they got distributor now? @_@

yeah, just as what TS wrote up there..i just got the A5 during their promotion at kliav last week..

any DAC recommend to pair with A5 ?? btw A5 user here

i use foobar with laptop soundcard ok already..hehe..thespeaker damn good..today i just got the t muso usb dac..the thing is, the usb dac that i have now works very well with earphones, but pairing with the A5, it increases the bass which i think already powerful enuff hence i have to use some equalizer to decrease some bass (i'm not a basshead)

Wah this speaker looks good...
Where can i find them?
only from the distro issit?

i've been searching for quite a time..as far as i know there are some shops in spore n jb have them beside digital audio in kl

Any one wana post up the prices in Msia?

rm1350 from the shop at first post.

yup, in pudu. so now can get full 3 yrs warranty!

i m pairing it with wm8501

so far i only know the distro.. can hv a try at their shop

but its in KL!
Anywhere in PJ?

it's better in kl rather than else where.. if u are going to lowyat,can go visit,it's in the building somewhere behind times square

This post has been edited by barjoyai: Aug 6 2011, 06:16 AM

iinm they r the one and only.. lol

yeah, last time i totally dig their A5 but totally no way of finding reliable distro to send it over to EastM, in the end settle for another speakers which I feel lacked the low end, unlike reviews of A5 mentioning that A5 is superb at LE. sigh.

@zzloo

Review please!! with pics oso good

okok pics no problem.. i can shoot some when i got time.. but review a.. dont know how to write 1 as i dont have any other pc speakers to compare with

got a N22 powering my Mordaunt Shorts

what speaker you get in the end??

M-Audio BX5a, 1300+ too. great imaging but lacks the LE oomph (VERY weak bass when sits further than 1.5m away) really hurts

i tot BX5A got a Deluxe version which improved the bass rite?

i am using the deluxe version, but bass really = =`` tried quite a few tips from LYN forumers for improving bass response but to no avail, maybe really need a sub

A5 does hav some bass but when plying batman Dark Knight OST, the bass so low, the woofer starts to make "cling-cling" sound macam tak larat...

I've never listen Bx5A Deluxe before, doesnt know what it sounds like, but according to many forums says Bx5A are better at electronic music coz its bass response is fast right?
A5 are more soothing to ear when playing vocal, piano dat type of music.

Actually I was comparing Bx5A Deluxe, A5 and KRK Rokit 5 G2 before, but in the end buy A5 coz no nid convert my PC output to balanced, maybe balanced will have better sound

the bass is fast on the BX yeah, but that further emphasize its inability to hit low, cant even compensate with quantity haha. But I absolutely loved the imaging tho, really "realistic" so to say.

am thinking of adding an AE S8 to it, but again, cash problem and S8 is so ex! 349USD. any idea how much malaysia distro sell S8 for?

S8 should b costing about the same as A5

new user of a5 here. .

A2 user here

anyone knows where i can get belden 1313a cable in klang valley area?

I almost buy N22, but at the end i bought FIIO E9, becos the price is half of audioengine.

Do DAS ship to Sabah? Very interested in P4

I also finding for it

Hey guys, I am looking DAC to pair with my A5.....any recommendation?
Considering Maverick Audio D1.
How is it?

New A5 user here, only pair with Asus Xonar DX. So do I need DAC because I only play games like DotA, MMO and listen some rock songs.

Dear all Sifus,

Price : 1K for used item A5 (1 year) HS80M (4 year)

to Audioengine A5 users...i heard some review stating the unit becomes very hot after playing for 40 minutes continously and will shut down ??. Do you guys face this problem ?

Also is the volume knob long lasting ? It seems very plasticky & fragile

Wait. i just notice there's Audioengine A5+ is launching end of Oct. I guess i`ll wait out that.

Personally I am pairing it with WM8501 which sounds a lot diff to me when listen w/o DAC.

It do get hot quite fast but nvr shut down

the A5+ looks very nice... alot of changes like remote control, dual audio inputs and enhanced thermal management~ totally a complete A5...well done Audionegine~

The price is + too, lucky I get old model later maybe discontinue. A5+ new features that I don't need much but better for ipod, iphone user I think.

just had A5 demo at Tong Lee, Lowyat today. Its a whole new experience for me. Although the A5 is consider a small taste of audiophile speakers, its a great leap in sound quality compare to my logitech z680s. Gonna sell of my z680 asap...LOL

GOGOGO!

guys how much is A2 ?

should be around RM700 if not mistaken..

owh...worth to get or not?..or better to get a5 straight away?

depend how u place your speaker..A2 is best for a desktop speaker for close distance..while A5, make sure the distance you listen your speaker not too close on you as A5 sound will be overpowering...A5 best for place on living hall or large space around you...in term of performance, of course A5 alot better than A2...

never try A2.. i try A5 only and immediately I M IN LOVE!

