For Sale Acoustic Energy AE-3 MK1 Floorstanding Loudspeakers

Further Information

Not to be confused with the later "Home Theatre" offerings, these were a true Audiophile Speaker when released in 1992.

Condition is good, with just a few scuffs to be seen.  They play perfectly, although be aware you will need an amplifier with high current ability to hear them at their best.

Each speaker is 35Kg and the genuine stands weigh slightly more. So you're looking at 70Kg+ per side.  They're also 'Tri Wireable" but can be run with just a regular stereo amplifier. With the right amp, the Bass is some of the hardest hitting and most dynamic I've heard - It'll literally make you jump !

I'm happy to discuss shipping, but packing and shipping will be at the buyers cost.  I'm not far from our local Pack & Send and they're experienced with packing audio components for safe shipping.
