KingTacoMunster Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Does anyone have these, or had them before? Looking to upgrade my system and are leaning toward these as my speakers. My main question is, can I go with the A2's? My space isnt huge, my house has kind of a weird shape, the living room is long and narrow, so the couch is across from where my TT would be, about 8 to 10 feet, would the A2's be loud enough?

Tardcore Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think he was referring to the dimensions of the room. That said, i think that the A2s are best suited as near-field desktop speakers and that you would be better of stepping up to something larger if you want to fill a room.

KingTacoMunster Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I love my a5+ Awesome, since im buying a pro-ject TT along with these speakers, I think ill have to go with teh A2s to save around 200 bucks, because I believe the a2s will be loud enough.

Multiverse Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm currently using A2s on my computer and A5+s on my Turntable, I love both!You should be safe with A2s on the Turntable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 pretty ok price on a demo pair of A5+s http://www.musicdirect.com/p-130876-audioengine-a543-powered-bookshelf-speakers-black-demo.aspx http://www.musicdirect.com/p-279052-audioengine-a543-powered-bookshelf-speakers-bamboo-demo.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk99 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Is there a comparable alternative to A2+? I want them. The only reason I ask is b/c I'm thrifty. I don't see them go on sale much, so I'd like to monitor another product to see if there are sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 If you're thrifty, buy them used on ebay. Better yet, grab a used pair of Swans M200MKII when they pop up. You can get them for under $200 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The a5+ was on sale but it seems like it's been a while since A2+ was up. Hoping it will be soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I got the micca pb42x for 100 on amazon. Normally 200 and i think they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saving up for U-Turn Audio table, but will be able to pull the trigger sooner now that the A2+ is not part of the equation.
