By popular demand we are producing, for a limited time, a highly exclusive version of our famous AE2 loudspeaker in full 40thAnniversary specification.
Building on the unprecedented success of our AE1 40th Anniversary Edition, the AE2 model uses the same newly developed woofer and tweeter drive units from the AE1. The AE2-40 derives from the legacy of the highly renowned flagship ‘AE2 Signature’ model of the 1990’s. The same technological refinements from the AE1 40th Anniversary have been used to update the performance to today’s level, along with aesthetic detail sympathetic to the original.
Sonically we have upscaled the sound of the AE2 40th Anniversary with more bass extension and headroom, translating to lower midband distortion with greater transparency at typical listening levels. Matching the tonal characteristics and punchy dynamics of the smaller AE1 40th Anniversary within the confines of the offset M-T-M driver layout, the AE2 cabinet required the addition of strategically placed steel plates to match the lower colouration of the AE1 40th Anniversary and boast the same out-of-the-box audio quality… upscaled.
Like the AE1 40th Anniversary the AE2 is aimed at the purist audiophile. Low order, minimalist crossovers result in a ‘live’ fast sound, forgoing technical niceties and paper specifications to drill down to the heart of the music. It’s a music lovers’ speaker first and foremost.
The AE2 40th Anniversary picks up where the AE1 40th Anniversary leaves off in terms of output, suiting rooms larger than around 25m^2. It offers the scale and authority of a small floor standing loudspeaker with the very low cabinet colouration, 3D imaging and ease of placement of a stand mount speaker.
