Acoustic Energy brings new flagship Radiance HT speakers to CES

Acoustic Energy Radiance speakersBritish audiophile speaker outfit Acoustic Energy is introducing the new Radiance flagship HT speaker line at CES. Getting top billing is the new DXT Lens that reshapes the tweeter response to match that of the bass driver, "naturalizing" the overall soundfield. Not sure what exactly what that means, but hopefully it's good, because all the LCR Radiance models get treated to the DXT Lens (the subwoofer obviously goes without). Prices start at $3,000 per pair for the Radiance 3 and stretch down to $1,200 for the stand-mount Radiance 1 -- not exactly cheap, but not in the stratospheric realm like some of the company's other offerings. These should be available in February, so start saving now.

Acoustic Energy cooks up a batch of limited edition AE1 speakers

Acoustic Energy AE1 Mk III SE
In today's rush to crank out new models, it's refreshing to see some steady benchmark pieces of gear. The speaker world has its share of stalwarts -- in no small part due to its high-end audio roots -- and Acoustic Energy's AE1 qualifies as one of those long-time references. We remember reading about the AE1 back in the late 80's, and the model is still in existence today (albeit in a Mk III iteration). To celebrate this continued success, Acoustic Energy has made up a special edition batch of 100 pairs of the speaker, appropriately dubbed the AE1 Mk III SE. It features a laundry list of audiophile features, like a steel-lined 18-mm thick cabinet, 110-mm aluminum mid-woofer, 38-mm ring-radiator tweeter and a crossover constructed with top-shelf parts. Available in a variety of finishes for a no-kidding, audiophiles-only price of $5,000 per pair.
