Audioengine A2 anything better for the same price???

[andyh]

I am setting up a home office and would like some compact speakers to add to my Mac, in the past I had some JBL creature speakers but the sub just got in the way, so I like the idea of small active speakers.

So the question is are the Audioengine A2's the best to go for? I can get them for about £130, but I don't really want to spend and more than that.

I thank you.

Check out the M-audio AV40's great little active speakers can be had for under £100.

The A2s are fantastic for the money in my opinion. I originally bought them for my kitchen, but, after hearing them, they soon replaced the Harmon Kardon ones in my office and these were relegated to the kitchen!

Can anyone recommend a retailer to get the Audioengines from?

Got mine from Advanced MP3 Players though unfortunately just noticed they're out of stock. However, next day delivery arrived as expected and I also got a faulty power supply unit after a few days so sent in an email about it - the next working day I received a new power supply unit through the post. Can't fault them.

Yeah, that's where I had seen them. It's good to know you got a good service, have to wait until they are back in stock. Thanks for your help.

Out of interest did you go for black or white?

Personally, I went for white, thinking it was more Apple. Depends really on the surroundings though - I use them in my living room now (as I upgraded again to the Epoz AktiMates for the office) where they fit in nicely, so quite glad about that!

I hope I have not broken any Forum rules, but just to say Ecodigital DOES have stock of A2's as of today 18th June.
