    • 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

    • Blown away
Color: Black Style: Wired
For the longest time, I resisted buying the S8, which would've been an addition to my HD6. But only now did I realize what I have been missing all this time. Simply, blown away. I am not an audiophile, but I unwittingly become one.

    • Beautiful rich sound. Control knobs and setup guide could be better.
Color: Black Style: Wired
First, I don't need to add anything to what other reviewers have said about the great sound quality across the music spectrum, I'll simply agree with them. I do think the 3 control knobs on the back could be improved. Each knob is black and the position indicator is a small black notch on the knob which is almost impossible to see when leaning over the back of the unit - it should be marked in white or something contrasting. Also, the crossover frequency goes from 50 to 130 Hz (a range of 80) but the scale has 12 gradation marks (6.7 Hz per mark!) so it's not easy to figure what frequency you are setting it to. 8 marks would make more sense (10 Hz per mark). The 3 knobs on the back control the volume, crossover frequency, and phase, and I think the setup guide is a bit weak in explaining what they are and how to set them to get the best from the unit. The best phase setting is determined by the laws of physics, and if you don't have the phase set up right then you'll miss out on the best sound that the unit could deliver. Once the phase is set then your volume and crossover frequency will be very much a matter of choice. If you aren't an expert then here are my thoughts on why and how to set the phase: When sound waves are 'out of phase' they cancel each other out (this is how noise cancellation headphones work). When they are 'in phase' they supplement each other - and this is what you want. Set all three knobs in the middle. Find some 'rich' music with a good mix of treble, mid-range, and bass and adjust the woofer volume until it sounds about right. Now turn the treble and mid range right down so you are only getting the bass. Stand in the middle of the room and have someone rotate the phase knob left and right until the sound is at its loudest/richest. That's the setting you want. (Alternatively, search for a 'stereo test' on the web,look for 'polarity' or 'phase' test and pick the 'in phase' option which will play a low frequency sound at constant volume.) Once you have it set up about right, I recommend using a media player with good treble/mid/bass filtering which makes it easy to adjust the woofer volume using the bass filters. I personally like the open source VLC player. PS (now that I've had 50+ hours of use) this unit seems to take a few hours to loosen up. It sounds better now than it did when fresh out of the box. I would never have believed I could describe a sub as 'crisp', but it is - neither mushy nor boomy. After you've had it for a while you'll probably want to adjust the crossover and volume. Also I can't emphasize enough that to get the full benefit of the AS8 you should download a media player with a good equaliser. ... show more

    • It’s a BEAST

Matched it with my A5s, now I just need a bigger room! Sound is excellent, my only complaint is the control placement. It’d be nice to have these controls easier to access

    • Good sound and versatile
Color: Black Style: Wired
I bought this for my basement home office which is about 10'x12'. When I unboxed this speaker I was a bit worried it would be overkill. But between the volume and crossover controls it was easy to tailor the sound to my room. The sound is quite good. The build quality seems really solid! So overall I am very happy with this speaker. Highly recommended. BTW, I hooked up to some desktop Audioengine speakers so setup was super easy.) ... show more
