Decided to let go my beloved Acoustic Energy AE3s, in desire of refurbishment. I have used the last couple years, well until I switched to diying speakers about 18months ago, with driving the bass driver actively. I originally purchased in 2005 from someone, fell in love with them but few weeks later blew the voice coil on the bass driver and could not get a replacement since original product was 1989-199x (?) For years I used a HiVi m8n in there after trying a few, but not the optimal driver. Orig was a 6 ohm plus internal volume about 0.75cuft where most 8 woofers want more volume than that, unless you use a 8 sub but crossover at 300Hz. However, in 2020, I came across these Scan Speak (oemd for Aeriel acoustics) that are suited to that box volume and have low Fs. These woofers are probably better than the originals but I kept it easy and just active amp to bass with 300Hz 18db butterworth and magic was back - deep bass, silky holographic mids. More relaxed on top end which is much better than being bright/siblant. Rear binding post are tri wireable, as think these were partially targeted to studios and with the 300/3000Hz xover points, easy to level adjust to liking. The cabinets while banged up are what really pushes this speaker into elite. Super heavy, thick walls, dead silent to resonances. The mid is in a pipe. Had mids refoamed in 2006, recently acquired correct replacement foams (so not have the lap - had professional shop refoam them).j Might repost as without 8 drivers and half price - message me if that is of interest. I was considering refurbishing these sometime to make completely whole passive again as the woofer is good match and have the skills to incorporate the bottom end of the crossover correctly. Would while in there rebuilt the crossovers since also have dats to measure values. I do remember it was not simple crossover, probably some notch filters and shapers that I was ignorant of at the time when was inspecting in 2020 when replaced the woofer and removed the bass portion of crossover to wire woofer directly to bass binding posts. It is incredibly obvious in short moments listening to this speaker that it is special. Told myself to never sell these but I cant muster the motivation to refurbish to only return them to the side and rest - Im too obsessed/curious on diy speaker building these days.These are for local pickup only in Cbus Ohio area.

I found this at an estate sale. Generally, they were used very little. They spent most of their lives hidden in this box in the attic of this old house. They look great and sound amazing. They are very heavy. They are built to order.They say you only get one chance for a first impression and Acoustic Energy made a fine one as I pulled the first speaker out of its box. The cabinets are impressively heavy at aprox 18 -20 pounds, and my pair was finished in an extremely attractive cherry veneer -- completely unexpected at this price point, where vinyl laminate is the norm. In addition to its fine fascia, the cabinet itself seems to be solid and well braced. In fact, there is a brace that runs the entire circumference of the interior. The front is covered with a simple black grille cloth, behind which is a fully veneered face. The two-way AE 300 includes a single 6.5 metal-alloy woofer and a 1 tweeter that boasts a neodymium magnet and ferrofluid cooling. Around back you’ll find two pairs of gold-plated two-way binding posts with plastic nuts. Size aprox: 16x12x8.5 Heres some of the history of this series found on the internet. If you think something does not fit this model, please write.The AE300 is a compact stand-mountloudspeaker suitable for small to medium sized rooms. Following on from theaward winning AE100, it offers a significant step up in both audio quality,materials, and cabinet finish. The new 300 Series features multiple upgrades over the entry-level 100 Series, all designed to improve both audio performance and aesthetics, befitting of its more premium status. Bespoke new drive units have been designed in tandem to offer seamless tonal integration in addition to low distortion and high power handling benefits. The seamless cabinet enclosures boast an inert 18mm high density MDF material with proprietary internal bracing technology to reduce cabinet colouration. Tracing its lineage back to theoriginal AE1, the AE300 uses the latest generation of our 130mm mid-bass driveunit. Featuring a brand new ceramic aluminum sandwich cone with anultra-shallow profile and ultra-high force, long throw motor system, this newdriver boasts improved dispersion, extended bass slam and overall powerhandling. A new aluminum tweeter has beendeveloped for the 300 Series which offers high power handling and a low fundamentalresonance to reduce distortion. However, the main benefit to this new design isthe excellent dispersion characteristics thanks to our Wide DispersionTechnology waveguides. The waveguides shape the acoustic output of the tweeterto match the woofer and provide a wider sweet-spot in your listeningenvironment.

Acoustic Energy Reference Speaker Stands AE300/500. These retail around the £370 brand new and are high end speaker stands. These are not the usual £30 cheapies you see all over the internet. The official site blurb states “The Acoustic Energy Reference stands are designed to compliment the AE1 Active, 500 and 300 Series models both in looks and performance. Four finishes are available - Gloss Black, White, Walnut and a walnut designed to match AE300/500 series. Rather than just an aesthetic match to their own loudspeakers, the “Speaker Stand” is a true performance product in its own right. Most stands fall into one of two camps – stiff and light, giving a speaker life and “bounce” while sometimes losing out a little in outright bass weight – or mass-heavy, giving solid and powerful bass while sometimes robbing a speaker of some life in the higher frequencies. The Speaker Stand is different, and better. It offers the best of both worlds – relatively mass-light to ensure speakers retain an upbeat and lively nature. Included with the stand are their isolating speaker support pads, offering a perfect performance coupling between speaker and top-plate without need for cabinet-damaging spikes.” Specifications Bottom Plate Dimensions (mm): 650 x 235 x 300 (HxWxD maximum dimension of base plate/column) Top Plate Dimensions (mm): 144 x 209 (WxD) Height (mm): 650 (exc. spikes) Weight: 7.5kg (each) Finishes: Black stand with central insert available in Piano Walnut, Piano Black, Piano White and Walnut (500 or 300 Series) Overall in great condition … happy to consider offers slightly above or below asking price. Can be used with other speakers Will be incredibly well packaged when sent out. Any questions please feel free to ask. Many thanks for looking.
