Are Audioengine speakers really that bad?

I have a pair of Audioengine HD3 speakers and need suggestions on what to buy for accessories and a subwoofer
I am new to the world of audio and was not sure if I should look into a beginner amp or DAC, as well as a subwoofer.
My biggest question was if I got a subwoofer, (the HD3 is apparently lack luster in the bass dtp.) do I have to get the audio engine woofer or can any work? As well as what is the best subwoofer on a budget for the “quality” of speakers they are? Thanks!
More on reddit.comI've been meaning to buy some budget speakers for my small living room and I've been lurking this subreddit for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I live in SE Asia and speaker choices are a bit limited. I wanted to buy from a brick and mortar store as much as possible for less hassle free warranty services ahould something go wrong. Were I'm from you can't really return products unless there's something wrong so auditioning speakers at home then returning them are out the question.
The only speakers, aside from.the usual bluetooth JBLs and Marshalls, that I could buy from a physical store are Audioengines. However, they seem to have a less than stellar reputation on reddit recently (a couple of years). If I look at older posts, they seemed to have been recommended a lot previously. Is this due to the the availability of cheaper and smaller amps which makes passive speakers a better recommendation?
So my question is, are they really that bad? Would an A5+ be significantly inferior to let's say Wharfedale D310s and SMSL AD18 to someone with an untrained ear? For reference, the A5+ costs around 500USD while the passive combo around 300USD. I can get the A5+ via zero interest installment over a year while the combo would be straight cash.
Please help out a 3rd world brother. Thanks.
Found this on market place, it has a slight dent on one speaker, but otherwise seems good. I can’t find anything about the base A2 model only the 2+. Was wondering if this was much inferior. Any opinions would be helpful because I’m trying to buy it today.
