The audioengine A2 speakers are a powerful 2.0 audio option for casual, office and home theater use.
Highs: High quality finish; compact design; connects to multiple sources

Audioengine recently announced the little brother to the A5, the A2 desktop speaker set. The A2 speakers are roughly half the size of the A5 and they don't put out quite as much power, but they seem to have just as much intensity per cubic inch as the A5's.
