Audioengine 2 (A2) are high-quality powered speakers designed to be hooked up to your media player or computer. They are marketed as the "little brother" to the popular Audioengine A5 speakers, retailing for $150 cheaper, coming in at around $200. The A2s are made from the same materials: 1) high-gloss Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) for the cabinet, 2) kevlar mid-range drivers, 3) silk dome tweeter. The main difference is that they are 1/3 the size of their bigger sibling with less power.

Details
The Audioengine A2 speakers deliver 15 Watts RMS per channel with a peak output rating of 30 Watts / channel delivered from its Dual Class AB monolithic amplifiers. This power is delivered by the 2.75" Kevlar mid/bass driver and a 20mm silk dome tweeter. For their small size, they still deliver decent bass with a frequency response of between 65Hz - 22kHz because of the acoustic properties of the wood cabinet.
