- Is the A2+ Next Gen worth it over cheaper computer speakers?
- Yes if you want better build, a USB DAC and Bluetooth in a small pair. Basic computer speakers cost less but usually sound thinner and offer fewer inputs.
- How does it compare with the original A2+?
- The Next Gen adds Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and a refreshed design. It drops the headphone output that the earlier A2+ had.
- Do I need a subwoofer?
- For bass-heavy music, movies or games, yes. The speakers handle most music nearfield, but a subwoofer adds the low end they lack.
- What inputs does it have?
- It has Bluetooth, USB audio and analog inputs. There is no optical input and no headphone jack.
- Can I use it with a turntable?
- Only with a turntable that has a built-in phono preamp, connected to the analog input. A bare turntable needs a separate preamp.
- Is it good for a large living room?
- No. It is built for desk and nearfield listening; a larger room needs bigger speakers or an amp.
