High Quality Sound Computer Speakers

[5.0] Like many who buy these speakers I read lots of reviews first, both in journals and on websites and from customers who bought them. Yeah, they are expensive but if one considers them high-quality bookshelf speakers rather than high-quality computer speakers they are a bargain. Yes, I am using them as computer speakers but only because I already have large, dedicated sound-system floor speakers. While the A5+ speakers are inspired by studio monitors they are more versatile. First of all, like monitors they will not improve a bad recording. I noticed right away how poorly engineered and recorded some of my favorite 60's rock songs were. And like monitors I can hear things on the recordings such as coughs, dropped objects, and percussion instruments I'd never heard before. But unlike near-field monitors they have a wider stage presence. I have my speakers about ten feet apart and could certainly separate them more without losing that presence. The sound quality is incredible - clean and crystal clear. Some buyers might consider a sub but I am perfectly happy with the bass they produce. I'd rather hear the music the way it was intended to be heard. No messing with equalizers or tone dials. Build quality is incredible. Some folks might not think the design is modern enough, but for me, the understated, matte finish and simple design is exactly what I wanted. The main speaker is heavy, but when you consider what Audioengine put in it, I am amazed it's not heavier. As for the cooling fins, I have not yet noticed them getting even slightly warm. So am I happy with this purchase? Absolutely. Love the speakers and love the service B&H provides.

[Class-D] I spotted these speakers to complete my desktop computer sound system, and I am not disappointed! I have a white desk, white keyboard, white curved monitor, white Fractal Design computer case, white pod chair...you get the idea. It's all very sleek and clean looking. But I wanted speakers that were high-quality and sounded good, with an appearance to fit in with my high-end computer system & home office. The Kanto YU2 speakers are prefect! I have them connected to a 50w 6 1/2 Yamaha ported sub under my desk, and it's actually a little overpowering. (I would like to add the sealed Kanto Sub6 in the future, I think it would be a better match.) But these speakers are not concert hall loudspeakers, they are limited in a perfectly appropriate way for a desktop, facing you a short distance away. That said, they also fill my room with sound, and I listen to them in my nearby kitchen & living room as well. Quality is very high, they have a very sturdy, well-done construction. They actually manage to produce respectable bass, but are quite complete with eh sub I described. I even love the included Kanto 1/4" headphone cable, I use it with my iPhone on occasion. Otherwise, these speakers are connected to my computer via USB, which required no set-up. LOVE them!

[7x NEMA 5-15R] I use this with my computer workstation and have the computer speakers plugged in as a "slave" to my computer so they power down automatically with the computer. Made of high quality materials, I expect many years... decades of use from this product.

[8 x 7.3 x 3.8"] I purchased these speakers for my computer setup and I was amazed at the build quality and sound. One speaker has the amp and electronics and supplies power to the other. These speakers are rated at 80 watts. 40 watts per channel and they are loud and clear. The frequency response is as advertised and it is flat across the spectrum with very, very little harmonic distortion. I could detect none. Excellent for a small room, computer or for DJ's. The controls and bass port are on the front for easy accessibility. Highly recommended.

[< 0.2%] Bought these about a month ago for myself. I had used them before, and loved their sound quality. The speakers are very high quality, and get very loud. Worth every penny.

[Metal] I'm using this mainly to get high quality audio output from my computer to my high-end stereo. Overall, the sound is excellent. Especially the clarity and detail in the high end. The bass is just slightly less tight than the output from my CD player, but quite acceptable. I suspect even that would not be an issue with the balanced outputs. Connecting two Rode NT1A large condenser mics in a stereo pair results in a very high quality recording with a low noise floor, as you might expect from a company like SSL. You can also record one mic for vocals and a direct input from a guitar. Supposedly the channel 3/4 output lets you create a custom headphone mix when doing multitrack recording. I couldn't see how to do that in the DAW software I'm using (Audacity on Windows).

[100 dB] Love the sound and quality of these speakers. OutStanding!
