The AE320 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Acoustic Energy, sitting above the AE309² with extraordinary sensitivity and greater mass. The AE320 represents Acoustic Energy's more accomplished current statement within the floorstanding catalogue.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 35Hz to 30,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 90dB into the standard 8 ohm load - higher than the AE309²'s 89dB. Recommended amplifier power is specified at 200W. At 100.0 x 17.5 x 32.0cm and 26kg, the AE320 represents Acoustic Energy's more substantial current commitment above the AE309².

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the extraordinary 90dB sensitivity, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from a wide range of amplification, representing Acoustic Energy's more accomplished current floorstanding engineering.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and extraordinary 90dB sensitivity make the AE320 compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Acoustic Energy's own AE509 offers a related model with a somewhat different impedance within the same broader floorstanding catalogue.
