I purchased a pair after hearing them at RMAF last year. They are pretty phenomenal for the price both in the quality and the sound. It is revealing, far more so than regular computer type speakers, of the source material. I hooked my computer up to them through a PS Dac Link iii and it sounded amazing. Highly recommended.
Compared to run-of-the-mill PC speakers - Good
Compared to NHT M-00 and S-20 they don't hold a candle.
They sound pretty good for the size and if you are just looking to get better speakers for your computer they are great. I have mine hooked up to my Imac and they look good too. They sound nice for evaluating online music and such. Anyone who hears them always makes a comment on how good they sound and it is amazing how much bass comes out. They won't play very loud, so if you are thinking of listening to music loud at all forget it.
Just got mine a few days ago. I have listened with iPod (both MP3's and Apple lossless)and laptop as sources (no external DAC). So far, I have only tried them on my desktop.

I'm really enjoying the A2's so far. Easy to listen to, not fatiguing at all to my ears. I listen to a wide range of music- jazz, classical, rock, vocal- and stuff just sounds good on these little guys.

I have to strongly disagree with folks who sometimes write that these speakers are not suitable for music listening. They won't, of course, compete with larger or more expensive systems. But, in my opinion, the A2's are not just a great value. They are musical.... for $199 I think they represent a terrific inexpensive desktop option.

Tonight, I'm going to try them with my widescreen LCD TV just for fun....
