The Sound of Handcrafted Audio
Audioengine has built its reputation on the belief that great home sound comes from genuine craftsmanship. The A5+ sits at the heart of the company’s lineup as its definitive full-size bookshelf system. A pair of Class AB power amplifiers delivers 50 watts per channel to custom 5-inch aramid-fiber woofers and 0.75-inch silk-dome tweeters, producing clear, full-bodied stereo that beautifully fills small- and medium-sized rooms. Analog inputs connect a turntable and phono preamp, a tape deck, a CD player, or a television with analog outs, keeping the signal path pure from source to speaker. A variable RCA output makes it simple to add a powered subwoofer down the road for low-end extension, and setup takes minutes with no network, password, or app required. Whether you’re an audio enthusiast, a binge-watcher, or a vinyl devotee, the A5+ is a genuine home music system designed to elevate the way you listen.

Compact speakers, serious build
Audioengine speakers are built from custom components chosen for how they sound, not for how cheaply they can be assembled. Aramid-fiber woofers deliver articulate, extended low end, while silk-dome tweeters keep the highs smooth and detailed. All are housed in precision-tuned, handbuilt wood cabinets that control resonance for clean output at any volume. It’s a compact system with the capacity to confidently deliver audio at all volume levels, which is exactly why Sweetwater’s home audio experts point listeners to Audioengine when they want real hi-fi performance from a speaker that won’t dominate a room. Available in a range of finishes to suit almost any space and style, these speakers are designed to look as refined as they sound. Handsome enough to leave out in the open, they earn their place on a shelf or a set of stands.
Analog at heart
At the core of every Audioengine system is an analog amplifier, and the A5+ is no exception. The company believes analog isn’t outdated; it’s mature, a proven approach to reproducing music as authentically as possible. While many mass-produced speakers rely on digital amplification, Audioengine builds around traditional analog circuitry for a warmer, clearer sound with rich, natural bass. That philosophy runs through the whole system, pairing analog warmth with a clean, modern design. The result is a listening character that remains musical and easy on the ears through long sessions, whatever you happen to be playing.
