Hey you! What are you doing listening to speaker comparisons on youtube? Listening to what speakers sound like through your own speakers is kind of pointless don't you think? Anyways, thought I'd throw this together regardless in case anyone finds it useful. At least watch in 720p so the audio is at its best. You won't be doing yourself any favors listening to it in lesser quality. This was recorded with a Zoom H2 recorder set 1ft above mid-speaker and 5 ft back (my normal listening position). All MP3s played through the speakers were ripped from the original CDs w LAME 3.98 @ VBR 192kbps. The Logitech Z-560 system has only 2 speakers and a subwoofer connected, since 4 front-facing satellite speakers would be pointless. I tried to get a good mix of songs here: live recordings, funk, hip-hop, instrumental, jazz. The bass in this video is much more pronounced on the AudioEngine A5 clips primarily because all the bass is coming from the speakers themselves directly towards the microphone, whereas on the Logitechs the bass is coming off from the right from the subwoofer on the floor. The A5s provide plenty of bass without a subwoofer, and it's a cleaner, smoother bass than what the Logitechs pump out of the subwoofer. Both speakers did well with live music. It was reproduced great and you can hear all the detail of the crowd. A5s seem to be smoother all around, but most noticeable in the highs and bass. Both speakers are great speakers, but the AudioEngine does a better job ...
