These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Audioengine A2+ ranks #19 of 48 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality at $299; the Klipsch ProMedia Lumina ranks #4 of 8 powered subwoofer and satellite combo speakers by sound quality at $379.99.
The case for the Audioengine A2+: Tiny desktop speakers with Bluetooth, USB and analog inputs and a variable RCA output. Watch for: The 2.78 standalone score and roughly 106Hz measured -3dB point reveal how much bass is missing without reinforcement or a subwoofer.
The Klipsch ProMedia Lumina is the deeper-bass pick. A desktop 2.1 system with horn tweeters, a separate subwoofer for real bass, tiltable stands, app control, and USB-C plus Bluetooth. Its bass reaches about 46Hz before falling 3dB, against 105.5Hz for the Audioengine A2+. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Audioengine A2+ lacks. The catch: The review reports treble elevated about 3-5dB when aimed straight at the listener; some toe-out can reduce the brightness.
Buy the Audioengine A2+ ($299) for a powered bookshelf speaker; the Klipsch ProMedia Lumina ($379.99) suits a powered subwoofer and satellite combo speaker instead.
