 Wochen im Audioengine P4N Sound schwelge mit z.B.: Pink Floyd "The Endless River in 24Bit HiRes."
auch Klassik.. Orgelmusik... unglaublich die Basswiedergabe (auch wenn der Hintern nicht vibriert... Ha, ha)
Die Höhen sehr präzise, die Gitarrenanschläge glasklar. Ich bin restlos begeistert. Diese Audioengine P4N ist kein Schnäppchen, aber jeden Cent wert. In Bambus haben sich mich ~100,- EUR mehr gekostet als die farblichen Varianten in Schwarz/Wiss.
Sehr hochwertig verarbeitet (Wie schon von Anderen bemerkt). Der Hochtöner als Seidenkalotte und der Mittel/Basstreiber mit Cevlar-Membran. Die Bezeichnung Audioengine P4N als PC-Lautsprecher ist für mich irreführend.
Diese kleinen Dinger verdienen (auch bezogen auf die Größe) ein Prädikat Hervorragend / Exzellent.
Die Verarbeitung der Boxen ist sehr, sehr solide, mit festen Anschlüssen hinten, und sehr guter Detailbeachtung. Zusätzlich hat jede Box eine dünne Gummischicht an der Unterseite, die akustisch dämpfend wirkt. Somit kann die Box leicht auf ein Regal gestellt werden, ohne irgendwelche Vibrationsprobleme enstehen (kein scheppern).
Der Klang ist wirklich gut, ich würde fast sagen exzellent für eine Box dieser Grösse und Preis. Dies ist das zweite Mal das ich diese Boxen gekauft habe. Das erste Mal war für eine meiner Töchter zu Weihnachten und ihre Anfangsanlage - sie findet den Klang auch super, obwohl sie andere Musik hört.
Ich gebe diesen Boxen 5 Sterne. Sie machen meiner grossen und teuren audiophilen Anlage zwar nicht unbedingt Konkurenz, muss aber sagen das die kleinen Klangwunder jeden Pfennig, Eurocent, Pennies wert sind.
