Clicking Heard Thru Computer Speakers

Like many who buy these speakers I read lots of reviews first, both in journals and on websites and from customers who bought them. Yeah, they are expensive but if one considers them high-quality bookshelf speakers rather than high-quality computer speakers they are a bargain. Yes, I am using them as computer speakers but only because I already have large, dedicated sound-system floor speakers. While the A5+ speakers are inspired by studio monitors they are more versatile. First of all, like monitors they will not improve a bad recording. I noticed right away how poorly engineered and recorded some of my favorite 60's rock songs were. And like monitors I can hear things on the recordings such as coughs, dropped objects, and percussion instruments I'd never heard before. But unlike near-field monitors they have a wider stage presence. I have my speakers about ten feet apart and could certainly separate them more without losing that presence. The sound quality is incredible - clean and crystal clear. Some buyers might consider a sub but I am perfectly happy with the bass they produce. I'd rather hear the music the way it was intended to be heard. No messing with equalizers or tone dials. Build quality is incredible. Some folks might not think the design is modern enough, but for me, the understated, matte finish and simple design is exactly what I wanted. The main speaker is heavy, but when you consider what Audioengine put in it, I am amazed it's not heavier. As for the cooling fins, I have not yet noticed them getting even slightly warm. So am I happy with this purchase? Absolutely. Love the speakers and love the service B&H provides.

This was purchased for my wife's computer, and she was astounded by how many new sounds she had never heard from her old speakers were now being heard. This is a terrific value for the quality and depth of the sound output. No negatives at all.

I also ordered the IRX115S as well to fill out the low end. These speakers would be fine for a lot of applications without the sub but I needed it for a wedding. There is some quiet clicking that I can’t get rid of and a very quiet hiss. I think it is a nonissue for their application. I ran these from a battery in my UPS to see if I had dirty power but the same exact clicking happened. I decided I don’t care enough to troubleshoot further because you can’t hear it while music is playing. As a note: I only hear it while the units are wide open.

These speakers sound incredible. Have not heard a better sound since I got my first five years ago so I got another one!

it's great for computer speakers

I am using this cable to connect my computer with speakers.

These are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard in my 67 years of life

Increases the distance my speakers can be placed from the computer

Excellent computer speakers, amazing sound and quality.

I use this to power my outdoor speakers off my computer, and it works great!!!!!
