Acoustic Energy AE300 MKII Standmount Speakers – Matte White
"If you are looking for unfussy but hugely talented standmounters below a grand, Acoustic Energy’s AE300 MkII are a great place to start" - What HI-FI? Review
The Acoustic Energy AE300 MKII Standmount Speakers bring together refined engineering, premium materials, and modern design to deliver exceptional sound in a compact form. Designed for small to medium-sized rooms, this pair of speakers offers an immersive listening experience while seamlessly fitting into contemporary living spaces.
Precision Engineering & Enhanced Performance
Built upon insights from Acoustic Energy’s flagship Corinium project, the AE300 MKII introduces a completely new cabinet and driver design. At its core, the speaker features a brand-new mid-bass driver made from an innovative paper and coconut fibre blend. This natural composite not only enhances clarity and warmth but also provides a smoother, more balanced sound compared to traditional cone materials.
Complementing the mid-bass driver is a newly developed soft dome tweeter, engineered to deliver open, detailed high frequencies that integrate effortlessly with the midrange. Together, these components ensure a clean, natural sound with impressive dynamics across the frequency spectrum.
Advanced Cabinet Design
The AE300 MKII utilises an 18mm RSC™ (Resonance Suppression Composite) MDF/bitumen cabinet, a technology first seen in Acoustic Energy’s Reference Series. This construction dramatically reduces resonance and cabinet coloration, ensuring that what you hear is pure, uncoloured audio. A carefully designed rear slot-shaped duct port further enhances bass performance, minimising turbulence for deeper, distortion-free low frequencies.
Stylish & Versatile Finish
The matte white silk-touch finish not only feels premium but also complements modern interiors. Colour-matched trims and grilles add to its understated elegance, allowing the AE300 MKII to blend naturally whether placed on stands or bookshelves.
