Title: inputs on audioengine A5+ and S8
Post by: jlodvo on Nov 21, 2013 at 06:54 PM: hello guys plan to get audioengine A5+ and S8 for computer used
my question is the S8 a good choice for its price(17k)? or should I get something else? any suggestion? thanks

Pero ok naman for me. :)

I'd go for separates if I were you. the A5+ is better for a computer audio setup. :)

Post by: juanderer on May 28, 2015 at 07:31 PM: wanted the A5+ , cause it compliments my turntable color (white) if it can provide enough details and bass pwede na siguro heheh

anyway, i'm not sure whether id need an additional phono preamp if i go with it. i'll audition na rin muna to be sure. if not id go with the cheaper option of having separates

What's great is its sound doesn't crap out at max volume.

ganda talaga audioenegine, medyo pricey lang though minsan nag sale ang dexterton, I think a month or two back nag sale sila ng previous models and it was sold out agad (stock ng sale items)
