Acoustic Energy Aego

asonicboom · 2 Nov 2005 at 18:39

I am leaning towards the "Acoustic Energy Aego 2" 2.1 setup for my computer. I will primarily be using them for music, followed by gaming. From the reviews and opinions on the web it looks top notch for just £100. Anyone else care to add their opinions?

However I also here talk of the sequel to the Aego 2, apparently called something like Aego Music? Could anyone enlighten me on the differences between the old and the new, and at what price?

EDIT: I think I found the new Aego 2 replacements online at a certain shop - they seem to say "Due for release on 21/11/2005" for £99.99. They have the "Acoustic Energy Aego Music System" which appears to be the white/silver ones and "Acoustic Energy Aego 2 Music System" which appear to be the black ones.. does this sound like them?

Thanks once again

I've got the white-silver ones. The small satellites say "AE" on their wire mesh @ the front. Fantastic looking and sounding

yea. ive found that website. which ones are better

Brum Man · 4 Nov 2005 at 15:28

What, between the Aego 2's and the Aego M's? I would imagine the M's as the are the updated version of the Aego 2's (the aego 3's if you like), but seeing as though they haven't been released yet there is no way of telling.

OcUK should really start stocking these... They're recommended almost every time someone asks for a set of 2.1 speakers so that's a fair bit of lost business

I want them to replace my Altec Lansing 2100's :/

I had a pair of Aego 2's which I was very happy with until I got my hands on the Klipsch ProMedia GMX A-2's - an amazing set of 2.1's, if a little odd looking

Hi BubbySoup,

I'm currently trying to decide between the Aego M's, ProMedia GMX's and the newly released Creative I-Trigue 3800's.

Are the Klipsch's much better than the Aego's in music and games?

Thanks,

Ray.

Can't speak for the M's obviously, but IMO the GMX's give a better sound than the Aego 2's. As for the Creative's, I'm not too keen on anything Creative when it comes to speakers.

I can't see these anywhere, not even on the creative website :/

Do they exist?!

i was looking around a few months ago and based on the fact i had heard the haman kardon soundsticks II and thought they sounded amazing i went for them, best bit of kit ive added to my pc in a long time.
Crystal clear even at high volumes loverly base, midranges and highs, basicly they sound amazing and ive had no problems with them they also look sexy as hell
I also found it near impossible to find a bad review about these although there were a few bad reviews about the old version which connected through usb.

Hi Brum Man,

They are on Creative's US website and they are available in the UK for £95. Only one UK site has them in stock so far but OcUK's might stock them soon.

Here's the link to Creative's site:

Cheers mate, I'm looking to get a new pair of speakers in the new year so be interesting to see comparisons of the 2, against each other and ones already on the market.

Get some Altec Lansing 5021's!

Apatche64 · 12 Dec 2005 at 09:49

how do these new ones compare to my megaworks 250d 2.1 speakers? a lot better?

The Aego M's are reviewed in the latest issue of What Hi-Fi? magazine and it received 5 stars out of 5!

There were no bad points mentioned at all.

Awesome, I'm still awaiting delivery of mine

^^ Let us know when you get them!

As for the what hi-fi article, fancy giving us the general gist of it so we don't have to try and read it in WH-Smith's without buying it!
