Our take on the Audioengine P4 Passive Bookshelf Speakers

The Audioengine P4 is a compact passive bookshelf speaker with a 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter and a 4-inch aramid fiber woofer in a hand-built, front-ported cabinet. It is rated 60 Hz to 22 kHz, 4 ohms, 88 dB sensitivity and 125 W peak handling, so it needs an amplifier rather than plugging into the wall. The front port lets it sit close to a wall or shelf. At $189 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range.

Questions and answers

Do the P4 speakers need an amplifier?
Yes. They are passive speakers, so you need a stereo amp or receiver. The 4-ohm, 88 dB rating means a modest amp of 20 to 50 W per channel is enough.
How do they compare with the Audioengine A2+?
The A2+ is powered and has Bluetooth built in, so it works straight from a phone or computer. The P4 is passive and needs an amp, but it gives you more flexibility and a slightly larger, front-ported cabinet.
Is the bass enough without a subwoofer?
For desks and small rooms, yes. The 4-inch woofer reaches about 60 Hz, so deep movie and dance bass will be thin. Add a subwoofer if you want full low end.
Can I put them close to a wall?
Yes. The port is on the front, so they can sit near a wall or on a shelf without the boomy bass a rear port can cause.
What is in the box?
A pair of P4 speakers. Speaker wire and an amplifier are not included, so plan for both.
When is the best time to buy?
The $189 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026 is already near the low end of its recent range. Watch for holiday sales, when it has dropped further.
