Acoustic Energy AE300² Bookshelf Speakers; pair

The AE300² brings technology developed for Acoustic Energy's flagship Corinium project into an accessible bookshelf format. This 2-way standmount speaker is designed for small to medium rooms where space is at a premium but sound quality is not. With its new paper and coconut-fibre driver, refined soft dome tweeter, and constrained-layer cabinet construction, the AE300² delivers a refined, natural sound that punches well above its price point.

Recognized as a Product of the Year by What Hi-Fi?, the AE300² proves that serious performance does not require a serious footprint. Whether paired with a modest integrated amp or a more ambitious system, these speakers reward good source material with open, detailed playback.

Key Features

• Corinium-derived driver technology: 120mm paper/coconut-fibre bass-mid cone developed from AE's high-end research program
• 29mm soft dome tweeter: Open, natural highs with smooth off-axis response
• RSC cabinet construction: 18mm MDF with bitumen damping reduces cabinet coloration
• Slot-shaped rear port: Minimizes air turbulence for clean, controlled bass
• 86dB sensitivity: Works well with modest amplification
• Magnetic cloth grilles: Slim, removable design for a clean look
• Three finish options: Walnut veneer, silk-touch matte black, or silk-touch matte white with color-matched trims

Sound Character

The AE300² favors accuracy over exaggeration. The paper/coconut-fibre cone delivers fast, detailed midrange without the hardness that can come from metal drivers. Bass is tight and controlled rather than boomy, and the soft dome tweeter extends to 29kHz without becoming fatiguing. These are speakers that let you listen for hours without ear fatigue, revealing more detail as your system improves.

Matching Speaker Stands

For the matching stand, choose American Walnut, Black, or White. The Real Walnut Veneer finish does not match the 300 Series.
