Epic setup for PC speakers, or as a Sonos/Apple Driver. Power and Accuracy.
Color: Black Style: Wired
Let me start off by saying these are way more than just computer speakers - but thats what I purchased them for (at least at first). They also KILL as stand alone speakers when used with Sonos or Apple (or other sources too I imagine). 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. ... show more

NOW nothing's missing!
Color: White Style: Wired
Title: Perfect Match for an Immersive Audio Experience! 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! ... show more

Wow
Color: Black Style: Wired
I replaced an Aiyima 8" sub with this. I had the old sub turned all the way up to even know it was on. I can't even have this one at half. It's amazing. I only got this brand to match the A2 speakers on my desk (while not as good as the Edifier M60s the A2 at least has sub out) and am blown away. Literally, I started it on near full volume and almost had a heart attack. I have speakers/subs from Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, Sony, JBL, Polk, Klipsch and Edifier. This sub is right up there with subs double+ the price. ... show more

Excellent little Black Box
Color: Black Style: Wired
I purchased the AudioEngine S8 Subwoofer to complement the A5+ speakers I had recently purchased. What a wonderful sound! The A5+ speakers already had a nice sound with a surprising amount of low end, but of course the really low frequencies just can't be reproduced by a 5" speaker. The S8 Subwoofer takes over where the A5+ leaves off. A perfect combination. I decided on the S8 because of its compact size. Don't let the size fool you, it is a powerful little speaker. I get as much sound as I want out of this black box. No need to crank it up to maximum. It has plenty of power and output with the volume control set at its halfway point. It took a few minutes laying on the floor reaching around the back of the subwoofer to get the crossover adjusted just right. The sub can give you too much mid bass if you don't adjust it just right. That's because the A5+'s I have do such a nice job on the low end already. I would assume if you are pairing the S8 with the A2 speakers then you can have the S8 give you more of the mid bass frequencies. My only complaint with the speaker is the pointed feet attached to the bottom of the speaker. I put some scratches on my hard wood floor moving the speaker in and out of position near the wall, as I adjusted the controls on the rear. The pointed feet are too sharp. Felt covered wider posts would be better than plastic cones that narrow to points. This is a moderately heavy speaker. Maybe the cone shaped feet work better on a carpeted floor. There, the cones would have less tendency to dent carpet. I would suggest Audio Engine ship these subwoofers with a set of optional flat feet instead of a cloth bag. The improved footware would be a better way to spend the money wasted on the cloth bag. And I could have saved my shiny wood floors from scratches. I would have loved to have had a bamboo wood version of the S8 available to buy, so I could have matched it to my elegant A5+ speakers. I would definitely recommend the AudioEngine S8. ... show more

Small but powerful

Bought this to replace a very old Definitive powered sub. This is much smaller and I was concerned it wouldn't fill the room as well. I was surprised that it actually filled the room very well. I'm very happy with it.

Great sub with a few minor items
Color: Black Style: Wired
The sub sounds great, nice deep bass as you'd expect from this product. The ported design and down-firing position make for a loud and rumbling bass, although it's perhaps a tad sluggish for precise music listening. With a bookshelf speaker pairing, I found that i kept the volume very low so that it would not overpower the speakers. Not a problem per se, but it definitely can overpower a small room so you may need to do a bit of tuning to ensure good integration with speakers of varying sizes. My two minor issues: There is a very bright orange standby light on the back of the unit that, from what I can tell, can't be turned off unless you power off the unit. Considering the power button is located on the lower back of the unit (and because I don't want to be powering it off and on every day), that creates a bit of a nuisance for a dark room. I also thought that the grey color around the vent looked kind of ugly. An all-black finish would have been better in my opinion. ... show more

This thing is PERFECT, BUT...BUY AN AUDIO SPLITTER if you have standalone speakers!
Color: Black Style: Wired
Just what I needed, and more! This thing is POWERFUL! I have it at like 25% volume and 2 and a half notches above the minimum (50 Hz) crossover, and it's PERFECT! Really easy to dial in the sound and tone you want. So, I have the SteelSeries Arena 3 speakers and didn't want to buy another set of those just to have a sub with them, so I bought this. Had to also buy an audio splitter, with male connections on all sides. So, if you have those speakers and want a sub as well, do this! I LOVE this thing! ... show more
