What They’re Saying
“These Acoustic Energy AE300 Mk2 are up against some tough competition, but we feel their controlled and detailed presentation serves them well. They don’t try to bite off more than they can chew, and in the process deliver a superbly judged sound that works well across musical genres and with a wide range of electronics. If you are looking for a pair of stand-mounters at this price, put these high on your shortlist.”
Ketan Bharadia, What Hi-Fi, August 2025
“Civilized yet fun and smooth yet feisty, the AE300² offers great value in the budget stand mount space, making it well worth an audition.”
Nick Tate, Hi-Fi World, November 2025
