Audioengine P4 Bamboo
By Miguel Fernandez Jr.
In a word "AMAZING". First of all these speakers are very full sounding and can handle VERY loud volumes with no discernible distortion. They have a small footprint but the sound presence produced by these wonders is truly something to behold. If you get a chance please try out these speakers and you won't regret it.I bought them based on a review I read in a computer magazine (maximum pc) and I have trusted their reviews for over 10 years. If you don't have a lot of space and need the highest quality sound from a small but large sounding package then these are ones to get. I can listen to these all day long, that's how good they are.Prior to this system I had Klipcsh pro media 5.1's and at the time they were the best speakers on the market for a computer gaming system. I would like to say that the Audioengines are a MUCH more listenable system. I don't even care that they aren't a 5.1 system because the sound stage they create is so lifelike. When I watch a blu-ray movie on my pc with these babies it sounds fantastic. Listening to music on these is also a great experience. Please try them. You will not be disappointed.I would also suggest you consider their AS8 sub-woofer too. It makes a big difference in the amount of bass. Audioengine makes very high quality products and takes great care to protect them during shipping as they are packaged in double cartons and microfiber material to protect the finish.

By J. Lotman
I bought these for my man cave and am blown away how great these sound!You will be happy with these. The highs are very crip and clear and the bass is smooth and rich.

By Budajoe69
So I picked up these little Audioengine P4, in bamboo...here's my impressions...First, a quick description of the music system I'm using these in as a point of reference -- power is coming from a Peachtree Audio Decco2, running lossless files from a new iMac -- speakers are these P4s in a small, office based computer set-up. Speakers are placed a couple inches off each end of the the imac.I stumbled upon these little bookshlef speakers from Amazon reviews...most reviewers sung them such high praise, I decided to take a chance on them, seeing that I had 30 days from Amazon to return them if I was disappointed -- prior to discovering them, I was strongly considering gettig some B & W 685s or something to that extent.First, the build quality as others have noted, is exceptionally nice -- perfectly finsihed, these speakers are not light weight junk plastic, but housed in solid bamboo which feel and look to be handsome, quality product. The silk tweeter and 4" kevlar woofer are well engineered -- no imperfections or defects to comment on. The rear cable inputs are also done well with also no imperfections or faulty pieces.Ultimately, you can have a speaker that appears fantastic on the outside, but when you hear the music, the romance suddenly stops -- not so with these; they sound as beautiful as they look -- truely impressive!I have a pair of floorstanding B&W CMs, and with the exception of obviously producing larger, more bassier sound, these little guys with the combo I described earlier do just as well, if not in some aspects better.They have a tremendous soundstage for being so small, and can easily fill a smaller room full of music. As with other good speakers, these tend to disappear and you find yourself engulfed in sweet sound without a specific reference point of where the speaker is placed or where the music is coming from -- a sign of a quality speaker -- your awareness is overtaken by the fullness of sound these produce. They speakers maintain their clarity at all but the highest of volumes. If anything, the space in which I've placed them is a bit tight, and they would probably benefit from being spaced further apart to expand the soundstage.The mids these produce are very nice and lush...singers' voices sound fantastic and up front, and highs are high, but not shrill or harsh. Instrument separation & placement are also all fantasic -- on good recordings with multiple layers of instruments, these can reproduce a stunning amount of clarity, precision & detail. Again, I was very impressed -- maybe it's the amp their coupled with (the Decco2 which is just super as well), but altogether, I don't think you'll find a better passive speaker for right around 3 bills...if you do, please let me know!If B & W would place their logo on these, these could go for as much as their CM line bookshelf speakers which run close to $1k.Highly recommend!!! In my opinion, easily one of the best sounding bookshelfs (in this size) in this price range, and can easily compete with more expensive speakers which cost 3 to 4 times as much. Give them a shot -- your ears will thank you!
