5.0 out of 5 stars Epic setup for PC speakers, or as a Sonos/Apple Driver. Power and Accuracy.
Let me start off by saying these are way more than just computer speakers - but thats what I purchased them for (at least at first). They also KILL as stand alone speakers when used with Sonos or Apple (or other sources too I imagine).I purchased a set of A5+ speakers to replace my long running Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 system for use on my home office PC. I work as a Sales Engineer, with lots of time spent in front of my PC working on spreadsheets, researching and doing other work - all the while listening to a mix of streaming music and NAS served MP3 content. I also play my fair share of PC games, (MW3, Battlefield etc). I was (pretty) happy with the ProMedia - at the time they were one of the best options, especially for the price. I finally drove them into the ground and was searching for replacements. My local Fry's had frankly - terrible selection in the PC speaker department (at any price). Logitech? Please. I consider myself a discerning consumer - I love the high end, however I am value oriented. That being said, I have the means to spend more than most. I started looking at higher end monitor speakers which is how I found my way to the AudioEngine lines.The other challenge for me - I listen to a wide variety of music. Everything from Prodigy, to Korn, to Depeche Mode - Pop (I have kids so hello Katy Perry!)...Nine Inch Nails...Classical, and yes even Rap and Acoustic. And when I'm playing MW3 or Battlefield 3 - I like it to sound like WW3 is going off around me and give me the spatial clues to know when someone is coming up behind me. Speakers that typically give me the boom I want when I'm listening to Rap sound muddy when trying to hit the technical pulse of a dubstep or drum and bass record. I want my Bass tight and controlled. I also tend to like it LOUD (or at least be able to play loud when I want) without distortion or making my ears sore.Now at $399 a pair for the A5+'s ( I bought two - front/rear), they were considerably more expensive, but they sounded WAY better, and much louder. I was happy - and while the A5+s deliver strong bass for their size, there just isn't any way a small speaker can replicate low end frequencies. In my opinion, you shouldn't just purchase the A5s without the Sub if you are really into music. The A5's are hands down one of the best performing/sounding speakers at their price point. At lower volumes you can get away with out a sub, but once you start to turn them up, the missing/lack of low end is much more apparent and disappointing.Simple solution - I added the AS8W sub and I was blown away.Instant HUGE upgrade. Before I got the sub, whenever I'd show them off, I'd get "that really sounds good" or "those are sweet". Now I get "WOW". For those of you that are considering using these for PC speakers (and have the means) add them to your cart. You wont be sorry. 1100+ may seem like alot for 4 speakers and a sub (not really), but the build quality is incredible, setup options galore and the sound is amazing. VERY well matched. I can listen to them at low levels and they sound great...and turn them up. Sitting inside 4 of these speakers with the A8 sub is frankly spoiled me. I thought my Car sounded good with 5K worth of Focal speakers and two 10's. This matches it at a fraction of the cost. I am used to a tight, loud bass that has real punch, presence and yet doesn't overpower the rest of the instruments - and adding this sub delivered just that. If you have the means to go with 4 A5+s and this sub - you will create the ultimate 4.1 computer sound setup. It will rock a room HARD. I literally can turn it up until it starts to hurt - and it still sounds clear and tight. Which frankly was my expectation. Mission accomplished AudioEngine!I also purchased a set for my wife's craft room. She likes Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani - Pop mostly. I hooked it into our Sonos system. It sounded good enough for her (the A5+ by themselves (one pair)), but again -needed more low end. I added this sub under her desk and last night I hear her showing it off to her girlfriends (not the speakers - she didn't even notice how nice they look), but rather listen to this! They spent the next hour just listening to different songs. AudioEngine needs to get with Sonos and bundle as its a fantastic combination. Did I mention it will f'kin ROCK a room? Seriously.Highly recommended at the price point. Not sure if this is what I'd go with as a DTS setup, but for music you will be thrilled with Audioengine A5 speakers and AS8 Sub.Bottom line - great bang for the buck and a necessary add on to any AudioEngine bookshelf speaker set. You wont be sorry.
5.0 out of 5 stars NOW nothing's missing!
Title: Perfect Match for an Immersive Audio Experience!I recently upgraded my audio setup with the AudioEngine S8 subwoofer, paired with the A2+ speakers, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result. This combination has truly transformed my listening experience, offering a rich, immersive sound that fills the room.The S8 subwoofer brings a depth to the bass that I didn't realize I was missing. Whether it's movies, music, or games, the lows are now deep and clear, without any distortion. It's compact enough to fit into my space without taking over, yet powerful enough to make its presence felt.Pairing it with the A2+ speakers was a game-changer. The A2+s already offer crisp, clear highs and mids, and when you add the S8 into the mix, you get a full-range sound that's hard to beat at this price point. The setup was incredibly easy, and the build quality of both products is top-notch, as I've come to expect from AudioEngine.Whether you're an audiophile or just someone who appreciates good sound, this setup is a fantastic investment. It's elevated my enjoyment of all forms of media, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Five stars for a product that truly delivers on its promises!
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Subwoofer Speaker and at fair price.
