AudioengineP4 Passive Bookshelf Speakers | Home Stereo High-Performing 2-Way Desktop Speakers (Black)

E' sorprendente cosa questi cubetti siano capaci di fare: offrono brillantezza, profondità, spazialità e ricchezza di armonici che solo diffusori di fascia ben più alta (e costosa) possono offrire. Le ho testate con un ampli Yamaha A-S201 e poi installate con ampli Cambridge Audio A500 e lettore Cambridge Audio Azur 340C: la resa è strepitosa, splendidi in particolare il suono degli archi, il pianoforte, la voce. Ottima la finitura esterna. Davvero un affare.

Audioengine N22 (ampli) + Audioengine P4 (enceintes) + Audioengine D1 (DAC)L'ensemble fournit un son d'une très grande qualité musicale. Y compris dans les basses. Sans doute les A5+ sont-elles plus intéressantes pour le Home Cinema. Mais pour la musique, les P4 sont mieux ! Il y'a moins de basses, le son est plus clair.Je suis TRÈS satisfait.Enceintes : superAmpli : super. On peut même faire jouer source 1 et source 2 en même temps (pas besoin d'appuyer sur un bouton pour passer de l'une à l'autre)DAC : plus l'ordinateur est pourri, plus ça change tout ! Avec ça le son est bon, très bon, incontestablement meilleur que quasi partout où vous irez.Pour le DAC, si vous utilisez linux il vous faudra un "sound server" tel que "pulseaudio" (il est installé par défaut sur la plupart des distributions). En effet, la carte son du DAC n'accepte qu'une seule source à la fois (=pas possible d'émettre du son simultanément dans deux logiciels différents).

Before buying these speakers I wasn't sure what I was getting. Audioengine made some lofty claims about their build quality and after trying out the A5 active speakers I was a bit dubious. They really did win me over though, and here's why:Sound: By far the most important thing when you're dropping $250 for a set of speakers. If you want studio-monitor neutrality, these aren't for you. Having said that, I never heard any noticeable shift in volume depending on the fequency. Especially compared to KEF (which have dips in response prominent enough it sounds like you suddenly turned down the volume) they were solid. Comparing them to NHT Superzero 2.0's, they didn't embarass themselves in regards to neutrality.More importantly, these things rocked! They can be pushed to high enough volume to fill a moderately sized room without distortion. They are extremely musical, and it was hard to tear myself away from the sofa listening to (especially rock) music... finally a speaker designed with music in mind.Bass extension was very surprising. They are listed as barely dipping into the upper 50 hz range. Paired with the N22 and taking into account their front ports though, I firmly believe they play lower than their specs indicate. One caveat being I definitely think this boost in the lower end, which was nice and tight rather than boomy, is the result of engineering the N22 and the A4's to compliment each other. A subwoofer is not absolutely mandatory (though a good idea).The only area I thought they fell short compared to other great speakers in their price range was detail. These aren't just loudspeakers but I could not hear the subtle sounds that some other models brought out in my lossless files+dac music set-up.Build: The only thing I have to say is watch the tweeters.. and even they seem about as durable as a speaker's most delicate part can get. The kevlar woofers? You could go so far as to push on them with a finger, and they feel VERY scratch resistant.The cabinents are well made and I don't imagine them showing wear & tear easily. Combined with the included dampening pads they are very non-resonant and sturdy. The gold inputs are icing on the cake... its virtually impossible to find that kind of quality signifier below $400.They are also MUCH smaller than I thought. Although they perform like real bookshelf speakers, their size is more comparable to some satellite speakers than any full fledged bookshelf speaker. Definitely something that'll blend in easily wherever you put them, and helps with imaging.I heavily recommend these speakers if you don't have some elaborate set-up to bring out the tiny details in music (or if you are more concerned with rocking out than quietly picking out notes). They're also quite portable... very easy to travel with in a small bag if you want to bring good sound with you on a vacation.

Ich hatte mir diese beiden Boxen bestelle, da ich mit dem Klang meiner JBL-Boxen sehr unzufrieden war. Ich hatte bereits die Audioengine-A2-Boxen und war von denen begeistert, so dass ich mir jetzt auf gut Glück die P4 bestellte. Und der Unterschied ist gewaltig. Die P4 sind einfach spitze. Unglaublich, was Audioengine aus so kleinen Boxen rausholt! Ein glasklarer Klang, gegen den meine vorherigen Boxen klingen, als seien sie mit einer Wattehülle versehen. Präzise Höhen, klare Mitten und sogar erstaunlich viel Bass für Boxen, die gar keinen Basstöner haben. Ich höre Töne und Geräusche über diese Boxen, die ich bei den vorherigen Boxen überhaupt nicht wahrgenommen habe. Einfach Klasse. So macht das Musikhören wieder richtig Freude. Diese Boxen sind absolut ihren Preis wert.

die Klangqualität und Lautstärke sind auf einem sehr hohen Niveau. aber es Basis fehlt ein bisschen so ein Subwoofer erforderlich!
