Too much bass
by Kelly on Jan 31st, 2008 at 9:55 AM:
I've had to put bass reduction on my iTunes settings, and stuff the back port of the A5's with cloth (not recommended by their tech support!). Still the bass totally overwhelms the entire 12 x 10 room. I even had to pad under the speakers, tried burying them under the desk on carpet, all to no avail. These things have about double the bass of my other home systems (I have 5 home systems, 3 with subwoofers, and this is much too overpowering!!)
I've contacted audio engine's tech support and they've not been able to help. I really regret the fact that other reviewers missed this entirely. Sure they look nice enough, high quality connections on the back, though they really appear far too big even on my huge 15 feet of office L shaped desks. They should make these with a dial to turn down the bass to about 1/3 of the currently imbalanced output.
Quality control issues

I received my 5's last evening and left the office early, eager to hear what all the fuss is about. Also the main speaker does not work, the fuse is intact, the hookup is correct, just no sound. But the left speaker does try on occasion.
What more could you ask for?

These speakers are the BEST sounding "small" speakers I have ever used. They sound absolutely stunning when hooked up to my Sony PSP or portable CD/MP3 player. Best description I can give is that they sound as good as they look. I highly recommend these speakers.
I'm a believer

I had a chance to hear these things and they were incredible. I had them sitting on my shelf for a day or two before I officially set them up and they were very appealing to the eyes as well. When I unpacked them, the utmost care was put into the packing, opening and set-up. For the money these are a sure buy. I loved the sounds and as the review said, I could hear things that I didn't know existed. From U2 to INXS I found myself "re-enjoying" the music I've heard for many years and waiting in anticipation for that new sound that eventually always was discovered.
