the sound is amazingly free of artifice and is quite neutral from a tonal balance perspective -- more reminicent of a good high-end two-way bookshelf than a "multi-media" speaker.
the speaker sounds balanced at both low and high volumes.
the speaker's frequency response was balanced, the speaker wasn't bright due to the small bass driver nor was the bass bloated or exaggerated, just a nice balance from top to bottom end.
very accurate, very balanced, on a wide variety of material.
listening to lossless, dvd-a, sacd and cd the audioengines have the balance of a good audiophile system.
i have had problems getting a balance between the front and rear sound levels.

sound is well balanced throughout.

pros: great speakers for the money, well balanced in my opinion.

not only do the audiohub speakers sound impressive with tangible bass and brainless installation, i really enjoy the balanced sound, intuitive design and, especially, the three usb ports on the back
cons: the sound could be more pronounced in the bass end, even though it is nicely balanced in the bass, mids, and highs.
the desktop speakers are heavy and balanced, and will never fall over, and the woofer is a rock.
i owned bose musicmonitor $400 computer speakers and needed some cash...thought i'd take a chance and buy these $40 speakers and sell the others, hoping the philips wouldn't be too far off the
