Since it was me specifically who told you to get the A2s I will go into more detail. (All measurements are linked via
this article.)
First off frequency response:
As you can see these speakers are extremely linear with a bump on the low end. This bump is common in smaller bookshelves to add what is perceived as a more full bass response.
Off axis response (lateral then vertical):
As you can see the lateral off axis response is not superb, but I was recommending them in a near field setting as computer speakers which means you will only need a +/- 10 degree window laterally and less vertically. Both of these responses are sufficient for the suggested application. I will point out that their off axis response is still fairly good considering the price range - you can do far worse for more.
Accelerometer data:
This is a very clean measurement. Overall there is virtually no resonance in the midrange minus one small band as indicated in the article. I doubt any of it would be within your audible threshold.
The cumulative spectral-decay:
Another very clean measurement - near textbook, but not quite there. This is because of the delayed decay in the 500-1khz range. Otherwise it is clear there will be an uncolored presentation.
To be honest I have seen thousand dollar computer speakers that measure worse than this. Simply put for $300 these computer speakers are a steal.
For a pretty decent subjective review check out
this podcast. I also asked him to drop by and give his opinion on the speakers and it looks like he is so expect a reply soon

If you would like further explanation on anything I mentioned feel free to ask.
