“I moved the Audioengine 2 out from the desktop and played them in my bedroom hooked up to a CD player. Wow, with more breathing room the sound was even better and stereo imaging stretched way beyond the actual locations of the speakers. True, rocking out with Spoon’s Gimmie Fiction CD revealed they don’t sound like a set of mighty floorstanding tower speakers, but the Audioengine 2s are a leap over the pint-sized competition or one-piece iPod speakers. The Audioengine 2s can play fairly loud, but sound best at low to moderately loud volumes. Even audiophiles used to the good stuff will dig these speakers, they’re that good.” —— cnet.com
