Acoustic Energy AE300² Bookshelf Speaker
In stock
The AE300² is an all-new compact stand-mount loudspeaker suitable for small to medium sized rooms. Featuring new cabinet design and drivers, performance has been considerably improved in all areas whilst maintaining the same competitive pricing as the previous model making this an outstanding speaker in value and performance.
It is highly reommended, praised for it's balanced, smooth sound, excellent build quality, and impessive bass extension for it's size.
The AE300² utilises brand-new paper/coconut-fibre bass-mid drivers which were developed using research derived from the CORINIUM project. These drivers, along with an all-new soft dome tweeter are housed in an inert, slimline 18mm constrained-layer RSC™ MDF/bitumen cabinet – offering a significant step up in both audio and material quality at this price point. The slot shaped duct port on the rear of the speaker augments the bass output and has been carefully developed to reduce the effect of air turbulence with a clean, undistorted bass performance.
The cabinet is available in a choice of walnut or newly developed ‘silk-touch’ matte black or white finishes featuring screen-printed logos with trims and grilles which are colour matched for each finish. The new AE300² will easily integrate within any home décor when placed on speaker stands or bookshelves.
