Acoustic Energy AE520 - Floorstanding Speakers
Introducing Acoustic Energy's AE520, the newest and grandest addition to the illustrious 500 Series. Unleashing the future of floorstanding speakers, this stylishly slender creation has been ingeniously crafted for larger spaces, bringing forward the ideal blend of design, technology, and pure sonic excellence.
Key Features:
Newly Developed Carbon Fibre Drivers: The AE520 boasts cutting-edge carbon fibre tweeters and mid/bass drivers, expertly balancing power, accuracy, and improved self-damping for an audibly smoother, more transparent sound.
25mm Carbon Fibre Dome Tweeter: A brand new 25mm carbon fibre dome tweeter is outfitted, delivering a lightning-fast, naturally nuanced sound that will stun listeners with its striking neutrality.
Cast Aluminium WDT Waveguide: This feature reduces vibration passed onto the tweeter, enabling sweet, clear and naturally high tones.
Detachable Low Frequency Section: The crossover’s low frequency section is positioned on its own PCB board physiologically separated from mid and high-frequency filters, ensuring an exceptionally low crosstalk between components and an unequalled auditory experience.
18mm Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets: Originating from the prestigious Reference Series, these cabinets significantly reduce acoustic radiation to minimise sound colouration.
Solid Aluminium Bars and Rigid Floor-Coupling: Ensuring maximum stability and reduced room-to-speaker interaction.
Elegant Slim-Line Cabinets: Exquisitely finished in Piano Gloss Black or American Walnut wood veneer, the AE520 adds an iconic aesthetic to any space.

Vibration Reduction: The new cast aluminium WDT waveguide allows for a reduction in vibration, ensuring sweet, clear, and natural highs to delight your ears.
Superior Sound Separation: By physically separating the low frequency section from other filters, crosstalk is minimized, providing an undisrupted, pure sound landscape.
Reduced Acoustic Radiation: Housed in 18mm Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets, the AE520 significantly minimizes acoustic radiation for a truly marvellous sound experience.
Improved Stability: Solid Aluminium bars and a rigid floor-coupling ensure the stability of your speaker and the quality of your experience.
