Acoustic Energy Ae 500 speaker. Any experience?


Just wondering if anyone has owned a pair of Acoustic Energy AE500 speakers  and what was your experience? Thanks in advance.

I've heard them before. I was impressed by how articulate they sounded for the asking price. An easy decision to make IMO.

AE3's were one of the nicest box stand mount speakers I've heard.

May not even be around, this link's no good

I believe the line was originally sourced in Canada way back when. Then sold to someone but now recently required by a Brit company and back in the game. Thomas and Stereo did a nice review of their 509 stand mount and what I can read sounds good. The bookshelf AE500 uses the same mid/woof and tweeter as the larger 509 I believe. I think the US retailers require a restocking fee so that doesn't appeal. 
I remember having a pair of the old models thirty years ago and selling them to a friend. He was subsequently burglarized and really distressed that he couldn't find replacements.
