Acoustic Energy AE1 MK3 Bookshelf Loudspeakers

Description

Multiple award winning speakers and at £2000 were winners of What Hi Fi's "best speakers under £2500" when new.

They are truly amazing speakers. Although they are only bookshelf speakers, they are capable of producing an enormous sound and with beautiful detail.

But don't take my word for it:

"The Acoustic Energy AE1 Reference Mk3 loudspeaker is an amazing beast. With its tiny 4-inch woofer, it conjures up enough music to both thrill and confound. One could reasonably ask, why such a tiny woofer? Why not a larger speaker with a larger woofer? What's the point? It would almost certainly play louder with less power, right? Obviously the Acoustic Energy is a speaker that was designed for those who don't want to give up their room to their music system and to that end, they are not only a success but an amazing engineering feat. With anything other than pipe organ, nothing about the AE1s' presentation gave up the fact that they are tiny speakers - with the possible exception of their outstanding imaging properties which one expects from speakers this size.

If the only thing the AE1s had going for them was their big sound, I couldn't be so enthusiastic about them. Fortunately, they balance the scales with a measure of quality commensurate with their class and they are an eminently musical pair of speakers designed for long-term satisfaction."

Speaker dimensions:
(WxHxD) 185 x 310 x 250mm

Excellent overall condition, but slightly "bruised" lacquer on one rear corner, invisible in use and does not affect performance or sound quality in any way.

Owned by me since new they come complete with original packaging.

Also available are the bespoke speaker stands designed for the AE1 Mk3. (See separate advert.) I'd be happy to negotiate a deal for both items.
