image borrowed from the web as a place holder. Actual photos coming...
I'm offering for sale my AE1 Classic Monitors ( made in the UK) -
This set is in very good condition - sonically superb! Reviewers have often made comparative remarks about the AE1's performance vs. the BBC LS3/5a ( Rogers, Spendor, Chartwell etc) as well as the Celestion SL700 and 600si. rightfully so. they are as detailed as the LS3/5a and image like the celestion ( I've had the chance to a/b compare to the above mentioned models. I own SL700's which I may also offer.
while the KEF LS50 plays a bit deeper, it doesn't have the tonal balance of the AE1 nor is the imaging as precise in midfield applications. the LS50 is great don't get me wrong but there's some magic that the AE1's have that few speakers it's size (and cost) can replicate. I believe there has been 4 releases over all ( AE1, AE1 MKII, AE1 Classic, AE1 Classic Limited Edition - all based on the overall design and sonic profile of the original AE1).
This is my "backup pair" I have a set of the MKII that I'm hanging on to.
The most recent incarnation ( the AE-1 Classic Limited Edition) was last offered through Essence Audio, and i believe that they are no longer available as of mid 2016
My set is being offered for $1075
