I recently upgraded my audio setup with the AudioEngine S8 subwoofer, paired with the A2+ speakers, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result. This combination has truly transformed my listening experience, offering a rich, immersive sound that fills the room.
The S8 subwoofer brings a depth to the bass that I didn't realize I was missing. Whether it's movies, music, or games, the lows are now deep and clear, without any distortion. It's compact enough to fit into my space without taking over, yet powerful enough to make its presence felt.
Pairing it with the A2+ speakers was a game-changer. The A2+s already offer crisp, clear highs and mids, and when you add the S8 into the mix, you get a full-range sound that's hard to beat at this price point. The setup was incredibly easy, and the build quality of both products is top-notch, as I've come to expect from AudioEngine.
Whether you're an audiophile or just someone who appreciates good sound, this setup is a fantastic investment. It's elevated my enjoyment of all forms of media, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Five stars for a product that truly delivers on its promises!
I purchased a set of A5+ speakers to replace my long running Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 system for use on my home office PC. I work as a Sales Engineer, with lots of time spent in front of my PC working on spreadsheets, researching and doing other work - all the while listening to a mix of streaming music and NAS served MP3 content. I also play my fair share of PC games, (MW3, Battlefield etc). I was (pretty) happy with the ProMedia - at the time they were one of the best options, especially for the price. I finally drove them into the ground and was searching for replacements. My local Fry's had frankly - terrible selection in the PC speaker department (at any price). Logitech? Please. I consider myself a discerning consumer - I love the high end, however I am value oriented. That being said, I have the means to spend more than most. I started looking at higher end monitor speakers which is how I found my way to the AudioEngine lines.
The other challenge for me - I listen to a wide variety of music. Everything from Prodigy, to Korn, to Depeche Mode - Pop (I have kids so hello Katy Perry!)...Nine Inch Nails...Classical, and yes even Rap and Acoustic. And when I'm playing MW3 or Battlefield 3 - I like it to sound like WW3 is going off around me and give me the spatial clues to know when someone is coming up behind me.
Speakers that typically give me the boom I want when I'm listening to Rap sound muddy when trying to hit the technical pulse of a dubstep or drum and bass record. I want my Bass tight and controlled. I also tend to like it LOUD (or at least be able to play loud when I want) without distortion or making my ears sore.
Now at $399 a pair for the A5+'s ( I bought two - front/rear), they were considerably more expensive, but they sounded WAY better, and much louder. I was happy - and while the A5+s deliver strong bass for their size, there just isn't any way a small speaker can replicate low end frequencies. In my opinion, you shouldn't just purchase the A5s without the Sub if you are really into music. The A5's are hands down one of the best performing/sounding speakers at their price point. At lower volumes you can get away with out a sub, but once you start to turn them up, the missing/lack of low end is much more apparent and disappointing.
Simple solution - I added the AS8W sub and I was blown away.
Instant HUGE upgrade. Before I got the sub, whenever I'd show them off, I'd get "that really sounds good" or "those are sweet". Now I get "WOW". For those of you that are considering using these for PC speakers (and have the means) add them to your cart. You wont be sorry. 1100+ may seem like alot for 4 speakers and a sub (not really), but the build quality is incredible, setup options galore and the sound is amazing. VERY well matched. I can listen to them at low levels and they sound great...and turn them up. Sitting inside 4 of these speakers with the A8 sub is frankly spoiled me. I thought my Car sounded good with 5K worth of Focal speakers and two 10's. This matches it at a fraction of the cost. I am used to a tight, loud bass that has real punch, presence and yet doesn't overpower the rest of the instruments - and adding this sub delivered just that.
If you have the means to go with 4 A5+s and this sub - you will create the ultimate 4.1 computer sound setup. It will rock a room HARD. I literally can turn it up until it starts to hurt - and it still sounds clear and tight. Which frankly was my expectation. Mission accomplished AudioEngine!
I also purchased a set for my wife's craft room. She likes Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani - Pop mostly. I hooked it into our Sonos system. It sounded good enough for her (the A5+ by themselves (one pair)), but again -needed more low end. I added this sub under her desk and last night I hear her showing it off to her girlfriends (not the speakers - she didn't even notice how nice they look), but rather listen to this! They spent the next hour just listening to different songs. AudioEngine needs to get with Sonos and bundle as its a fantastic combination. Did I mention it will f'kin ROCK a room? Seriously.
Highly recommended at the price point. Not sure if this is what I'd go with as a DTS setup, but for music you will be thrilled with Audioengine A5 speakers and AS8 Sub.
Bottom line - great bang for the buck and a necessary add on to any AudioEngine bookshelf speaker set. You wont be sorry.