My A5 got shut down after playing out loud for an hour, overheating... very very hot.

i always play around 1/3 volume for hours and never had any problem

But this time me put it over 2/3 to try it can go loud as it can, but after cooled down about 4-5 minutes it got sound back. I just find out rocks song make A5 more fast heat than techno/trance song if put over 2/3 volume.

i see. most of the time i play vocal, classical, orchestra only

The heat/shutdown issue you face is something affected by some users also if check the online forums. Nothing much you can do about it. Its like a fail safe feature.

The issue will get when play too loud, normally play a5 1/3 wmp 1/2 windows 1/2 just fine. That time a5 volume at 2/3 wmp full windows full, really2 loud like kenduri kawin sound haha.

How's the performance compared to my Edifier S730D? Really liking the wooden look of the AE 5+. How much is it here?

A5+ rm1500 at digital audio studio

i have audioengine 2...duplicate signature sound as a5...what i can say...smooth mid....sweet high....decent low....[refinement of singer's vocal very2 good(some say it was exceptional)...it was like he singing in front of us]

you will also find that A5's sound very clean and help you to differentiate each instrument in music...separation of them is excellent....

want compare with s730d...it's really different league..better you go hear urself...

that all my though <-- noobie

This post has been edited by Ezone89: Nov 25 2011, 02:50 AM

I see, thanks! Where can I go and try it? But I heard the bass is weak?

that y i say bro....if u wan compare a5 with edifier s730d...it totally different league...cuz edifier got subwoofer....it is 2.1 system...but a5 is 2.0 system...it mean the bass will very weak if wan compare with the edifier.....
in 2.0 category then....a5 is one of the best speaker in provide bass...

however...u still can add subwoofer later on a5...audioengine also provide subwoofer to the a5....beware subwoofer in this speaker class quite expensive...about RM1300...

digital audio studio address at comment above..at there u can test the a5

This post has been edited by Ezone89: Nov 25 2011, 10:09 AM

Tried it at Tong Lee today, and I agree with you. It really2 need a subwoofer(well, at least for me). How does the RM1.3k subwoofer sound like?

from what i reading....from whathifi(very famous hi-fi tester) subwoofer from audioengine not really do well and lack of bass definition....but still decent with the price....just got better option...and for the better option u need to refer to really knowledge person to choose a really well subwoofer to suite with audioengine 5....

the subwoofer at this price really powerful(to make sure it can compete with audioengine 5 capability)....if u live in rumah taman....and play loudly at night....i can guarantee police will come to ur house

one more thing....although bass of AE5 weak....but from what i heard.....the bass sounded very accurate.....they can produce very good timbre of each instruments...that mean u can differentiate how each genre of music will sound with greatly...for example....when u listen to nasyid sound....u will aware how peaceful sound they produce.....when u listen to metal sound...u also will aware how aggresive/evil sounded the metal song...this is called ambience...timbre or watever....audiophile really know how to differentiate between high,normal,low quality music sounded....that y they very praise audioengine speakers to the world....because of the quality sound that they can produce...not because they want promote audioengine product like what jerk ppl says.....

Hi guys, I just got a pair of A5+ speakers at the weekend. I went over to DAS in Pudu. They are in the process of moving upstairs at the moment but their audition room upstairs is setup and fine. When I arrived they were demoing the A2's for someone then he showed me the A5+'s he also said that the overheating problem of the A5's has been solved with the plus. The sound was amazing, If you are thinking of getting a pair pop over there and have a listen for yourself. The guys who were there to buy A2s even ended up getting the A5+s instead!
I was only planning on buying the A5+s but when he showed me them running with the AS8 sub it just sounded so good that I ended up buying the sub as well. I also got a USB DAC while I was there as this setup is being used with my 27" Imac.

in terms of sound, is there any difference between A5 with A5+ ?
btw it seems audioengine came out with wireless DAC @_@

Bought the AudioEngine A5+ along with the AS8 from Digital Audio Studio. The sound quality coming out from this speakers is an absolute far cry from my old logitech speakers, and pairs along nicely with my Xonar soundcard. At the moment adjusting the subs crossover for the best middleground for all my media,games and movies.

Wow! RM1k++, surely an upgrade~

i checked out B&W 686 today, fantastic sound. 1.9k for speakers only.

but it must run with amp, any budget amp ? cheapest i saw was 1.1k yamaha.dam

---

Added on February 12, 2012, 10:14 pmjust paid deposit for my ea 5+ today, cheaper than b&w but close performance.

Ae 5+ can with sound card right ? stx ok ah ?

This post has been edited by ExtremeSeller2012: Feb 12 2012, 10:14 PM

not quite sure. i run mine with dac all the time

I run my AE5+ with D2X and it runs great, on the STX it should sound just as good or even better.

i brought Ae a5+ & STX. Get it after 10 days, will upload pics to share .

anyone know if can trade in A5 for A5+ eh? hehe

I just purchased a desktop rubber stand for my aktimate mini from DAS. Had a short conversation with Mr Chin. He's a very nice guy to talk with so i end up staying a little longer than expected.
When i got to my car, I found a love letter in front of my windscreen.

