Top Three 2.0 PC speakers

A run down of the top 3 high end 2.0 speakers for the PC.
|
Audioengine A2 Rs. 10,400 This one claims to bridge the gap between consumer and hi-fi audio, and this considerably new brand Audioengine took a shot at marketing their product towards the audiophiles who needed a PC speaker set. These active speakers are powered by a dual class AB amp, the output stage being a toroidal transformer. The output rating is 30 W max per channel, just like the Z10s. It is made of a thick MDF cabinet and is available in simple black gloss or white. Design wise, it's way more watered down than the other 2 contenders. An EP input and a separate RCA stereo input is present, and a speaker output pair to feed the right channel. The speakers are two-way, with 20 mm silk dome tweeters (neodymium magnets) and 2.75" Kevlar woofers. Performance wise, this model is noted for its humongous bass, which was really hard. It can tend to overpower the rest of the spectrum, but overall the bass is great. It's not only the bass, the full response is rounded and neutral level-wise. If I were to nitpick, I might say the timing of the bass could have been a bit better. The sound was very open and most closely resembled a classic bookshelf pair out of the three. One problem is there though, the back panel of the speaker heats up a lot, this might be a problem in the long run. |
