AE1 40th Anniversary Event Banner.jpg

Experience the Acoustic Energy AE1 40th Anniversary Speakers – Before Anyone Else



Audio T Cheltenham
Thursday 25th September
2:00pm – 8:00pm
Free to attend – booking required


Be among the first in the world to hear the brand new Acoustic Energy AE1 40th Anniversary Edition loudspeakers – a full three weeks ahead of their official release.


This exclusive, in-store event is your chance to sit down and experience these iconic compact monitors in a relaxed, focused setting. While they made a brief appearance at the North West Audio Show in June, this is the first time you’ll be able to truly listen to them in detail — and with the people who designed them right there in the room.


We’re delighted to welcome Mat Spandl (Managing Director & Designer) and James Luce (Creative Director) from Acoustic Energy. Both will be on hand to talk through the journey of reimagining the legendary AE1 for its 40th Anniversary and answer any questions you may have.


What to expect


Originally released in 1987, the AE1 made waves for its scale-defying dynamics, clarity and bass extension. This 40th Anniversary Edition stays true to the character of the original, while subtly modernising its performance:


• A brand-new 29mm alloy dome tweeter with a larger voice coil for improved control and lower distortion

• A specially developed 125mm spun ceramic/alloy cone woofer for enhanced power handling and natural midrange

• Warm, punchy sound with great bass weight and a forgiving top end

• Upgraded cabinet design with Acoustic Energy’s RSC damping material

• Finished in stunning High Gloss Black or High Gloss Walnut


Whether you remember the original AE1 or you’re hearing them for the first time, this is a speaker with serious heritage — and plenty to say.
