AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Released in 2005, the legendary Audioengine 5 (A5) is the model that turned Audioengine's market for active bookshelf speakers upside down. These original speakers were known for their audiophile sound quality in a compact format, designed in the era when the iPod and Apple's AirPort Express celebrated their golden age.
Although the original A5 has been replaced by the A5+ (Classic and Wireless) for years, it remains an iconic set.

According to independent reviews from Audioholics among others, the original A5 has the following specifications:
www.audioholics.com
Amplifier: Built-in Dual Class AB monolithic amplifier (placed in the left speaker).
Power: 45W RMS / 70W peak per channel.
Drivers: 5-inch Kevlar woofers and 20mm silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets.

Housing: 2.5 cm thick MDF cabinets with hand-made high-gloss finish.

Unique Properties (The "iPod vibe")
The original A5 is a real product of its time. You can see this directly in the connections that were unique to that generation:

'Specially built to power an Apple AirPort Express directly, allowing you to make the speakers 'wireless' early via Apple AirPlay. AC power output on the back: Specially built to power an Apple AirPort Express directly, allowing you to make the speakers 'wireless' early via Apple AirPlay.
