“In general, the bass was good with a flat EQ setting (coming off an iPod/Mac running iTunes), but some may find it necessary to play around with their computer/iPod’s EQ settings to find one that drops the midrange slightly. Again, given the size, you are not going to find any speaker with a better handle on the midrange, but for $200, you might be expecting more. That being said, the A2’s are plenty powerful, and their drivers pump out a gust of air strong enough to knock over a a house of cards from over 10 inches away. The A2’s are a great choice for those looking for a space-saving home office/bedroom bookshelf system and who do not want to skimp on power.” —— macenstein.com
