Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Caramel, Pair)
- No Longer Available
With high-end features and unsurpassed sound reproduction, the Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Pair) will take your home theater listening experience to a whole new level. This elegant speaker was designed for both professional and entertainment enthusiasts with the capability to deliver crystal clear dialog, and tight sound response. The low-frequency drivers are constructed of Kevlar woofers with advanced voice coils and rubber surrounds. This adds unsurpassed rigidity and strength to the 5" drivers. The 3/4" silk dome tweeters are coupled with neodymium magnets, capable of reproducing exquisite highs with a frequency response up to an amazing 22KHz.
Custom designed and handcrafted cabinets with high-gloss professional piano finish make this unique speaker a work of art. Furthermore, to minimize unwanted resonances and distortion, this speaker is constructed with thick high-resin MDF walls with extensive internal bracing; the cabinet materials use environmentally-friendly resins and binders. Also, heavy internal sound-damping material is used to reduce unwanted sound reflections inside the cabinet.
This speaker offers great features such as iPod charging capabilities, 75W of peak power (each), dual class AB monolithic amplification, dual audio inputs, and a full range of audio frequencies to complement a variety of your audio selections. Its stylish design will complement the newest flat-screen Plasma and LCD TVs in your home theater set-up. If you want a custom built, high-end, well-constructed bookshelf speaker, look no further than the Audioengine A5N.

Comments about Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Caramel, Pair):
Big time props to the folks at Audioengine for creating an incredible high-quality powered speaker system! These two speakers can more than fill up a large living room. Big plus not having to have a separate amplifier and paired with an Apple Airport Express, it makes for a very low profile yet high quality wireless home audio system. Sounds AMAZING with the Audioengine S8 subwoofer!

Comments about Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Caramel, Pair):
I like to think of myself as a very discerning music listner and frankly I am amazed at the sound quality of these bookshelf speakers for the price. In my expereince, I find it very hard to find exceptional sounding speakers for less than $1,000/pair. Even so, you can easly spend over $1,000 on "well known" and recognizable brand name bookshelf speakers that will never provide as good a sound stage and depth of field as the Audioengine A5's (I bought the Bamboo finished pair) I already own high end audio equipment, so why did I buy these small self powered bookshelf speakers? Well.. Im moving from the suburbs to the city and I don't need (nor will my neighbors tolerate) a 750 Watt stereo system with 5 foot tall speakers. I just need high quality sound in a small package.. and these speakers deliver. Anyone want to buy a 10 year old 400 Watt/channel Macintosh Stereo system with Electostatic Planner speakers and a 350 Watt subwoofer? I don't even think I will miss my old stereo setup after buying the Audioengine A5 speakers.

Comments about Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Caramel, Pair):
I use it with an iPod classic docked,using the line-out. I also use it with an Airport Express to stream wirelessly from iTunes/my mac! Sleek and cool! READ MY LIPS: Forget 128k mp3 if you mean music!!! ENCODE your music in Apple lossless and ENJOY! Try and connect a CD player (deck) if you still have such a device and play an audio CD to see what I mean. ...BUT: To truly get the best out of it, get the S8 subwoofer. They are meant to be together!!! It is just a marketing trick they are sold separately!! I got the bamboo/caramel pair and had to pay extra which is the single "not so great thing" about it! But the caramel/bamboo looks awesome. And great match with my furniture!!! Unless you live in a chimney, it'll look great in yours too...!They are not your average PC speakers!!! These are serious audio gear! I wish they had a model with higher power, though![...]Highly recommended!!!

Comments about Audioengine A5N BAMBOO 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker (Caramel, Pair):
These speakers not only sound great, but look great, and are great fun to use. When I first heard about the 'extras' on these speakers I was skeptical--extras are often added as a way to make up for/detract from cheap quality. That's not the case with these speakers, however, they are extremely solid, well built, and have superb sound for the price point (at least, they were a big upgrade over my previous set of speakers). I also found I really don't need a 2.1 system, these speakers are powerful enough as is. I do happen to have an airport express already, so the auxiliary power on the back, and also the USB port on the top, have been very convenient.
Since the speakers are powered, one of them is a little heavy. It was not a problem for me and probably won't be for most of the people buying the speakers. If it is for you, just have a friend help you with the box and putting them in place. How often will you need to move them beyond the initial setup anyway?
Highly recommended!
