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.

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.

This is a solid system. Super simple to hook up and the sound that comes out of it is massive. I love techno music and it’s so clear, crisp and the driving bass from the subwoofer is just amazing. Looks great sounds even better.

Most of the reviewers have paired the S8 with the A5+s and the Audioengine DAC - and are ecstatic.. I purchased the P4s when I was moving into a hew home for a ceiling mounted system in a large rc room that never materialized, and ended up using them in a study with a Topping VX1 "2x25W T-AMP Tripath Stereo Hi-Fi Power Subwoofer USB DAC US Digital Amplifier". I bought that Topping because it has a subwoofer output. Like many of the other reviewers, I have been following and using high quality audio since the early days of hifi. My impressions are similar to those other reviewers - first quality audio, highest quality build and finish, great musical reproduction. The P4's are great, but I subscribe to the Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall, and there was clearly something missing. Not anymore. Since adding the S8, the music quality is full and natural, including the cellos, organs and string basses. To show off the subwoofer, I put on organ sonatas with a lot of pedal notes, and the bass is enough to scare the faint of heart, especially when the room starts to vibrate without booming, as others have pointed out. [I recommend a YouTube, J S Bach: Fantasia C minor BWV562 - Coventry Cathedral organ]. Even thoughI have not yet fully optimized the sound,-and I thank the other reviewers who have given detailed methods to do this -but so far Ihave only done rough aural adjustments of phase, crossover and loudness, Even so, the sound that truly rivals the best concert halls [which I have been fortunate enough to frequent from the 1960s on].
