What Hi Fi Sound and Vision
11 SEP 2007
Audioengine A5
If you want to play music from an MP3 player or a computer, but baulk at the reduction in sound quality that seems to come as standard with many MP3 speaker systems, the A5 could be for you.
It’s a pair of active speakers with 45 watts per channel, two 3.5mm audio inputs on the left speaker plus a USB output, handily located on top, a pair of preouts for a sub and a mains AC output for use with Apple’s Airport Express.
Like all standmounts they perform best on stands, producing a rich, expressive sound throughout the range, with a solid underpinning of bass. Add good timing and a balanced stereo image, and this is instant hi-fi.
