Acoustic Energy AE1 Active Hi-Fi Speaker

Why this one

• Fair condition - noticeable imperfections, priced to reflect it
• Fully analogue active design with 100W of Class A/B amplification per speaker.
• A much cheaper way into active, bi-amped standmount hi-fi than buying new.

Condition: Fair

This Hi-Fi speaker is in fair condition. Our 7-point functional test was completed in full: all checks passed except no rattle and binding posts. Note: Both speakers are cosmetically very good, with hardly any surface marks or scratches. However, the 3.5mm jack input on both speakers is faulty: the slightest movement of the input causes a high-pitched buzzing sound. Audio does play through and sounds great, but the faulty inputs cause a definite issue when moved or touched. Please review all photos carefully, as they provide an accurate representation of the cosmetic condition of the product.

What's included

• Acoustic Energy AE1 Active (Black)

About this model

The Acoustic Energy AE1 Active is a fully active, bi-amped standmount loudspeaker with two 50W Class A/B amplifiers in each cabinet, fed by linear power supplies. A 125mm Pure Piston ceramic aluminium mid/bass driver and a 27mm aluminium dome tweeter in a Wide Dispersion Technology waveguide are split by an active 4th order Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 3.5kHz. The signal path is entirely analogue, with no DSP or built-in DAC, and the speakers take balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA line-level inputs. Integrated analogue volume and ±2dB bass and treble dials allow room tuning, and the slot-ported cabinet delivers a quoted frequency response of roughly 40Hz to 25kHz.

A great opportunity to own a Acoustic Energy AE1 Active at this price point.
