after having checked out every type of ipod/computer speaker set up going for under about £400 i found this set of bookshelf speakers from USA outfit audioengine - having a look at their website will make you realise how much these guys obsess over sound quality! and its not lost on these two speakers
sure you're thinking well i quite want a subwoofer for bass, trust me you won't feel the need after hearing these (if you really do you can plug in a powered sub anyway!). they still make me speechless with the amount of crystal clear noise they kick out even running from my vaio laptop with pretty useless sound card. from an ipod they are even better.
i haven't had the guts to turn them up beyond half way on the volume knob as it hurts my face, but there is no sign of a decrease in quality. the ratings on their website are definately conservative.
as for the look and feel they're awesome, even cooler than my old jbl creatures. added to this the usb charge dock and airtunes style power output at the back they are sheer genius.
audiophile? i am now. buy these. buy them now.

I bought a pair of these to go in the bedroom with a Logitech wireless Squeezebox as the input source and have been impressed with them.
The sound is great for the price, and the convenience of the USB charging socket on the top and the power outlet on the rear (so I only need to use one socket for the speakers and Squeezebox) tops it off.
Highly recommended, although the lack of grille over the front may be an issue if you have inquisitive kids that like to poke thier fingers in things.

Plugged them in (took 5 mins), turned them up a touch, played my favourite test music (I'm a live sound engineer) and just sat there and enjoyed. Very nice flat response with a clear and punchy (not boomy at all) bass and a nice smooth top end and mid.
All in all a good buy and value for money - the good reviews they have elsewhere do not lie :)
Only one small thing is that the aux power out is a US socket, but that's not a huge problem.
Let's just hope they last because I don't want them to ever die...

Never thought I'd rave about a set of speakers
As I am not an audiophile, I didn't expect I'd ever rave about about a set of speakers. However, I am a huge fan of the A5 speakers.

Superb
These are excellent speakers. The price and extra "features" (USB port, power socket etc) make them superb.
