ℹ Product Information

Acoustic Energy AE309 Floorstanding Speakers

Immerse yourself in the rich, dynamic sound and stunning elegance of the Acoustic Energy AE309 Floorstanding Speakers. Specially designed for medium to large spaces, these trim, contemporary speakers outclass their 100 Series counterparts in performance and finish. The AE309 employs cutting-edge 130mm mid-bass drive units that feature a cutting-edge ceramic aluminium sandwich cone with an ultra shallow profile, and an ultra robust, long throw motor system – a design that promotes improved dispersion, extended bass slam, and overall power handling.

The new 25mm aluminium tweeter, unique to the 300 Series, is known for its impressive power handling, low fundamental resonance, and most significantly, its superior dispersion characteristics, tied to our standout Wide Dispersion Technology waveguides. The perfectly shaped waveguides harmonise the acoustic output of the tweeter with the woofer, ensuring an expansive sweet-spot in your listening environment.

Further enhancing their audiophile-grade performance, the AE309 utilizes an inert, 18mm high density MDF cabinet, featuring proprietary bracing technology adapted from our acclaimed Reference Series. This reduces cabinet colouration and furnishes the new transducers with the appropriate space to breathe freely within your listening area. The rear slot-shaped duct port amplifies those rich, resonating bass notes, while subduing any air turbulence for a clean, undistorted bass output. The base of the cabinet comes filled with an inert mass material to dampen vibrations and limit cabinet colouration.

To ensure stability and a resonant-free sound, the unit is equipped with an 8mm floor spike and mass loading. Now, sit back and revel in the powerful yet refined sound quality poured out by these aesthetic gems, available in sleek Piano gloss black, white or authentic satin real walnut wood veneer finishes. Perfectly matching technical prowess with elegance, the AE309 is a tribute to the discerning listener's taste for superior audio quality and exquisite design.

Features:

  1. Free Flow Tweeter Design: The 28mm Aluminium Tweeter alongside the innovative Wide Dispersion Technology waveguides provides excellent audio output. This refined design helps deliver rich acoustic dispersion and a wider audio sweet-spot in the room.

  2. Advanced Drive Units: With the latest generation 130mm mid-bass drive unit, the AE309 enhances the bass by extending its reach and improving overall power handling. The unique ceramic aluminium sandwich cone and the ultra-high force long throw motor system provide stronger, richer, and deeper sound delivery.

  3. Braced MDF Cabinet: Its high density 18mm MDF cabinet reduces unwanted acoustic coloration, allowing the speakers to perform at their best. The slot-shaped duct port at the rear enhances the bass output, reducing air turbulence for a clean, distortion-free experience.

  4. Mass Loaded Cabinet: To further improve sound output, inert mass material pre-loaded at the base of the cabinet ensures reduced cabinet coloration and enhanced damping. Stability is assured through an 8mm spike and mass loading that prevent resonances from the cabinet interacting with the floor surface.

  5. Drive Unit Technology and Enclosure Design: The drive unit technology coupled with the distinctive enclosure design delivers powerful sound from a slim-line, floor-standing loudspeaker. This allows richer sound delivery while taking up minimum space.

  6. Variety of Finishes: Adaptable to any home décor, the AE309 comes in an array of finishes including Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, and Satin Real Walnut Wood Veneer.

Benefits:

  1. Broadened Sound Experience: The AE309 Floorstanding Speakers are designed to provide a wider sweet-spot in your audio environment, offering you a maximised listening experience anywhere within your room.

  2. Superior Sound Quality: With its advanced drive units, you get to enjoy punchier, more powerful bass and an overall improved sound dispersion. This guarantees a fantastic cinema-like experience right in the comfort of your home.

  3. Minimized Acoustic Coloration: The meticulous design and braced MDF material used in the cabinet ensure minimized sound interference for a cleaner, more immersive sound quality.

  4. Enhanced Stability: The mass-loaded cabinet base along with the 8mm spikes keeps the speaker stable, ensuring continuously clear sound output undisturbed by floor vibrations.

  5. Elegant Aesthetics: Along with high tech design, the AE309 also comes in a sleek profile to seamlessly blend with any home décor. You get both style and auditory brilliance.

  6. Listener's Companion for Versatile Environments: Suitable for medium to large rooms, these speakers are perfect for a house-party, a quiet night of relaxation, or an immersive movie marathon.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.
