Tweaks for AudioEngine2 Desktop System?


Just opened up a new pair of AudioEngine2 powered speakers this afternoon. Very pleasantly surprised by how good they sound straight out of the box w/ my laptop on my desk at work.

Anybody suggestions for simple and relatively inexpensive improvements/tweaks? For example, any folks with these speakers bother to upgrade speaker wire or interconnects?

Thanks.

I got my A2's to ear level by using an old trick from my penniless student days - it's sitting on a brick. Yes I know it's ugly but you can pretty up the brick by wrapping it in paper. The difference is phenomenal if you think about why:

- tweeters now at ear level
- remove the boundary effect from sitting on the table. This cleans up the midrange and bass immensely.

You can couple the speakers to the brick more firmly by putting blu-tak under the speaker.
