Acoustic Energy is a British loudspeaker maker best known for its legendary AE1 bookshelf speakers, which were originally released in 1987 and are well-regarded for their dynamic and wide sound, at a relatively affordable price. (The company now sells an active version of these speakers: the AE1 Active.)
Today, the company sells a variety of loudspeakers — ranging from its entry-level 100 series (which start at a few hundred bucks) to its reference-grade 500 series and Corinium lines (which can cost upwards of eight grand) — and they all share a similar ethos, promising great sound for less.
Earlier this year, Acoustic Energy released the next generation of its mid-range 300 Series of loudspeakers, which have been “completely redesigned” and harness technologies from its higher-end loudspeaker lines. According to the brand, the new 300 Series deliver “unprecedented levels of performance and value.”
As of today, the entire line is now available … including its range-topping floorstanding speakers.

Brand new acoustics
Acoustic Energy released its original 300 Series back in 2018 — they promised a middle ground between the company’s entry-level 100 Series and reference 500 Series.
Its new 300 Series has a completely new acoustic and aesthetic design. In fact, the brand claims not a single component from the original 300 Series to the new 300 Series has been shared.
