Not sure it's the right fit for your room or system? Our team can talk you through it.
A new carbon fibre driver set, engineered to match the pistonic action of our ceramic aluminium units, is what sets the AE500 apart in the 500 Series. The goal is to keep that drive and accuracy while adding self-damping that is intended to smooth out the sound.
The carbon fibre tweeter and mid/bass drivers are designed to damp their own resonance, so the aim is less colouration from the drivers themselves. The cabinet is a clear step up in materials and finish over the AE100 and AE300, which matters if the speakers will sit in plain view of the room rather than tucked away.
The AE500 suits listeners who want a compact stand-mount with 500 Series refinement, particularly where a larger floorstander would overwhelm the room. As a pre-loved listing, it is a way into that step up. Our team can talk through amplifier matching and room fit, so call us or start the conversation in the showroom.
