The Acoustic Energy AE2 is one of the most sought after monitor speakers of all time.  Even more rare that the holy grail of mini monitors the AE1.  This is mostly due to the it's compact size yet huge punch and imaging.   Many compare these to the Proac Response 1 SC as they are similar in design and timbre.  



The AE2 is similar in design and philosophy except it features a second midd bass driver and a third front port. 



This particular pair comes in the more desirable and rare mahogany finish which in incredibly striking.  Even more rare are the original matching AE stands which are super heavy and have adjustments spikes on top and bottom.  Together the set looks super cool.  Checkout the many reviews in Stereophile over the year. 



On the back you'll find biwire binding posts.  There are no grills included but Im not sure why anyone would want to hide the drivers as they are visibly good looking.  



The cabinets are in good shape free of any noticeable imperfections or scratches. The drivers are impecable with no signs of deterioration.  The foam surrounds are intact and the tweeter domes are perfect.  



I dont have the original boxes but it will be professional packaged for safe arrival. 


Available for audition or pickup in my home listening room in Ridgewood, NJ or pickup in my office in Union Square NYC.
