Acoustic Energy AE509 Floorstanding Speakers Piano Gloss Black
Acoustic Energy AE509 Floorstanding Speakers - Piano Gloss Black. Packaging & Accessories: Original Box Manual, Grilles. Here we have a pair of the multi award winning AE509 floorstanding speakers from British manufacturers Acoustic Energy. They are finished in Piano Gloss Black and come in good condition noting a couple of blemishes that can be seen in the product photographs. The AE509 is a slim-line floor-standing loudspeaker with compact dimensions, suitable for medium to large sized rooms.
Similar to the AE500 comparison, the AE509 offers higher levels of performance and finish than its 300 Series equivalent. The 500 Series features our newly developed carbon fibre tweeters and mid/bass drivers, designed to match the pistonic power and accuracy of our legendary ceramic aluminium drivers but with improved self-damping for a smoother, more transparent sound. Offering unparalleled levels of performance, quality, and value the result is an audio product with clean, uncluttered lines delivering a thrilling and powerful presentation discerning Acoustic Energy owners have come to expect for over 30 years. The slim-line cabinets are finished in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finishes. Solid Aluminium bars are supplied to ensure rigid floor-coupling and maximum stability, whilst the stiffness of the metal structure reduces the room to speaker interaction.
Our 500 Series tweeter features a brand new 25 mm carbon fibre dome. Carbon fibre is much lighter and better damped than other typical hard dome materials and provides a lightning fast, natural sound which will surprise the listener with its neutrality. The new cast aluminium WDT waveguide on the high frequency driver is positioned close to the mid/bass driver for optimum dispersion and is extremely stiff to reduce vibration being passed to the tweeter, ensuring sweet, clear, and natural highs. The 125 mm mid/bass driver includes a new oversized 35 mm voice coils for low thermal compression and very high motor force factor, to provide a highly dynamic yet controlled bass response.
The woofer has an optimised motor and suspension system for maximum linearity and lowest distortion ensuring mid-range definition, whilst the lightweight nature of the carbon fibre cone material increases transient speed and clarity. The crossovers use high voltage polypropylene film wound capacitors and air core inductors at critical locations for optimum dispersion through a smaller acoustic source size within the crossover region. The AE509 is a Mid Tweeter Mid/Bass (MTM) driver layout and uses a 2 way crossover. These unique drivers are housed in our new 18 mm Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets, evolved from the prestigious Reference Series and featuring the same constrained layer composite to greatly reduce cabinet acoustic radiation, which would otherwise colour the sound.
