Bose and AudioEngine Offer Great Desktop Audio
December 9, 2009

With advances in personal computing display and audio technology you can now complement your new desktop PC with a great sounding speaker system. The two audio systems presented below will also significantly enhance the sound quality from older desktop systems as well.

The Bose Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system (MSRP: $399) shown at left gives your computer an enveloping sound experience from multi-channel content without the complications of a five-speaker surround sound system. Two small, elegant speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass® module combine to create a thrilling audio experience that puts you in the middle of the action. The Companion 5 system brings your music, games and movies to life with rich, detailed sound that can turn your computer system into a real entertainment center.

Setup is a snap. The Companion 5 system connects to your computer through a USB port. No sound card upgrades. No extra hardware or software. And no adapters or complicated wiring. One simple connection to your computer and you’re enjoying thrilling, lifelike sound.

The simple, elegant design defines its true Bose® heritage. An advanced control pod puts volume and mute functionality at your fingertips, while providing easy connection to an additional audio input, such as a portable MP3 player, as well as a headphone jack for private listening.

At half the price of the Companion system , the Audioengine A2 multimedia speakers (MSRP: $199) may better fit the bill for your desktop computer. The key features of the A2 include 2.5" Kevlar woofers, 1" silk-dome tweeters, high-gloss finished wood cabinets. The audio quality and build details of the A2 put the Klipsch, Logitech and all other disposable plastic desktop speakers to shame! The A2 is available in black or white.
