Unfortunately we don’t have any other floorstanders available here but we just held a large live stream with no less than eight floorstanders in a slightly higher price range. We’e convinced that the AE509 would not be out of place in this line-up. Both in sound and finish. Well done indeed!
For whom
These slim floorstanders will easily find a place in your listening room. They are beautifully finished and actually quite affordable. They do need a little space from the walls but they perform great in a ‘normal’ listening room without special attenuation or things like that. This is usually not the case with many other brands.
The AE509 will sound great in a smaller listening room as well. They’re easy to control and don’t need very expensive amplification to shine. If you have a very large space you might need the larger AE520. This is not a loudspeaker for someone who likes to analyze every single detail and look deep into the recording. Neither is it a ruthless speaker that only makes top recordings sparkle and shine, but despite all that, a lot of details come through. Almost everything sounds great and a lot of the times quite beautiful. No easy task for any speaker. There are many sharp and edgy sounding speakers on the market with artificial highs but the AE509 is not one of them.
