Acoustic Energy AE320² Floorstanding Speaker
In stock
The AE320² is a new floor-standing loudspeaker suitable for medium to large sized rooms with a larger form-factor based on the Corinium driver array for maximum performance / value.
This speaker is well-regarded and known for its deep, powerful, and controlled bass, a warm and neutral midband with excellent vocal clarity, and a smooth, non-fatiguing treble. Built with a well-damped, inert cabinet and featuring paper/coconut-fibre cones and a soft-dome tweeter, it's praised for its exceptional value, system-friendly impedance, and ability to perform well with modest-power amplifiers and in real-world rooms.
The AE320² 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 AE320² is also supplied with aluminium feet and spike covers which will easily integrate within any home décor while being considerate to any floor surface.
Key Features & Performance
Sound Quality:
Delivers a capacious soundstage, a "fleet-footed" rhythmic drive, and impressive dynamics for its price point.
Bass & Midrange:
Features paper/coconut-fibre reinforced cones for fast, detailed, and warm sound, avoiding the typical "veiled" or "quacky" qualities of other budget floorstanders.
Tweeter:
A new 29mm soft-dome tweeter provides a smooth, extended, and unfatiguing high-frequency response.
Cabinet:
Utilizes Acoustic Energy's Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC™) construction, which sandwiches MDF layers with bitumen for rigidity and minimal cabinet colouration.
Bass Port:
A rear-firing slot port is designed to reduce air turbulence for cleaner, deeper bass without boom.
Room Integration:
Tuned for real homes and rooms, it performs well from different listening positions and is system-friendly with various amplifiers.
