The connections for outboard speakers on the computer are powered and will cause the extra hum through the already powered A2 speakers. For optimal sound quality, I recommend using an outboard DAC with USB or Optical connections. Also, be sure to place the A2s on stands for better imaging. You can extend the treble output a bit (some say the A2 are a too bass heavy) by lowering your A2 volume and ramping-up all the computer volume controls.

I have been eyeing the A5 for quite a long time now, but the price is holding me back. The A2 seems to be the one that I am looking for. Keep up the good work. Hai from Mill Creek, WA. Julie,