Hi,

to all A5+ owners, any old A5's problems/issues such as amp overheating & left channel is louder than right channel?

Hope to hear from your feedback.

Cheers. CSC

how much they are selling for A2 ?

rm850 i think. Want to upgrade but in dilemma between a5+ and aktimate

This post has been edited by vivakarna: Mar 29 2012, 04:14 PM

anyone know what is the best price for A5+ at the moment?

rm1.5k

hallo, i am looking for audioengine w3? release on this april right?i am intrested on it

]

how much of aktimate cost?

aktimate according other forum discussion it better than a5 a lot

but from a5+ review said that sound better than original a5, so i also wonder is there big gap in term of sound quality between a5+ and aktimate mini

AE5+ AS8 User here =).. Btw guys... what other audio setup you guys have?

review please~ whats the difference with the aktimate mini bro?

I bought it for 1.8k few months ago. Paired it with auzentech sound card.

I am a Headphone kaki, new to speakers never had the chances to try aktimate mini. Btw is a slight improvement compare to the older version (AE5).

I am using audiogd nfb10se as my DAC/preamp. =D

Any RCA cables player or poewr conditoner?

This post has been edited by George.low: Apr 10 2012, 08:06 PM

what sort of improvement from older version?? bass extension??

my friend just auditioned the ae5 at tong lee lowyat, he told me the clarity is great but the bass is weak (he's basshead) and the uncle dont give a proper setup to ae5 to ensure its fully capabilities. The funny thing is, the uncle said to my friend that there is two types of ae5, one without built in sub and one with built in sub(LOLWUT??) and the price is rm1.9k per pair. LOL.

Yup bass extention to for the woofer. was told that is more revealing..


I got my AE5+ around 1.5k

Can I know where can I get audio engine A5+ in Sabah Area?

This post has been edited by NecroPhilia: Apr 18 2012, 01:10 PM

i think audioengine seller only digital studio which is at KL...hm u still can do purchase by posting....

hmm...i dun understand y some review said audioengine a2 sound muddy? when i pair it with my asus xonar dx...it sound really great for me...i dun know if the sound great for me is actually only muddy for other persons??

The aktimate Mini is alot better sounding than the AE5s and the AE5+.

The AE5s need a little room to 'breathe' in order to sound their best while the Aktimates can be used for nearfield or at a more relaxed distance.

They aktimates are deeper and taller than the AE5s however, makes things a little tricky to position, especially in a crowded deskspace.

The Aktimate Micro is my absolute favourite however. Smaller than the AE5s and bigger than the AE2. They are clearer and more detailed than the AE2s while their bass cannot match the Mini or AE5, they present bass in a more controlled and accurate manner, making the AE5s almost sound muddy. I've owned the AE5s and now the AE2 as well.

When I was in Melbourne I was a close friend of a retailer who stocked the Aktimates as well as some other speakers, and I visit his shop quite often for a chat and thus I'm exposed to his range of product as well. To me, the Aktimates are a pedigree above the Audioengines. But the Audioengines are no slouch as well, all highly recommended.

yea aktimate surely more good than audioengine...but the problem is where to find such product in malaysia...?? and 1 more the price will be tad overprice here...if i can find the decent price one...sure i will choose aktimate over audioengine.....
1 more problem...if i go with aktimate micro that price about RM1400-RM1500....better i go with focal xs book that claimed as high-end bookshelf for dekstop...

Hi, does anyone know roughly how much is the N22 amplifier?

The focal XS book might be more expensive than that locally here given the price it already is overseas.

The XSbook looks kinda like the Creative T40 speakers which are very decent in their own right but nowhere near as good as a proper powered bookshelf speaker.

Focal however are a much more reputable audio brand that seems to be doing well as of late. Their Spirit One headphone is also getting alot of good rep.

You can actually buy aktimate mini here in Malaysia. I bought mine locally for rm1.8k.

I wonder how much is P4

I wonder how well will it pair with my NAD302 amp

1.8k is not too shabby considering the asking price in Aus is about 599 retail.

but a5+ same pricing with focal xs book in US, didnt tried ask local seller best price for it, but one of seller state RM1888...quite ,

Hey wilzc, I Have not try akimate Mini. Looking forward to meet the beauty.

About AE5s, the speaker do need more rooms, I try borrowing some acoustic panels and places it at the back of the wall to minimize the bass by bouncing back to reduce the heavy or muddy bass (If you get what i mean).. I'll get use to it =)

This post has been edited by George.low: May 6 2012, 04:16 AM

Aktimate has two great products in the Mini and Micro.

The Maxi is not.. very good IMHO :S

but apparently the Mini will get upgraded soon.

woah....where the info source regarding mini upgrade?

planning to buy @ around sep/oct, hope it new ver can released b4 it...

It seems like I have to put a hold on my purchase xD
