I am a road warrior, have a pro touring company, and travel 200,000 air miles a year supporting many live shows. I am always in the hunt for great sounding and petite equipment when I am killing time in hotels.

Have owned these for a year. The entire product line rocks. Works well with MP3s--pitch perfect with an Apple iPod or Apple laptop. I like the 5's over the twos--fuller, richer sound.

You should also look at Blue Sky Audio's EXO product. Has a better nearfield soundstage, is a serious musician/studio product, and you get 150 watts divided by 2 speakers and a subwoofer. Sold through Guitar Center. Perfect for a small room that is den proportions. I got mine wholesale for $200 and none of my musician friends can believe the quality.

I also like the Logitech mm50--best portable docking station--$100 and blows away everything else I have heard--just throw in a backpack and go.

I own all three. Can personally endorse all three as best in class for the money. For my tastes, like the Blue Sky more for sound--very neutral with better defined bass. Hip Hop sounds fantastic on them.
My mistake. My comments were completely off. I was thinking of this speaker which is the "art engine"
I have not, but I know the designer. He says it's very good mid and highs, but has very little output at the bottom end. The single column for right and left is kind of odd and provides stereo, but not a lot in the way of soundstage. Again--this is second hand as I have not heard it directly. Obviously it's as much or more about the look.
I was curious because of all the reviews, so for $200 with free shipping and 30 day return policy, what have I got to lose? The speaker came last week, hook it up to my Slim device connected to Audio Mirror DAC-1. BIG SMILE ON MY FACE!!! I'M KEEPING IT PERIOD!
