These speakers look great - that's a lot of connectivity! The finish is less compelling to me than the A5+ but built-in Bluetooth and not one but two optical inputs is pretty amazing. (The A5+ as far as I know does not have a built-in DAC of any kind). And this is the first I'm finding a sub out on powered desktop monitors, too. May have to flip those A2s I bought (status on those) in favor of these...
