Acoustic Energy AE100 Loudspeaker + Cambridge AXR100 Amplifier

Description

Get the Acoustic Energy AE100 Loudspeaker in black and a Cambridge AXR100 Amplifier this Festive Season! The Acoustic Energy AE100 is a compact standmount / bookshelf loudspeaker that exhibits qualities which perfectly embody those of Acoustic Energy.

The Acoustic Energy AE100 has been designed with a view to achieving high sound pressure levels from an extremely small enclosure. This is obtained principally through the use of a 110mm mid-bass drive unit built around an ultra high force, long throw motor system. Bass performance is augmented by a slot shaped duct allowing for a considerable cross sectional area while negating the issues of air turbulence.

A 25mm soft dome tweeter featuring our Wide Dispersion Technology completes the driver compliment, that’s housed within an 18mm MDF cabinet. Taking design cues from the award winning Reference Series and finished in a choice of satin black or walnut vinyl veneer finishes, the Acoustic Energy AE100 Loudspeaker is sure to look good wherever you choose to place it while delivering a sound that belies its compact size.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE100 – TWEETER

Acoustic Energy’s bespoke 28mm soft dome tweeter was designed in tandem with the 100 Series bass driver to offer optimum integration and tonal matching. Paired with our Wide Dispersion Technology waveguide, the crossover region between drive units is audibly seamless whilst the high power neodymium motor assembly ensures reliable, distortion-free high-volume playback.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE100 – DRIVERS

The 110mm bass/mid driver used in the 100 Series has been developed with a high power, long excursion motor to provide satisfying volume levels and bass extension from relatively compact enclosures. The doped paper cone enables a higher crossover point for smoother mid-range and seamless crossover with the tweeter, creating extremely high fidelity, detailed and above all musical sound reproduction.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE100 – CABINET

The 100 Series uses sturdy 18mm MDF enclosures with carefully tuned bracing, reducing harmful resonances whilst retaining body and substance from compact, practical cabinets. The rear slot porting* enhances smooth bass extension with minimal room impact, allowing easy placement. The Acoustic Energy AE109 and AE120 feature inert mass-loading for additional stability and acoustic damping, all models come supplied with slim magnetic grilles.

* The AE108² is a sealed box with no slot port.

BUDGET AUDIO NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD

These two new receivers sound like they should cost 3 times their price. The way they portray music makes you forget about the gear and just enjoy the music.

INPUTS FOR ALL YOUR MUSIC

With 4 analog audio, a phono preamp, Bluetooth 5.0 the AXR85 will satisfy almost everyone, but if you need digital the AXR100 adds 3 digital inputs

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND BUILT

We love the clean design of Cambridge Audio gear, but the geek side of us really appreciates the circuit board layouts and attention to detail that help make these units sound so good.
