Question about Audioengine speakers... A2 or A5+?


So I asked this in Audioengineering, but thought maybe this would be a better place to ask. So anyways... I'm having some trouble deciding on what speakers to buy. The Audioengine A2's or the A5+'s. They would be for music purposes, and I would use them in my bedroom. My room is about 12' x 15'. I'm just afraid if I buy the A5+ they might be too big, and won't have the room to develop a proper sound. What do you think?

Thanks.

If you want even a simulacrum of bass, get the bigger ones (A5+). I've had a pair for years and think they are a tremendous value. The sound is quite non-irritatating and enjoyable. Perhaps a little polite, but I find that far better than the opposite.

No problem with the A5+.  Go for it.  I have them in a room smaller than yours.

I picked up my A5+ during a Black Friday special Audioengine sponsored a few years back. I was planning on getting the A2's but the savings on the bigger speaker was too good to pass up.

In my haste, I overlooked the technical detail that the A5 is rear-ported while the A2 is front ported. For now, that isn't a problem for me but if my desk was smaller and my speakers were against the wall, I'd have to make some decisions.

So, the rear-ported speaker needs some room behind it to get the most from it.

Great speaker, for the money.  Very happy with mine.

YOu guys realize this is a bot or a troll looking to start interest in Audioengine. There are several of them a week. The only way to get rid of them is to not take the bait.
