Introducing the AE509 by Acoustic Energy

The AE509 by Acoustic Energy is the epitome of advanced speaker technology, precision engineering, and sensational audio performance. This slim-line floor-standing loudspeaker is meticulously crafted to fit seamlessly into medium to large rooms, enhancing your auditory experience by producing powerful, vibrant, and crystal-clear sound.

Superior in performance and finish to its 300 Series counterpart, this sleek and stylish speaker incorporates Acoustic Energy's latest ground-breaking technology – carbon fibre tweeters and mid/bass drivers. These specially developed components are crafted to echo the pistonic power and precision of our time-honored ceramic aluminium drivers, while delivering an even smoother, more transparent sound.

Unlike any other in its class, AE509 promises an electrifying, powerful audio delivery that Acoustic Energy enthusiasts have trusted and loved for more than three decades. Beautifully dressed in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finish, these speakers are both, an acoustic marvel and an aesthetic statement. Each unit is grounded with solid Aluminium bars for superior stability and minimum room-to-speaker interaction, enriching your listening experience with undistorted, pristine sound quality.

The unique 25mm carbon fibre dome tweeter is lightning-fast and impeccably neutral, delivering a smooth, natural sound that others simply can't match. The meticulously engineered 120mm mid/bass driver ensures a dynamic yet controlled bass response, and the purpose-built crossover ensures optimum dispersion. Encased in our state-of-the-art 18mm Resonance Suppression Composite cabinets, the AE509 offers a pure, uncoloured sound, making your acoustic adventures true to their original recording.

This speaker is a versatile, high-performing marvel, designed with an unwavering commitment to quality and the promise of delivering the supreme Acoustic Energy experience.

Features

  1. Advanced Carbon Fibre Components: The AE509 features our newly developed 25mm carbon fibre dome tweeters and 125mm mid/bass drivers, offering unprecedented precision and power.
  2. Optimized Design: Mid Tweeter Mid/Bass (MTM) driver layout and a two-way crossover offer a smoother and more transparent sound.
  3. Elite Cabinet Construction: Each speaker houses our Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets, reducing acoustic radiation and eliminating sound distortion.
  4. Solid Aluminium Bars: To provide stability and reduce room-to-speaker interaction, the AE509 rests on solid aluminium bars.
  5. High Sensitivity: With 89dB sensitivity and a peak SPL of 115dB, these speakers guarantee a potent sound experience.
  6. Extensive Frequency Reach: With a wide frequency range spanning 32Hz to 28kHz (+/- 6dB), you never have to worry about missing beats or nuanced notes.

Benefits

  1. Ultimate Sound Quality: Carbon fibre components ensure high-quality sound, accurately mirroring the origin of the music with reduced distortion.
  2. Precision Tweeter and Drivers: The thoughtfully designed tweeters deliver lightning-fast, neutral sound, while the 125mm mid/bass driver ensures a controlled and lively bass response.
  3. Improved Stability: Solid aluminium bars provide superior stability, ensuring the unhindered flow of sound and a richer audio experience.
  4. Superior Cabinet Design: The state-of-the-art RSC cabinet ensures an uncoloured, honest acoustic sound, improving the overall listening experience.
  5. Elegant Finishes: Available in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finishes, these speakers add an element of luxury and elegance to any room.

Sound quality is excellent for the price, having demo'd others in the price range. Running over wifi it is solid, no drop outs, same with Bluetooth. Streams Spotify, Qobuz, iHeartRadio sources with built in services, and Listnr by Bluetooth. Playback from NAS is good once it indexes the files, and no issues with FLAC, ALAC, AAC files at all. Gapless playback as well which is nice. Hopefully it will also support new Spotify Hi Res being released shortly. So far has already received 1 update and my 1 query to Marantz support here in Aus was responded to next business day, so good support which is important to me. Heos app is a bit clunky but functional. Haven't tried Room yet but was demo'd with Room so it's compatible. Dirac is option I haven't tried yet - requires license purchase - presently very happy with sound quality through my Kef stand mounts in my living room. No front display, all control by app, just volume and pause/play buttons on the unit itself. No IR remote, however can learn any remote if needed. Haven't tried HDMI but it is supported including CEC. It's only a small unit, looks tiny in the rack having replaced a larger amp, dac and laptop source. AC power direct into it so it doesn't need a lot of room. I like my music around 75+dB and when driving it doesn't get hot, just a little warm, plenty of power for my needs. The team at The Audio Tailor were excellent, laid back, no pressure, honest opinions and able to demo lots of devices. Highly recommend giving them a go.

He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?
