"So if you are in the market for a little loudspeaker that’s sonically bigger than its compact cabinet suggests, you’re on the right track here – it certainly puts a smile on your dial!"
 
HiFi Choice Magazine 5 Stars - May 2022
“It’s lots of fun, yet totally inoffensive – so it doesn’t scream, squawk or boom at you. This in turn lets you enjoy music more than with most bargain-basement standmounts.”
 
The AE100² is a compact stand-mount/bookshelf loudspeaker exhibiting qualities perfectly embodying those of Acoustic Energy.
 
The AE100² has been designed with a view to achieving high sound pressure levels from a small enclosure. This is obtained principally through the use of a 130mm mid-bass drive unit built around an ultra-high force, long throw motor system.
 
Bass performance is augmented by a slot shaped duct allowing for a considerable cross-sectional area while negating the issues of air turbulence.
 
A 25mm soft dome tweeter featuring our Wide Dispersion Technology completes the driver compliment and is housed within a 15mm HDF cabinet. Taking design cues from the award-winning 500 Series and finished in a choice of black, satin white or walnut vinyl veneer finishes.
 
The AE100² is sure to look good placed on speaker stands or bookshelves, while delivering a sound that belies its compact size.
