After reading a lot of reviews, I have made my mind to to buy these little puppies, hope they sound good with my macbook-pro. I wanted to know how many years warranty did you get form "Bajaao.com" in India. More over I am looking forward to listening mostly Instrumentals and Progressive rock, would you recommend them since both require high amount of precision and clarity which is preferred over the loudness created.

They are brilliant. Breaking them in right now, so hopefully they'd be better. On the whole wire mess, you could try Airport or the Audioengine wireless solution for the speakers. As for me, my biggest worry is lugging them back to India from the US when I return. Just got myself a pair of A2 and boy are they good. They are brilliant.

However, sometimes I like to hear something loud, with a good amount of bass, and when it comes to that the Z5500Ds are just mindblowing.

That's the problem with most computer audio solutions - they're mostly dirt cheap and all of them pale in comparison to an actual stereo. Of course, $200 gets you almost nowhere in the world of actual audio equipment. That's why the A2s are so awesome! They approach (some will argue that they meet) the clarity of a modest stereo component system, but do so without the added hassle of large amps and cabling. Without doubt, they blow away any 2.1 system on the market, as those systems consist of a one-note fart-box 'subwoofer' crossed over to two plastic, resonant satellites. Those are not speakers, folks, despite rave reviews at Amazon, et al. Those of you who love music and not just loose, boomy, and soppy 'bass' should definitely give the A2s a try. I can't think of a better speaker considering the footprint and no-hassle setup.
