- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2014Brilliant straight out of the box!!!
I wanted a set of decent desktop speakers to work alongside my 2012 Mac Mini and iTunes; I consider myself to be a fickle audiophile. I've a Cyrus 8DAC and KEF LS50 system in my living room and a NAD D3020 & KEF R100 system upstairs but didn't want to faff with a separates system in my office!
I did try the Q Acoustics BT3's but they were very bright from the word go and their bass is lacklustre!
The Audioengine A5+'s are brilliant straight out of the box! Connected to my Mac Mini via optical and a FiiO D3 DAC they sing superbly with weighted bass, smooth but open/detailed midrange and a great top-end that's clear and precise but not bright in any way!
If you're after a decent set of powered speakers for either your desktop system OR to go on stands; I can highly recommend these!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2013Just received these speakers today, and after a 10 minute setup i could experience the amazing sound these speakers make! The quality is just amazing, rich, deep base, and those clear highs... Have been listening to music for 2-3 hours straight (on Spotify) and i just can't stop now! Before i bought these i made a deep research about the A5+, and was wondering how every single review is positive. No more wondering! Everything's clear now after getting them. Although forget the sound TESTS on YouTUBE, those will never even get close to the actual quality of these amazing speakers! Definitely worth the money, you won't regret buying them!
Have them connected to my PC via Optical Audio cable (Fisual) to a FiiO D3 (DAC) and an RCA cable (Fisual), and i'm using Auralex MoPADs as my the stands.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2015There is probably little more I can say about the Audioengine A5+ speakers than hasn't been said in any other review - they are simply fantastic value for the quality and depth of sound you get. I bought these for a home cinema setup, avoiding buying a separate subwoofer at this point, and past the initial run in period they have proved to be worth every penny. The bass is loud and punchy; the treble is clear and sharp. I'm no audiophile but after weeks of using these I'm not disappointed that I chose these.
Just be aware that the left channel housing the amp is quite heavy, so if you want to wall mount them you need a reasonably strong mount.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2015Had the A5's for 6 years used with my laptop. These A5+, I am using as my main hifi system speakers and not now using separate amplifier, I consider them very good and I am very fussy about good sound quality. May add a subwoofer soon.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2014I'm a very practical guy who is passionate about good sounding audio. My pragmatism is what drove me to choose a PC based digital library of music as it really was the easiest/most practical solution to enjoying my hobby.
In that sense, I believe I am exactly the kind of guy these are marketed towards. I am by no means knowledgeable in speaker territory (these are the finest speakers I have owned yet) but I have listened to some good setups before and let me tell you that I was still extremely impressed by these.
They may seem expensive for their supposed applications, especially considering the lo-fi approach to audio that has become widespread by today's standards, but if you take special pleasure in the details and your audio sounding good, then you will not be disappointed.
Just for the record, I am connecting these to an Asus Xonar Essence One Muses edition DAC.
They sound amazing out of the box and do not require a subwoofer in my opinion. My previous 2.1 logitech system provided the same amount of bass and they had a dedicated subwoofer! (less "clear" and "thumpy", though. More of a loose "wobble". These are a step up in every conceivable sense). I can only imagine the soul quaking, galaxy trembling bass that would be produced by this system if partnered with a subwoofer. It's possible to find a couple videos on youtube where you can see pieces of paper and fabric actually flapping to the air moved by the bass produced by the speakers.
Midrange is JUST right. Probably the best part about them. There is actually a defined feeling of "soundstage" with these. I feel like I'm listening to someone playing on a stage and can place the instruments and musicians on different points of the stage. Not just left and right, but 2 or 3 steps in between them. In that sense, they sound like more than just 2 speakers.
Treble is very nice and almost never overbearing or uncomfortable. Very contained (like the bass). As much as I love these I have to be honest and say I've noticed some awkward buzzing on a passage or two, but to be fair the speakers have not burned in yet AND I was listening to the Superman OST composed by John Williams which is known for having some outstandingly demanding passages like prolonged high notes from the horns section which are a great test for even high end audio systems.
They don't get 5 stars for two reasons:
- even though they are marketed as desktop speakers, they do require a considerable amount of space and a room big enough to accomodate not only the space they take up but the sound they will push out, so not for everyone in this sense. I was able to accomodate them, barely... they sound great in their current disposition but I will probably look at a better way to position them in the near future.
- they require a set of speaker stands (namely the audioengine ones that were designed to be partnered with them) in order to truly live up to their potential. It's amazing how the angled speaker stands from audioengine, which I ordered at the same time but only arrived a few days later, changed their performance for the better. When the drivers are at eye/ear level, these babies really shine. The difference is palpable.
Get these if:
- you're practical. More interested in the solution than the journey to get there.
- can fit them in your budget and don't care about the weird looks your friends and family will give you when they find out how much you spent (the simpletons cannot unterstand the simple pleasure of audio bliss :p ).
- have a passion for good sounding stereo audio.
- have a good source to partner them with (a respectable soundcard or DAC and the files themselves, be they movies or music - 320kbps are okay. FLAC files ideal in this sense).
Do NOT get these if:
- you are an audio purist/perfectionist looking for the best possible conditions. I've seen a couple of reviews from disgruntled buyers who failed to understand that these are mid to high end in the grand scheme of the audio market. Nothing else.
- you take pride in setting up complicated listening conditions and troubleshooting them for maximum output and enjoyment (these are a straightforward solution for someone who values commodity more than an ideal set. Not so much the journey to get there, but the solution itself).
- you intend to feed them with equipment below their price range and files like DVDrips of movies or 128kbps mp3s. They are not worth it for this kind of use.
I am a VERY happy camper after buying and setting these up. :)
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2012I was not at all surprised to see this speaker system favourably reviewed in the AVGuide. It really is a bit special.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2013I ordered these on the weekend and they came Monday morning! Delighted with the speakers too, although I'm not sure my neighbours are.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2014I needed a pair of bedroom speakers and have read many reviews for the Audioengine A2+ vs the A5+.
At the end I got the A5+ because I wanted the power to fill the room and more flexibility. The sound quality of the thing paired with my macbook pro is great. Just the right amount of bass I need (don't think I'll ever need extra sub for them), great clear vocal though these speakers are towards the warmer side, meaning that you'll get more bass than treble. Only down side is that the sound quality isn't good when I pair them with the iPhone 5s and Nexus 5. I guess these phones don't have a nice sound chip in them like the macbook pro?
End of the day I guess the A2+ would do a nice job too since they have a built in DAC. Though I have not tried them so not sure if they will fill my room or potentially my living room later on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish with incredible sound
Bought these to go with my new high end turn table and I cannot be happier. First of all, just the packaging was impressive. Double boxed and well packed. The speakers also came in grey pouches, which make them feel very special, and you can also use them if you ever have to move to prevent them from getting scratched. These are well made and heavy duty for their size. I am hearing sounds in my records that I never knew was there. Super clear, rich and bassey. Worth the money. Don't hesitate to buy these. When buy my next set I will get these again, but with the blue tooth option, which are a bit more expensive, but I know they will be worth it.