Great Subwoofer for the money. Easy to hook up. And the Bass sound is very good. I did not know what I was missing. It really makes my audio system sound so much better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little Black Box
I purchased the AudioEngine S8 Subwoofer to complement the A5+ speakers I had recently purchased. What a wonderful sound! The A5+ speakers already had a nice sound with a surprising amount of low end, but of course the really low frequencies just can't be reproduced by a 5" speaker. The S8 Subwoofer takes over where the A5+ leaves off. A perfect combination. I decided on the S8 because of its compact size. Don't let the size fool you, it is a powerful little speaker. I get as much sound as I want out of this black box. No need to crank it up to maximum. It has plenty of power and output with the volume control set at its halfway point. It took a few minutes laying on the floor reaching around the back of the subwoofer to get the crossover adjusted just right. The sub can give you too much mid bass if you don't adjust it just right. That's because the A5+'s I have do such a nice job on the low end already. I would assume if you are pairing the S8 with the A2 speakers then you can have the S8 give you more of the mid bass frequencies. My only complaint with the speaker is the pointed feet attached to the bottom of the speaker. I put some scratches on my hard wood floor moving the speaker in and out of position near the wall, as I adjusted the controls on the rear. The pointed feet are too sharp. Felt covered wider posts would be better than plastic cones that narrow to points. This is a moderately heavy speaker. Maybe the cone shaped feet work better on a carpeted floor. There, the cones would have less tendency to dent carpet. I would suggest Audio Engine ship these subwoofers with a set of optional flat feet instead of a cloth bag. The improved footware would be a better way to spend the money wasted on the cloth bag. And I could have saved my shiny wood floors from scratches. I would have loved to have had a bamboo wood version of the S8 available to buy, so I could have matched it to my elegant A5+ speakers. I would definitely recommend the AudioEngine S8.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound
I'm not an audiophile nor to I fully understand the settings to optimize this but I immediately noticed the difference once this was hooked up to my receiver to complement the other 5 speakers.Extremely simple to set up. A good looking unit and it has the capability to rattle the pictures on my walls if that's the level you like to listen at. I'm very happy with it and enjoying movies and music that much more because of it
The Audioengine S8 Powered Home Subwoofer is a game-changer for my audio setup!
With its powerful 250W output and 8-inch subwoofer, it delivers deep, rich bass that adds incredible depth to music and movies. The compact design fits perfectly in my space, and the build quality is top-notch. Setup was a breeze, and it pairs seamlessly with my existing speakers. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their sound experience!
Bajo Profundo por un buen precio
Excelentes con las A5 de audio engine mejores q kanto
Parfait !
Alors là ! C’est quelque chose ! Ce caisson de basse fera passer votre installation audio à un niveau supérieur. Lorsque l’on parle d’un caisson de basse, on imagine toujours l’amplification des boum boum, mais pas du tout. Un caisson de basse amplifie et donne de la profondeur à tout… les voix, les guitares, etc. Toute la scène sonore se voit amplifiée par toute la dynamique offerte par le caisson.En plus de cela, la maîtrise parfaite des basses et percussion proposées par le S8 est inouïe et admirablement précise et bien maîtrisée, offrant des basses tendues et profondes… un plaisir pour les oreilles… Prodigieux !J’ai beaucoup de matériel audio, mais cet ensemble enceintes Audioengine A2+ et son subwoofer S8, pour une valeur de 700 euros, offre une qualité sonore que l’on retrouve généralement dans des produits beaucoup plus chers. Alors bravo aux concepteurs de ces produits, car ils proposent un rapport qualité-prix excellent.Alors, à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer le cap d’un son haut de gamme à un prix très correct, je vous recommande ce sub-woofer S8 associé à une paire d’enceintes de la même marque.Foncer vous ne le regretterez pas !!
Vor gut einem Jahr als Ergänzung zu meinem Cabasse Subwoofer gekauft
Okay, zwei Subwoofer scheinen für einen 20 Quadratmeterraum überdimensioniert. Problem bei mir ist der Raumschnitt mit großem Eingangs- bzw. Durchgangsbereich. Bekomme mit nur einem Subwoofer keine vernünftige Klangverteilung hin und müsste das Gerät sehr ungünstig platzieren.Idee: Ich hole mir noch einen zweiten und balanziere die gegeneinander aus. Immer noch nicht optimal, aber deutliche Verbesserung und sie stehen gut platziert, ohne ein Hindernis zu sein. Und ein bisschen protzen gehört halt zum Leben dazu.Der Audioengine S8 250W bietet ein sehr gutes Preis/-Leistungsverhältnis, ist im oberen Bereich leicht am schwächeln und im unteren Bereich etwas zu bissig und nicht ganz so elegant im Sound wie der Cabasse.Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig, das Design ist ansprechend und das Gerät ist von der Größe her nicht zu klotzig.Auf der Oberseite hat es einen Fabrikfehler. Leichte Eindellung, die man aber nur im Gegenlicht sieht. Ich war zu faul, den Subwoofer deswegen umzutauschen.Fazit: Bin sehr zufrieden.
Ottimo prodotto
Unito alle casse della stessa casa produttrice rende il suono corposo e potente . Sono molto soddisfatto.
