Audioengine 5+ (white) price range: $359.00 - $399.99
The good: The Audioengine 5+ powered speakers deliver phenomenal sound and offer simple, attractive styling. They feature two audio inputs and an integrated USB port for charging source devices (phones, iPods). The two speakers can be placed as far apart as needed to optimize stereo separation. A remote for controlling volume is included.
The bad: The speakers aren't cheap, and many will find them to be too large and bulky compared with standard PC speakers. The AC power port found in the earlier model is no longer present, and you can't switch between the two inputs--both are always active.
The bottom line: The Audioengine 5+ powered speakers deliver excellent sound quality and provide a clutter-free way to listen to smartphones, iPods, or any other audio source.

10 stars
they make everything better but cost a pretty penny.
by barraking90 on October 13, 2012
Pros: great sound, both high and low freq.
punchy bass
the remote is handy.
crank them hard and there is no distortion
variable output is a good idea.
they WILL make your music sound better right out of the box, and with the D1 it sounds even better!
Cons: the price
they are a bit big for desktop speakers
while the bass is punchy, it does need ramping up on the EQ to get a good balance.
its worth getting the stands to go with, the tweeters are pretty directional
the front light wont turn off!
Summary: while these speakers are kind of expensive, for near studio quality monitors these do the job really well and are worth the price. they are provide great detail and have ...

Summary: while these speakers are kind of expensive, for near studio quality monitors these do the job really well and are worth the price. they are provide great detail and have a great full freq range even when your playing them loud. to get the most of them, you need to be at least 2 meters back, and as for using these as desktops, the A2's would be a better choice. the only real issue that i have with these is that the light stays on when the speakers are in sleep mode, but that is just a small niggle. I can say that without a doubt that you will be impressed with these speakers. just make sure you have at least 256kps songs and a descent sound card (the D1 external DAC is what im running and its made a noticeable difference)
