Acoustic Energy's Corinium is their latest addition to their line-up of top-performing loudspeakers. The team behind it has been working on this project for three years, with the goal of establishing new standards in design, performance, and value. They started from scratch and reexamined every aspect of music reproduction, making small improvements in each area. These improvements have resulted in a loudspeaker that is more dynamic, more lively, and more engaging than any previous model.

The Corinium floorstanding speaker features a newly developed tweeter design that uses a lightweight soft dome material to maximise the system's transient response. This design lowers coloration, increases delicate high-speed transients, and reproduces the finest detail and refinement.

The midrange drive unit is the key element that produces most of the sound and is covered by five octaves. The carbon fibre cone and surround provide specific tonal qualities targeted for this speaker, producing the most natural sound and realistic musical performance. The bass driver is slightly larger, housed in an extra-wide cabinet that produces a big, powerful, controlled, and natural bass sound. An optimised 3-way crossover blends the power output of each transducer to provide a tonally balanced sound, using high-quality components such as air core inductors, metalised polypropylene film capacitors, and metal oxide resistors.

These developments are housed in a beautifully curved, exquisitely finished, and inert enclosure made of a hybrid "Resonance Suppression Composite" (RSC) with a minimum thickness of 22mm and varying up to 50mm for optimal performance. The 4° tilt improves the time alignment of sound to the listener, while the 6mm ultra-rigid aluminium front baffle firmly houses the drivers and isolates any cabinet resonances from the listening environment.

"The combination of speed, power handling and transparency to detail is intoxicating with a good piece of music and really engages the senses in a way that more laid back speakers cannot." Jason Kennedy, Read the full review on the-ear.net

Hi-Fi Choice - March 2024

"Acoustic Energy has let itself off the leash, so to speak, and finally done an expensive loudspeaker. The result is superb; it might not be cheap, but it certainly delivers more than one has a right to expect at the price. Indeed, it is closer to big floorstanders from flashier names costing five-figure sums. Catch it if you can." Nick Tate, Read the full review from Hi-Fi Choice.
