Hi

I am interested in getting Audioengine A5 or Micropod for music listening. Anyone tested both? Which is better suited for music listening? How much is each speaker? And where can i get them locally?

Epicentre quote me micropod active is $460 for both speakers. Ok lah the price, but warranty is one year and its smaller than A5, which is 3 years warranty so I go for A5, but micropod is very nice design.

Micropod 3" vs A5 5" bass-reflex, talking about different types of sound altogether.

What is a good and cheap place?
Nice ambiance but no need to pay for entrance to the shop ?

I think most places are cheap and good =)
