I've got the Audioengine A2s and A5+s, no subs.
They are really nice sounding speakers, especially for the money. I've been surprised at how well they've been reviews in some high-end magazines.
The A5s play easily fill a room with great sound, but they are physically big, like traditional bookshelf speakers.
The A2s are much smaller but no Lilliputians. A little on the larger side when compared to computer speakers. These are more of a nearfield speaker, unless you don't listen too loud.
Both speakers are built with MDF, not plastic and have some real heft. My A5+s are the bamboo finish. That's solid bamboo, no veneer. Absolutely lovely to look at.
I also have the Creatures and Creatures II. These *are* computer speakers but sound fairly nice. They aren't room filling but will still rock quite well. I like the touch volume control's geek-tech. Besides sounding nice, they have an absolutely minuscule footprint.
