Kanto Ipair5 Powered Ipod Speakers, Clean Crisp White Review

This speaker system is incredible in every way. It is very well made and should last for many years. They look so nice with their polished and shiny black finish. They look so much better than the picture on the amazon product page, that picture just doesn't do them justice. The acoustic cabinets are handcrafted wood and very heavy and solid. The woofers are made of Kevlar so they should be virtually indestructible. There isn't a cover on the front of the speakers so I would keep them out of reach of young children that might damage them. The back of the speakers are made of a metal. There is a plug for headphones on the back and a video out plug and wires so you can dock your iPod and watch videos on your TV. The two speakers are connected with a professional interconnect cable which is a very heavy duty cable which is similar to what you plug into an electric guitar and amp. It has many different faceplates which can be switched depending on what type of iPod that you will be using. And this system will charge your iPod as well. I did notice that the Amazon picture shows a skinny white remote with this system and my system came with a wider black remote. Judging by the appearance it looks like both remotes probably have the similar options but a different style.
Since Amazon doesn't list compatible iPods on the page I will list them for you.

This speaker system sounds amazing and I am so thrilled to own it. It sounds best when the speakers are either on the floor or at waist level. It also sounds best when the speakers are separated to give more of a surround sound. I would say these speakers sound a lot like Bose speakers but maybe a little better sounding. We have owned five or six different iPod speaker sets over the past several years and many of them just don't sound that good at all. The Kanto Ipair5 Powered iPod Speaker System has certainly raised the bar in my opinion and simply blows away most of the competition.

Audioengine A5 Powered Multimedia Speaker System (Black) Review

These really do deliver remarkably clean, powerful sound for their size, and they also do well at lower volumes. There's no shortage of gushing reviews for these on the web, so I'll just add a few tidbits of possible additional interest to prospective buyers:
- Each speaker is satisfyingly heavy, and the entire bottom surface is covered by a solid rubber pad to help keep the speaker in place when you're driving them hard.
- The speaker enclosures are silky smooth (no sharp edges or seams anywhere) and feel thick and well made. Overall fit and finish is lovely to behold. You can't help but believe that these will last for a long time.
- The large speakers are exposed (as pictured), but they're made of kevlar, so they look tough and feel tough, and you won't think twice about the lack of a speaker grille.
- The volume control is on the lower-right corner of the left speaker. It's a knurled dial the size of a standard button, and it turns with a nice, smooth resistance for a feeling of scratch-free precision. Ideally, I'd like to see the volume knob on the top of the speaker for easier access, and I'd rather it extended outward a bit further (it's a bit shallow). But tastes will differ depending upon speaker placement.
- The LED power light is on the lower-left of corner of the left speaker. It's a muted, cool blue that looks great when the lights are off. Not too bright to be a nuisance. The kind of blue light that you know is there but almost seems to disappear into the blackness.
- The power on/off switch is on the middle back of the left speaker, near the outside edge, so you can easily wrap your fingers behind the speaker and feel for the switch to turn it off. Not as easy as I'd like it to be, but not a big hassle. Still, if you like to turn your devices off when not in use, you'll want to place them in a way that allows you easy access to the left side of the left speaker.
- The USB port on the top is for charging only, not for audio pass-through from your iPod, but the makers helpfully provide several short lengths of audio cable suitable for connecting your iPod or other device.
- The secondary audio input jack on the back is analog, not digital, so you won't be able to take advantage of the digital audio-out option of an AirPort Express, for example, but the analog connection sounds fine.
- There's no remote control. Here the speakers suffer in comparison with some similarly priced systems that appeal to iPod users, but clearly the decision was made to divert the cost of that feature into creating the best possible sound at this price point.
- When driving these speakers hard for extended periods, the back of the left speaker (containing the power supply) gets very hot. Very hot. Seriously--you could fry an egg back there, so you'll want to ensure proper ventilation if you plan to rock out a lot. My only concern here is that the hottest area is the area surrounding the AC jack into which I plug my AirPort Express. Can the AirPort Express take the heat? Well, it has so far.
- The bass response is great on these, but if you want even more, you can always hook up a subwoofer, because a subwoofer jack is provided. What more could you ask?

Small Speakers, Big Bass. You won't hear any enhanced super-mega-hyper-monster boomy bass from these speakers. The low end from the Audioengine 5 is real bass, very near to the originally recorded music. From rap to classical to movies, you'll get tight, punchy bass with an awesome growl that will make you smile - regardless of the volume level. Kevlar woofers for powerful bass, silk dome tweeters for smooth highs, built-in power amplifiers, truly useful connections, and a clean industrial design all allow the Audioengine 5 to integrate perfectly in your living room, bedroom, or desktop. Custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinets with high-gloss professional piano finish make the Audioengine 5 a true work of art. All these (and more) have been carefully considered to create an authentic soundstage for your valuable multimedia components - the sound as it was originally mixed in the studio. Vocals are clearly placed and each instrument occupies its own space.

The 2-way speaker system employs a 5 Kevlar Woofer coupled with a 20mm silk soft-dome Tweeter to deliver a wide frequency response range from 50 Hz up to 22,000Hz.
