The AE520 is more mature; it’s more transparent and less interventionist, telling you what’s on the recording rather than simply making it sound good. In other words, you need decent ancillaries to really get the best from it. Suitably equipped, you’ll find it hard not to love.

Introducing the Acoustic Energy AE520 Powerful Slim-Line Floor-Standing Loudspeaker
The AE520 takes its place as the flagship model in Acoustic Energy's lineup, building upon the success of the AE500 and AE509 models. With its multi-driver design, imposing size, and impressive performance, the AE520 establishes itself as a powerhouse loudspeaker.
Advanced Carbon Fibre Technology:
Equipped with two dedicated 125mm carbon fibre mid-range drivers, three low-frequency drivers, and a 25mm tweeter, the AE520 ensures perfect tonal matching across the entire frequency range. The carbon fibre construction delivers exceptional performance and improved self-damping, resulting in a smoother and more transparent sound reproduction. With oversized 35mm voice coils for low thermal compression and optimum motor force factor, the mid-drivers operate within their own dedicated sealed enclosures, while the low-frequency drivers are reflex loaded by a large rear-facing rectangular port.
Optimized Vertical Directivity:
The AE520 is designed to optimize vertical directivity, providing excellent vertical coverage while minimizing energy wastage due to ceiling and floor reflections. This innovative approach enhances overall sound clarity compared to traditional loudspeaker designs.
Elegant Design and Stability:
The slim-line cabinets of the AE520 are available in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, or American Walnut wood veneer finishes, ensuring a seamless integration into any home decor. Solid Aluminium bars are supplied to ensure rigid floor-coupling and maximum stability. The stiffness of the metal structure minimizes room-to-speaker interaction, further enhancing the overall audio performance.
