Audioengine makes relatively affordable speakers for audiophiles, but the Audioengine 2 represents something of a break: $200 computer speakers for sound snobs. There's no fancy styling, no subwoofer, and no remote control-all you really get is stellar sound.
Accurate, pristine audio performance; Full-bodied but not overpowering bass; Handles high volumes well; Attractive design
Large footprint; Not for those who seek subwoofer rumble; No remote or extra features
