Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 5 Audioengine models across powered speakers. These are the products in our database, not a complete list of everything Audioengine makes.

What this page covers. The Audioengine models ranked here span powered speakers, including Audioengine A5+ Classic, Audioengine A2+ and Audioengine HD3. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.

This page lists all 5 Audioengine speakers ranked on this site across powered speakers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.

Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Small Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers

Ranked #13 of 25 in Small Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Audioengine A2+: $299.00 per pair Amazon Audioengine eBay

Audioengine A2+ ranking card

Pros: Erin’s Klippel measurements give a 6.10 predicted preference score with an ideal subwoofer. The tiny footprint, multiple inputs and variable RCA output are useful for desktop listening. The existing review found desk placement more forgiving than free-space placement, with no major port-chuffing problem in its tests. Measured bass extension of 105.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The 2.78 standalone score and roughly 106Hz measured -3dB point reveal how much bass is missing without reinforcement or a subwoofer. Midrange and crossover-region dips remain; desk gain is placement-dependent and cannot be assumed to correct them. Compression becomes substantial above roughly 87dB at 1m in the review, so this is a quiet nearfield option rather than a high-output monitor.

Audioengine HD3 ranking card

Pros: A compact desktop stereo option when cabinet size is a priority. Measured bass extension of 65Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Limited bass makes a subwoofer useful for fuller music reproduction. Its compact format is better suited to close listening than filling a large room.

Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers

Ranked #28 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Audioengine A5+ Classic: $399.00 per pair Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Audioengine A5+ Classic ranking card

Pros: ASR’s A5+ Powered measurements give 4.59 standalone and 7.06 with an ideal subwoofer, with a 2.7dB midrange span. The analog powered pair is straightforward to use without an external amplifier. The measured result supports a more capable tonal balance than its former low position suggested. Measured bass extension of 68Hz (-3dB).

Cons: The measured -3dB point is around 69Hz, and the upper-bass recession can reduce body in voices and instruments. The existing review reports crossover-region directivity errors and a distortion feature around 800-900Hz. The score does not make it a reference monitor, and adding a subwoofer cannot correct those midrange and off-axis issues.

Ranked #54 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Audioengine HD6: $817.44 per pair Amazon eBay

Audioengine HD6 ranking card

Pros: Analog and optical inputs, RCA output and built-in amplification provide a convenient self-contained stereo setup. The cabinet and driver size can be practical for general music listening without assembling a separate amplifier system.

Cons: Listening impressions describe bass and treble emphasis with a recessed midrange, which may suit casual listening better than neutral monitoring.

Ranked #59 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Audioengine HD4: $429.00 per pair Amazon eBay

Audioengine HD4 ranking card

Pros: Compact powered cabinets, analog input options and RCA output can simplify a desktop stereo system. Its modest footprint is useful where larger studio monitors are impractical.

Cons: The compact cabinets suit close desktop listening rather than a large-room system. A separate subwoofer adds cost and space if deeper bass is a priority.
