Acoustic Energy AE-26-06B – Amazing PC Speakers

I decided to buy a new set of speakers for my bedroom t go with my laptop Media Center, as my bedroom is actually the biggest room in my house, so I needed something with more power than my TV speakers.

I plumped for some some small PC speakers to plug into my laptop that wouldn’t take up much space. I’ve never actually purchased PC speakers before, as the set I received with my first PC back in 1998 (Altec Lansing ACS495) are so good I’ve never replaced them, so I went online and did a bit of research to see which PC speakers were best.

Eventually, I decided to purchase some Acoustic Energy AE26-06B AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system speakers. Nearly every site gave them top marks and rightly so, as they are amazing sub £100 speakers.

The packaging for the Acoustic Energy AE-26-06B tells you that they mean business. Quality speaker wires are included, with proper speaker connections, rather than the flimsy wires that most PC speakers have. The main speakers are really sleek and small which made them ideal for my bedroom, but the sound quality is amazing. They give the much more ‘expensive’ Tannoy speakers in my front room a serious run for their money, and fill the room with a very rich and warm sound.

What is really amazing with the speakers is their power. I’m not sure what the actual wattage is, but even when I’m blasting out my music I never have the volume higher than around 1/8. In fact, I have to keep the volume control on the units themselves quite low, so that I’m able to adjust the volume using the laptop’s remote.

The subwoofer is extremely high quality as well, although it can be a bit boomy. There are 3 bass levels, and I’ve managed to reduce some of the boom by setting the sub to the middle setting and tweaking my equaliser. I probably could remove the boom by experimenting with the position of the Acoustic Energy AE-26-06B subwoofer, but I’d rather it stay hidden than potentially placing it in the middle of my bed!

I’m glad that I purchased these speakers as I think like my Altec Lansing speakers, I will find a use for them for many years to come. If you are looking for a set of compact speakers for a spare room, a iPod dock or a PC then you should check out the Acoustic Energy AE26-06B AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system .
