Title: My $200 Boom Box Sounds Better
Review: Like many buyers of the Audioengine A5, I was swayed by the large number of positive reviews. My conclusion is that those who love these speakers are comparing them to the free speakers that came with their PC. To be fair, the build quality and packaging are excellent. The design and ease of use, very well thought out. Unfortunately they are the sonic equivalent of mayonnaise on white bread. No depth, no personality. Just sound coming out of a box. They are good enough for background noise, but if you have a good ear and want a speaker for serious listening, pass on the Audioengine A5.
