ℹ Product Information

Acoustic Energy AE309 Floorstanding Speakers

Immerse yourself in the rich, dynamic sound and stunning elegance of the Acoustic Energy AE309 Floorstanding Speakers. Specially designed for medium to large spaces, these trim, contemporary speakers outclass their 100 Series counterparts in performance and finish. The AE309 employs cutting-edge 130mm mid-bass drive units that feature a cutting-edge ceramic aluminium sandwich cone with an ultra shallow profile, and an ultra robust, long throw motor system – a design that promotes improved dispersion, extended bass slam, and overall power handling.

The new 25mm aluminium tweeter, unique to the 300 Series, is known for its impressive power handling, low fundamental resonance, and most significantly, its superior dispersion characteristics, tied to our standout Wide Dispersion Technology waveguides. The perfectly shaped waveguides harmonise the acoustic output of the tweeter with the woofer, ensuring an expansive sweet-spot in your listening environment.

Further enhancing their audiophile-grade performance, the AE309 utilizes an inert, 18mm high density MDF cabinet, featuring proprietary bracing technology adapted from our acclaimed Reference Series. This reduces cabinet colouration and furnishes the new transducers with the appropriate space to breathe freely within your listening area. The rear slot-shaped duct port amplifies those rich, resonating bass notes, while subduing any air turbulence for a clean, undistorted bass output. The base of the cabinet comes filled with an inert mass material to dampen vibrations and limit cabinet colouration.

To ensure stability and a resonant-free sound, the unit is equipped with an 8mm floor spike and mass loading. Now, sit back and revel in the powerful yet refined sound quality poured out by these aesthetic gems, available in sleek Piano gloss black, white or authentic satin real walnut wood veneer finishes. Perfectly matching technical prowess with elegance, the AE309 is a tribute to the discerning listener's taste for superior audio quality and exquisite design.

Features:

  1. Free Flow Tweeter Design: The 28mm Aluminium Tweeter alongside the innovative Wide Dispersion Technology waveguides provides excellent audio output. This refined design helps deliver rich acoustic dispersion and a wider audio sweet-spot in the room.

  2. Advanced Drive Units: With the latest generation 130mm mid-bass drive unit, the AE309 enhances the bass by extending its reach and improving overall power handling. The unique ceramic aluminium sandwich cone and the ultra-high force long throw motor system provide stronger, richer, and deeper sound delivery.

  3. Braced MDF Cabinet: Its high density 18mm MDF cabinet reduces unwanted acoustic coloration, allowing the speakers to perform at their best. The slot-shaped duct port at the rear enhances the bass output, reducing air turbulence for a clean, distortion-free experience.

  4. Mass Loaded Cabinet: To further improve sound output, inert mass material pre-loaded at the base of the cabinet ensures reduced cabinet coloration and enhanced damping. Stability is assured through an 8mm spike and mass loading that prevent resonances from the cabinet interacting with the floor surface.

  5. Drive Unit Technology and Enclosure Design: The drive unit technology coupled with the distinctive enclosure design delivers powerful sound from a slim-line, floor-standing loudspeaker. This allows richer sound delivery while taking up minimum space.

  6. Variety of Finishes: Adaptable to any home décor, the AE309 comes in an array of finishes including Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, and Satin Real Walnut Wood Veneer.

Benefits:

  1. Broadened Sound Experience: The AE309 Floorstanding Speakers are designed to provide a wider sweet-spot in your audio environment, offering you a maximised listening experience anywhere within your room.

  2. Superior Sound Quality: With its advanced drive units, you get to enjoy punchier, more powerful bass and an overall improved sound dispersion. This guarantees a fantastic cinema-like experience right in the comfort of your home.

  3. Minimized Acoustic Coloration: The meticulous design and braced MDF material used in the cabinet ensure minimized sound interference for a cleaner, more immersive sound quality.

  4. Enhanced Stability: The mass-loaded cabinet base along with the 8mm spikes keeps the speaker stable, ensuring continuously clear sound output undisturbed by floor vibrations.

  5. Elegant Aesthetics: Along with high tech design, the AE309 also comes in a sleek profile to seamlessly blend with any home décor. You get both style and auditory brilliance.

  6. Listener's Companion for Versatile Environments: Suitable for medium to large rooms, these speakers are perfect for a house-party, a quiet night of relaxation, or an immersive movie marathon.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
