Selling this pair of award-winning British speakers from Acoustic Energy for $670. If you are reading this you probably know Acoustic Energy. This genuine example of British sound Aelite 3 is a genuine class act, and clearly among the best of the models in the price tier up to $2500.
The exceptionally fine neutrality and attendant low level of coloration. The sound has plenty of weight, does not require a subwoofer even in the larger room thanks to the design decision to use second passive radiator - there is the option to block any combination of the three ports gives great flexibility. And while the bass end is certainly weighty, it's also impressively smooth and even (with the ports open).
Stereo focus is another major strength, and any enclosure coloration is very well controlled, ensuring fine transparency, too. However, the top end is smooth and well ordered, speech is particularly clean, open and natural, showing remarkable similarly to a BBC LS 3/5a monitor, a hard benchmark to beat.

I bought them for $1900 but downsizing now. Acoustically-matched pair, sequential serial numbers. What you see in the picture is exactly what I am selling. Please note both speakers are exactly same color, just camera white balance issue. Orignal boxes are included with manual, all jumpers and connecter plugs are present.
Local pickup in Chicagoland is preferred but I am not opposed to shipping, I have original boxes. UPS or FedEx package weight 2x40lbs.<p>
