With the enormous success of the Audioengine A5 in Australia and around the world, it was only natural that a new model would soon follow, the surprise however is the fact that they have produced a smaller model in the Audioengine A2. Designed primarily as a desktop audio system, it offers sound quality that truly defies it's size and more importantly it's price.

Stereophile magazine, the bible for true audiophiles, claims that every reader should rush out and buy a pair, not something they normally do for a $300 pair of speakers. So if you are looking for a very compact, high quality speaker system for your PC or iPod, look no further. The Audioengine is distributed throughout Australia by Vistra Australia, through a limited dealer network.

You are probably asking who is Lipinski Sound? Ask any audiophile classical music lover and they will know the name of Andrew Lipinski who is one of the finest classical music producers in the world. Andrew was frustrated with the equipment used in studios and set about making his own. With the help of his son Lukas Lipinski, they setup Lipinski Sound to produce some of the most accurate speakers available for recording studio and mastering suite use, plus of course high end consumer audio.

The big interest is in the loudspeakers, and in particular the L-707. The Lipinski Sound L-707 is currently the most talked about speaker in the world, with it's design being developed over many years of professional sound engineering by a true industry legend, Andrew Lipinski. As the only audiophile oriented manufacturer professionally active in both, recording arts and engineering sciences, Lipinski Sound aim to advance the art of music recording and playback to the next level of reference.

The ATC brand in Australia has always had two distributors, one for the pro speakers and one for the domestic hi-fi product. TAG (Technical Audio Group) continue to distriute the ATC professional studio monitors, but the domestic hi-fi product has been handed over to Wicked Digital.

The difference for the end user is huge, firstly the products are no longer being distributed to dealers, instead all ATC hi-fi speakers are now available directly from the distributors web site, removing the usual dealer margins, making ATC more accessible than ever before, with speakers starting as low as $1495.

The draw back of course is that you must buy on the reputation of ATC (which is huge) rather than by listening to them in the dealer showroom as you would normally do. Personally I do not see this as a problem in light of ATC's massive reputation of amazing accuracy, detail and dynamics. They are one fo the few products which could safely be bought of reputation alone.

You can check out the range at the ATC web site: www.atcloudspeakers.com.au and of course buy directly form the Wicked Digital web site here: www.wickedidgital.com.au
