Audioengine’s 2026 home audio kit pairs yellow finishes with versatile sound
Audioengine’s 2026 Color of the Year kit is finished in egg-yolk yellow, a bright change from the usual colors of home stereo gear.
The collection includes A2+ Gen 3 wireless speakers, a C6 turntable made with Crosley, and DS1M desktop stands, along with other audio components.
The A2+ speakers can work on their own or connect to a larger system, using USB, mini-jack and RCA inputs and outputs.
The C6 is a manual, two-speed turntable with Bluetooth and a built-in preamp, so it can connect directly to the speakers.
The turntable and speakers can work together without extra components, either wirelessly or with a cable.
After months of testing, the reviewer found the kit strong in both sound and appearance, making it an option for people who want their stereo setup to stand out.
