Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind

I recently spent some weeks with the A5+. I agree that they are good, especially for the price - and I found that they sound much better on stands, precisely positioned. Actually it was fun how even small changes shifted the sound picture, and this re-positioning was much easier than with my big speakers at home.

OK, there's something very fishy going on here.  At least 4 Audioengine threads in the last two days, all started by absolute newbees.  I smell a rat.

I had a high end electrostatic headphone system before moving to speakers. The headphones may have had more resolution, but in every other aspect the speakers are better. Headphones have their place if isolation is critical or if space is lacking.

Headphones are Hi-Fi, speakers are much closer to real music.

I smell a rat.

I agree. When something like this happens, it is always a suspect. Now-a-days this forum is infested with a lot newbies pushing products…..some agenda or motive. I have seen this happen with a certain speaker company a couple of years ago and a new DAC currently. Such posters harm the brand image rather than promote them.

I agree.  I’ve seen more Audio Engine posts over the past week than I’ve seen in ten years.  Hmmm.
