Home stereo equipment is typically limited to conservative colors like silver, wood-grain, and piano black. Audioengine breaks this mold with its annual Color of the Year kit, offering a suite of home audio components in standout shades, including a smooth egg-yolk yellow for 2026 following previous editions in dusky matte blue and metallic green.
Four Pops of Color and Solid Sound
The core component of the suite consists of the A2+ Gen 3 Wireless Speakers. Measuring six inches tall by four inches wide, these compact units serve as computer speakers while packing enough power to function independently for a small home theater. They feature stereo mini-jack inputs, USB inputs, and stereo RCA inputs and outputs for seamless integration into larger setups. Users can also place them on the included DS1M Desktop Stands to angle them 15 degrees upward toward the listener for more targeted audio quality.
A Color-Matched Turntable Addition
For the latest release, Audioengine partnered with Crosley to add a color-matched Bluetooth turntable called the C6 to the suite. The manual two-speed machine features a heavy steel platter and a medium-density fiberboard plinth. It comes equipped with Bluetooth capabilities and a built-in preamp, enabling direct wired or wireless connection to the A2+ speakers without requiring any extra components.
