Acoustic Energy has Updated its Most Popular Series of Loudspeakers - Meet 300²

British company Acoustic Energy has introduced a new generation of loudspeakers with the 300² index, which has become a rethinking of the mid-price range. The model range includes bookshelf speakers AE300², two pairs of floor-standing speakers AE309² and AE320², as well as universal LCR AE307².

According to Acoustic Energy, every element of the new 300 mkII series was designed from scratch, without any components inherited from the previous generation models. At the heart of the line is a new midrange driver with a diffuser made of a complex mixture of paper and coconut husk. The company claims that this driver provides warmth, high resolution and excellent dynamics. Combined with a newly developed soft dome tweeter that builds on the advances made in the Corinium project, the result is an open and seamless sound.

For the first time in this price range, Acoustic Energy has introduced the Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinet technology, a hallmark of its top-of-the-range Reference Series. This advanced design significantly reduces cabinet resonances, and the cabinets have also been reduced in size, with the AE307 mkII LCR model featuring a shallow, sealed enclosure with a passive radiator for versatile wall mounting options.

The new speaker cabinet designs are complemented by colour-matched trims, aluminium feet on the floor-standing models and high-quality fabrics for the grilles.

Acoustic Energy’s 300 Series² loudspeakers are priced from £649 in the UK for a pair of AE300² speakers, rising to £1,999 for the floorstanding AE320² in all finishes. All 300 Series² speakers will be available from late February 2025.
