The AER Custom is a floorstanding loudspeaker by AER, the German firm that has made horn-based speaker systems since 1985. It is a slim, light cabinet designed around high efficiency and a 16 ohm nominal load rather than full-range bass output.

Key specs that matter

AER quotes 150 Hz to 20 kHz at plus or minus 3 dB, meaning deep bass must come from elsewhere. Sensitivity is 96 dB at 1 W and 1 m, and AER lists a suitable amplifier range of 100 to 300 W. The enclosure measures 109 x 48 x 18 cm and weighs 10 kg.

Pairing

The high impedance draws little current, which suits tube amplifiers with high impedance output taps, and a subwoofer is needed to cover the bass below its lower limit.
