Richard Gresham Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Item: Acoustic Energy Reference 1 Speakers - White Location: Brisbane Price: $1200 Item Condition: 9.5/10 Reason for selling: Too many speakers - apparently.... Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only, can ship in original shipping carton. Extra Info: Don't let the size of these fool you - they have a real bass punch! Amazing sound for a bookshelf speaker and will work nicely even in big rooms handling 200w. They will play heavy metal to classical and not skip a beat. These speakers are HEAVY (MDF sandwich construction) but I have the original shipping carton so can ship Australia wide at buyers cost. Photos give a good indication of the condition - the last image shows a small mark - it is much more visable in the photo than to the eye. Stands in the photos are not included in the sale. Below are AE's words: The Reference 1 was launched in 2011 incorporating all our technological expertise in speaker design. With the Reference Series we’ve sought to improve upon every aspect of current speaker design to create a true, balanced, dynamic, wide-bandwidth and minimal colouration loudspeaker. Cabinet: Constrained laminate layer construction for maximum resonance damping. A specially designed 7mm MDF/3mm high density rubber/5mm MDF sandwich material is used throughout the cabinet enclosure to minimise resonance and external cabinet noise. Bass Driver: Huge underhung motor assembly for maximum linear accuracy and control. The motor system comprising twin-wound aluminium voice-coils is thermally bonded to the aluminium cone for absolute minimum distortion and long-throw pistonic accuracy. Tweeter: The now well-established Vifa Ring-radiator tweeter is used here in our own custom, upgraded specification. Coupled to our DXT® Lens assembly for improved in-room response and dispersion matching to the bass driver, this is one of the finest tweeters in use today. These features wrapped into a compact, elegant design and luxuriously finished with real piano ebony lacquer mark the new Reference Series as the pinnacle of current small loudspeaker design. SPECIFICATIONS Bass/Mid Driver: 110mm underhung magnet, twin voice coil assembly Crossover: Ultra short signal path 2nd order crossover at 2khz Frequency response: 45Hz – 40kHz @ +/-3dB Power handling: Amplifiers rated up to 200 watts into 8 Ohms Sensitivity: 87db for 2.83V at 1m Nominal impedance: 6 Ohms Total harmonic distortion: Less than 0.3% 200Hz to 20kHz Dimensions: 310 x 190 x 280mm (HxWxD) Weight: 10.5kg (single, unpacked) These will not disappoint!
