Introducing the AE509 by Acoustic Energy

The AE509 by Acoustic Energy is the epitome of advanced speaker technology, precision engineering, and sensational audio performance. This slim-line floor-standing loudspeaker is meticulously crafted to fit seamlessly into medium to large rooms, enhancing your auditory experience by producing powerful, vibrant, and crystal-clear sound.

Superior in performance and finish to its 300 Series counterpart, this sleek and stylish speaker incorporates Acoustic Energy's latest ground-breaking technology – carbon fibre tweeters and mid/bass drivers. These specially developed components are crafted to echo the pistonic power and precision of our time-honored ceramic aluminium drivers, while delivering an even smoother, more transparent sound.

Unlike any other in its class, AE509 promises an electrifying, powerful audio delivery that Acoustic Energy enthusiasts have trusted and loved for more than three decades. Beautifully dressed in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finish, these speakers are both, an acoustic marvel and an aesthetic statement. Each unit is grounded with solid Aluminium bars for superior stability and minimum room-to-speaker interaction, enriching your listening experience with undistorted, pristine sound quality.

The unique 25mm carbon fibre dome tweeter is lightning-fast and impeccably neutral, delivering a smooth, natural sound that others simply can't match. The meticulously engineered 120mm mid/bass driver ensures a dynamic yet controlled bass response, and the purpose-built crossover ensures optimum dispersion. Encased in our state-of-the-art 18mm Resonance Suppression Composite cabinets, the AE509 offers a pure, uncoloured sound, making your acoustic adventures true to their original recording.

This speaker is a versatile, high-performing marvel, designed with an unwavering commitment to quality and the promise of delivering the supreme Acoustic Energy experience.

Features

  1. Advanced Carbon Fibre Components: The AE509 features our newly developed 25mm carbon fibre dome tweeters and 125mm mid/bass drivers, offering unprecedented precision and power.
  2. Optimized Design: Mid Tweeter Mid/Bass (MTM) driver layout and a two-way crossover offer a smoother and more transparent sound.
  3. Elite Cabinet Construction: Each speaker houses our Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets, reducing acoustic radiation and eliminating sound distortion.
  4. Solid Aluminium Bars: To provide stability and reduce room-to-speaker interaction, the AE509 rests on solid aluminium bars.
  5. High Sensitivity: With 89dB sensitivity and a peak SPL of 115dB, these speakers guarantee a potent sound experience.
  6. Extensive Frequency Reach: With a wide frequency range spanning 32Hz to 28kHz (+/- 6dB), you never have to worry about missing beats or nuanced notes.

Benefits

  1. Ultimate Sound Quality: Carbon fibre components ensure high-quality sound, accurately mirroring the origin of the music with reduced distortion.
  2. Precision Tweeter and Drivers: The thoughtfully designed tweeters deliver lightning-fast, neutral sound, while the 125mm mid/bass driver ensures a controlled and lively bass response.
  3. Improved Stability: Solid aluminium bars provide superior stability, ensuring the unhindered flow of sound and a richer audio experience.
  4. Superior Cabinet Design: The state-of-the-art RSC cabinet ensures an uncoloured, honest acoustic sound, improving the overall listening experience.
  5. Elegant Finishes: Available in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finishes, these speakers add an element of luxury and elegance to any room.

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.

Wasn't too sure whether it would actually make a difference but happy to report that the expensive experiment did make a very positive & notable difference from the get go... For me, the music now feels more 'live' with extra soundstage, depth & presence. The V5 will be a staple in the system for sure. Well done Nathan.

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).
