I just hooked up a pair of Audioengine A2s I bought on the strength of the recommendations in this post. At first I was incredibly disappointed with the sound. It was muddy and boomy and just sounded awful compared to my old Klipsch promedias. I was seriously ready to pack them up and send them back, but after fiddling with the EQ for a while and putting them on books to get them off my desk they're actually beginning to sound pretty good. I'm still not sure if I prefer them to the Klipsch, but assuming they continue to improve while breaking in I'll most likely be keeping them. Moral of the story: EQ your A2s.

Yeah, getting them off the desk made a much bigger difference than I thought it would. They also seem to sound better the louder I play them, which is a bit counter-intuitive for such a small speaker.

Mang Tomas posted:About to buy a set of A2 audioengine speakers. Just wondering if the stands (Audioengine DS1 Desktop Stand Pair) matter at all for sound quality? I'm placing it on a glass table with my monitor if that helps. I'm also using a glass table and I have my A2s on top of a stack of books. You'll want to raise them off the surface for sure, but $29 is too much goddamn money for the stands imo.

zer0spunk posted:use 2 dollar black rubber doorstops. same exact thing. or a stack of business cards to lift the front edge upward. or don't, it'll just be a little boomier reflecting off the table surface, no biggie. Hadn't thought of this. Thanks.

Stefan Prodan posted:I assume this has sort of turned into the PC speaker mega thread so I thought I could probably ask here: Those old Klipsch systems were great but the amp in the subwoofer had a design flaw that caused it to invariably fail after several years of use. There's a good chance your cables are not the problem.
