Building on the unprecedented success of its AE1 40th Anniversary Edition, Acoustic Energy has launched the AE2 40th Anniversary. The new model utilises the same newly developed woofer and tweeter drive units as the AE1, while drawing heavy inspiration from the brand's renowned 1990s flagship, the AE2 Signature. Acoustic Energy has applied modern technological refinements to elevate performance for contemporary listeners, all while preserving aesthetic details faithful to the iconic original.

Key Features:

  • Tweeter: 29mm anodised aluminium dome
  • Mid/Bass Driver: 2 x 125mm spun / hard anodised aluminium cone
  • Frequency Range: 35Hz - 45kHz
  • Power Handling: 200w
  • Available in High Gloss Walnut & High Gloss Black
  • Included Grilles

 

Sonically, Acoustic Energy has upscaled the performance of the AE2 40th Anniversary, delivering extended bass and increased headroom for lower midband distortion and enhanced transparency at typical listening levels.

To match the punchy dynamics and tonal signature of the AE1 within an offset MTM driver layout, the AE2 cabinet incorporates strategically placed steel plates. This reduces cabinet coloration to match the AE1's exceptional purity, delivering the same effortless out-of-the-box audio quality on a grander scale.

Like the AE1, the AE2 is crafted for the purist audiophile. Featuring minimalist, low-order crossovers, it delivers a fast, "live" sound that prioritises musical connection over paper specifications—it is, first and foremost, a speaker for music lovers. Picking up where the AE1 leaves off in terms of acoustic output, the AE2 is ideally suited for rooms larger than 25m².

They provide the scale and authority of a small floorstander alongside the low coloration, precise 3D imaging, and placement flexibility of a standmount monitor.
