I find these comparisons fascinating. In the first instant it's quick and easy to choose my favourite sounding speakers. The problem is, the longer I listen the more difficult it becomes. I start to hear positives and negatives with both speakers. Fascinating nontheless.
These videos are a great ear workout. The Yamaha's here are true studio monitors, they sound completely flat. Oddly enough, I have the Audioengines and to my ears, there's a huge and annoying bump in the midrange. I have to use them for mastering at the moment and have to be careful not to be tempted to suck too much of 250hz-1khz out of the mix.
@digitalstereophony I have to say that your choice of tracks are really great. At the same time, i think the artists or musicians behind those well sounding music should be credited at least in the description. I have been trying to find the Dream a Dream song used in your videos, but still no luck :( Therefore, can you please list credits of music used in the videos. Thanks.
Music I use in newest videos is royalty free music. I will upload all the tracks to TH-cam tomorrow so anyone can have a comparison with original tracks and link the tracks in description of videos ;)
A5 has more mid or bass than the yamaha. Yamaha has more clarity. they both amazing speakers tbh. yamaha is def fire tho. If I have to pick, yamaha any day.
AE seems to have an extra dimension in the lows that according to my ears doesn't belong there but the Yamaha is lacking in the exact same spot. Damned if you do damned if you don't.
Both sound amazing on my black & white television.

I thought I knew. But then after watching this I have no clue. Decisions.... Decisions....
the a5s have a bit more bass, but the yamaha has a creamier mid range sound? Man I would love to have the attributes of both!
a5 only need dac d1 and its gonna make it better treble and power, yamaha only need subwoofer, win win both
I am interested in HS5. This video is very good. Thank you for testing.

Yamaha more flat and open, easy to have more bass with sub, love the Yamaha middle high tone. Iam going to Yamaha HS8😊
I prefer the Audioengines xD

Digital Stereophony Thanks Bro.. :)
great video! so much effort, thank you!
Yamis are brighter, AE warmer.
Cool, thanks!
I go for Yamaha. I love those bright mid and hi. Just at sub and tadaaaa!!!!
Please comparation, Jbl lsr 308 vs Proel Eikon 8
Thanks
It is the first time I hear about Proel Eikon 8, I will have a look at them. I can not promise I will test them any time soon though
Please. You do your best to try them, thank you so much.
Can you review other non-powered bookshelf speakers, for ex: Mission Lx-2, or any other similar speaker with same amp.
Powered speakers are not on scheadule any time soon
Digital Stereophony you mean the non-powered ones, right?
I meant passive speakers... Sorry :P
Digital Stereophony it would be great if you start comparing some passive speakers, not now, maybe later on.
the difference is really not big honestly i think thats the audioengine have a louder bass
Alexis Pelletier iiiii
The Yamaha sounds really clean the audioengine definitely has a better punch to it
Thank you very much.
You know something's good when no one likes it but keeps on comparing...
I think You are mistaking "good" with "popular". These two are not equal...
Hs5 is For a little room for Mix and Mastering low Bass but Clear Sound

Too much base on 5+

Yami better.
