I purchased these in September 2021. About 2 years in I was having amplification problems in 1 channel (R channel very quiet but still audible). Audioengine support was quick and responsive, and after brief diagnosis they shipped out a new amp/electronics assembly for replacement at home (the best solution imo). The PCB layout is different from the original purchased from drop in 2021, but I'm not clear on what has changed. I think there was a quiet upgrade to Aptx HD capability somewhere along the way.
Now reborn, they sound even better than before to my ears. They stand on their own, but paired with a powered sub they come alive and fill a large living room well. I would describe the sound as smooth, full, and refined.
A few years on and with one support interaction behind me (thanks Steve), I'm very happy with my this set. I'll be looking to Audioengine for my next speaker purchase.
as the title says, if you have the space this is a good speaker, however the ability to mount this speaker is lacking af since the only option is 1/4" 20mm threaded hole, so beside floor stand you will having so much trouble to found a wall mount that fit ur need unlike any other speaker
blaazing <Grumpy old man voice> Is it just me or are people expecting a cabinet containing a 6-in driver to be about the same size as a cheap set of JBL computer speakers from 1999? If I didn't have too many sets of this size already I might buy a pair. They look real purty. < /grumpy old man voice>
Well built, easy to set up and great sound - what more needs to be said. Using them with a Squeezebox Touch connected via optical digital output which means that I'm using both the built-in DAC and internal amp. A really nice sound and almost perfect set of wireless speakers for a small room, bedroom or home office.
motocommando's review is spot on, very clean and smooth sounding overall. They are missing the lowest bass frequencies, but they are punchy and will play loud if you ask them to. Build quality is very high, you can tell they are a well engineered product with overall high QC.
I'm using them as my A/V "soundbar", feeding the optical input of the speakers from my TV, which has the usual cable, Apple TV 4K streamer, and Bluray hookup via HDMI. Playing lossless music from the Apple TV (Music app) sounds pretty excellent, I'm quite pleased with the speakers.
A couple of things to be aware of: the warranty is only 30 day Drop, as they are not an authorized dealer. So that kinda sucks. Also, mine were missing 1 speaker grill, and Drop offered me a small refund or the option of returning them, but they had no more available. So I took the refund, and Audioengine support kindly sent me a replacement grill when I explained the situation to them. So kudos to their support, my hope is that they would help out if I ever need additional warranty support... Buy direct from them and you get the full 3 years. We'll see, so far no problems after almost 6 months since purchase.
So I ordered these in late July and there was a shipping delay. No big deal as I've been dealing with this same thing at work(shipping delays, back ordered parts, etc.). They arrived yesterday and I set them up. And they are pretty much what I expected, as I own a set of HDP6's in Walnut. These are in the Cherry finish. Not disappointed one bit in anything so far. Packaging was great, speakers are perfect. I've been running them since yesterday to burn them in, so far so good. I'm not expecting any drama with these, just good sound. And yes, for those who are a bit skeptical, they really do need a good 20 to 50 hours of use before they are at their best.
So, some have made comments on a lack of bass. Folks, these have 5 and half inch woofers and smallish, ported box. There is a sub out for a reason. In a small room, on a desktop, they are great. I've got mine in a roughly 11 x 12 room with a small 8 inch sub(Polk) and they are just a bigger better version of my HD3's. I'm probably a bit biased here(this is my fourth pair of Audioengine speakers), so, there's that.
But, nice bass, detailed mids, smooth highs. These remind me so much of the "East Coast" sounds, KLH, Cambridge Soundworks, Advent, etc. Not fatiguing at all, just nice sound.
And the Cherry is gorgeous, as much as the Walnut is.
The bluetooth set up is a breeze and works and sound great. I tried all the inputs and they pretty much do exactly what the HD3's do, work well. The DAC is just as good as the other DAC's I've got, both in receivers, speakers and my separate DAC's. The magnetic grill is a nice touch and the little remote is built like a tank. It's solid aluminum, has a simple and useful design. The touch pad is held on by magnets, much like the grills, and pops off via a small hole on the back. Use a paper clip, punch it out, and change your battery.
The internal switching is really quite simple and works well.
So there you have it.
Get some, you won't be disappointed.

Initial sound is great but underwhelming low end
The HD6s sound great out of the box but are a bit underwhelming on low end. Granted, they have <10 hours on them, but a few of those hours have been playing pink noise for break-in. I'm feeding them the line out from a JDS Labs Element.
I love the magnetic grills and the milled aluminum remote control, and the cherry color is gorgeous.
Definitely be sure to double check the measurements. I didn't (a mistake I've been making a lot lately) and they take up a lot of desk space. I might go for speaker stands in the future to get them off my desk.
Paired with a Fluance RT-81 turntable and they were stellar from the beginning. But after about 10 hours they really began to shine. Crisp highs, powerful bass and clear mid range. I paired with a Paradigm subwoofer and then removed the subwoofer because it really didn't make a huge difference. I would buy these speakers at the full price of $699. The way that these speakers were packaged was exceptional and the attention to detail was superb. I am recommending these speakers to all my friends and family.
