Hi Audioengine owners,

This is in regard with A5 model.

I bought Audioengine A5 in 2007 and it worked well in all circumstances. Few day back I left it powered on overnight (usually I switch of when I don't use it) and the next day morning I found that it was not working. And I noticed the rear side was overheated. As I'm an Electronics Engineer, I opened the cabinet, measured the out put voltage from the toroidal transformer and there is no voltage. When I checked the connectivity, the primary side(between WHITE and RED) of the transformer is open. I guess this damage happened because of the voltage fluctuation in the power distribution in my area (230v, 50Hz).

I asked Audioengine team to repair it. Since A5 speaker model was discontinued, they don't have the this type of transformer with them. I got same reply when wrote to local re-seller. Having more curious to repair my A5 and love it, I also asked the Chinese manufacture who supplied the transformer to Audioengine. They also don't have stock of that transformer.

Now I find this Audioengine owners group through google. As a last try, I would like to ask, if any one of this forum readers having non-working A5 with the transformer in good condition? If so will you be able to sell the transformer to me? (I live in Chennai, India)

Here is the A5 transformer specification:
Primary: 230v 50Hz
Secondary : 19v-0-19v , 0-10, 15v-0-15v

Thanks and Regards,
Thangavel
