Original Limitations (Note 3): Why is the power button on the back? Not only that; Why is he in a weird place in the background? I have to grope for the heat spreader instead of just turning on the speakers. Why not place the power button on the front? Is the volume switch set to infinity? There is no indication of the volume and the knob spins forever but roughly speaking the volume stops increasing but which db am I on? The left speaker made an odd feedback noise when I turned the speakers on. Will it happen again like other reviews say? The speakers sounded terrible for the first few hours. On the other hand, I have a professional stereo in another room and I'm used to hearing certain nuances in the music that I don't get when playing MP3s through my computer. I bought and waited for the Cambridge Audio DAC-Magic 100 to overcome the limitations of Dell computer audio. If I set up and run the whole system, it might sound like real music. I have played in the speakers BURN and large collections of certain music artists. Yes, the speakers sound better, but oh well! Such a deep penetrating power is not achieved in this price range for these loudspeakers. A good soundstage is achieved by placing the speakers away from the walls and computer screen. Once I get the Cambridge Audio DAC-Magic 100 into the system I will update the review as it could be a Dell machine. Again, I'll never be a fan of MP3s. If the CDs continue to lose sales, I will switch to FLAC. Why am I writing about MP3 music if I don't like it that much? Because when I buy music on Blu-Ray, SACD, DVD, CD or LP; Sometimes Revain gives me a free MP3 file to save on my computer and iPhone. Yes, MP3s are great for phone calls with other music lovers, but not for serious listening. Update: I just got a Cambridge Audio DAC-Magic 100, ahh much better. I am adding a rating of 3 to 4 stars for speakers. So my new Dell computer's DAC added the MP3 limits set for the AudioEngine A5 Plus speakers. I hear cleaner bass and more separation with the Cambridge DAC. I can live with it on the computer and listen to music while I work. I choose the Cambridge DAC over the AudioEngine DAC because it has more sample rates, better build quality and the Cambridge is known for being good value for money. The question is whether you want a DAC with a headphone jack or a DAC with a more historical hi-end audio history. The choice is yours, but don't buy speakers individually. Who knows what a DAC is in your computer.
