Floorstanding loudspeakers — Acoustic Energy AE509

The AE509 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Acoustic Energy, sharing the AE320's extraordinary sensitivity ambition within a comparatively benign impedance. The AE509 brings Acoustic Energy's considered engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 32Hz to 28,000Hz measured at plus-or-minus 6dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 89dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power specified at 175W. At 100.0 x 18.5 x 27.0cm and 22kg, the AE509 represents a serious floorstanding commitment reflecting Acoustic Energy's considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, well-balanced character Acoustic Energy's broader accessible British catalogue is celebrated for, with the notably high 89dB sensitivity combined with the exceptional 32Hz bass extension.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance and specified 175W power suit a broad selection of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Acoustic Energy's own Corinium offers Acoustic Energy's absolute current flagship alternative within the same broader floorstanding catalogue.
