Floorstanding loudspeakers — Acoustic Energy AE309²

The AE309² is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Acoustic Energy, sharing the AE120's notably high sensitivity within a comparatively benign impedance. The AE309² brings Acoustic Energy's considered engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 33Hz to 29,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 89dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load, matching the AE120's efficiency. Recommended amplifier power is specified at 120W. At 90.0 x 17.0 x 27.0cm and 18.5kg, the AE309² 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 exceptional 33Hz bass extension combined with the notably high 89dB sensitivity.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance and specified 120W power suit a broad selection of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Acoustic Energy's own AE320 offers a considerably more accomplished alternative within the same broader floorstanding catalogue.
