Note that RCA connections or any included adapter are absent on this speaker.
BEST SIMPLE DESKTOPS 2017 PLUS
The right speaker houses the conveniently placed, yet touchy volume knobs, plus easy to access 3.5mm ports for audio devices and headphones. The speakers are stylish and durable, and my own pair has looked great on my different desks for the last six years. They aren’t the smallest speakers out there, nor is the sound isn’t the most accurately equalized, but Klipsch’ hefty speakers pack a serious punch for loud music, movies, gaming. Klipsch’s ProMedia 2.1 speakers are a bulky and boisterous pair of speakers that get serious about volume and bass. This version is at a rather steep price increase for this one extra feature, but if you are getting these for a laptop or have a large library of music on your phone, it can be a worthwhile addition to these fantastic speakers.įind more Harman Kardon Soundsticks III 2.1 information and reviews here.
BEST SIMPLE DESKTOPS 2017 BLUETOOTH
These beautiful, compact speakers can be even more useful too, as they also come in a Bluetooth compatible version. There is little to no frequency muddling or crossover, further enhancing the neutrality of the sound. Its satellite speakers have a combined eight full-range 1-inch transducers, which weave together rich highs and clear mids. The sub isn’t too overpowering, and balances nicely with the speaker’s high end. Its frequency range is 44Hz – 20kHz, which provides for nice extension from its 6-inch downward-facing subwoofer.
These 40 Watt speakers deliver great volume, but more importantly produce an incredibly rich sound. The power button is placed on the subwoofer, which is inconvenient, but helps preserve the unique style of these speakers. The angle-adjustable satellite speakers can be articulated upwards to direct sound, and take up very little desk space for the sound they pack. Also on the right speaker is a 3.5mm jack as its lone input, neglecting to add an RCA connector or adapter. The stunning and durable transparent polycarbonate material and modern, rounded shape are so well designed, that their preceding model is a part of the permanent collection at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.Įverything about this pair of speakers is quality, down to its thick silver-lined cable and touch-sensitive controls on the right speaker. The Harman Kardon Soundsticks III 2.1 speakers are an absolutely beautiful pair of speakers that delivers equally beautiful sound. As long as you don’t mind saving the sub for a later upgrade, the A2+ is an outstanding pick.įind more Audioengine A2+ information and reviews here. Despite not coming with a subwoofer, these speakers achieve audiophile quality sound at an enormous value. Plus, if you are hoping to get more bass sound out of these speakers, you can use the analog out ports to connect a subwoofer like the Polk Audio PSW10 and complete the 2.1 setup. Its sound is particularly impressive considering that these speakers do not perform any digital signal processing, which other speakers use to give their cans an artificial boost in bass frequencies.ĭSP can ultimately improve a speaker’s sound, but a more pure, unbiased sound makes for a more authentic listening experience. Bass is somewhat lacking because of the size, but considering this, is overall balanced and clear. Their frequency range of 65Hz-22kHz makes for a sharp and clear high end sound as well as a punchy low end sound. They do, however, create an enormous soundstage with far-stretching stereo sound. They get far louder than their size should allow, but will ultimately be drowned out by the din of a large party. With only a pair of 2.75-inch subwoofers and 3/4-inch silk dome tweeters, one might not expect much volume from these 60 Watt A2+ speakers, but they deliver a surprising amount of volume. The rear placement of the volume knob is an unfortunate design flaw, but one that can be easily overlooked because of its sound.
In addition to its analog 3.5mm and RCA inputs, these speakers also have a USB DAC (digital audio converter), which sounds great.

These speakers have a very small desk footprint, especially considering they do not come with a subwoofer, and even without a separate sub produce a full range of sound.Īlthough they are pricey compared to traditional 2.1 computer speaker setups, they are a solid value as an in-between product that touches on high-end audiophile quality. The Audioengine A2+ is a powered 2.0 speaker system made to work best with computers, despite sporting the durability of studio monitors and the form factor of bookshelf speakers.
