The Acoustic Energy AE1 40th Anniversary Edition is a compact bookshelf speaker developed to mark four decades of Acoustic Energy loudspeaker design. It builds on the long-established AE1 platform, focusing on accuracy, control and musical detail in a compact enclosure.

Designed primarily for stereo listening, the AE1 40th Anniversary Edition is suited to small and medium-sized rooms where resolution and tonal balance are prioritised over sheer output. Its monitor-style presentation makes it appropriate for listeners seeking a focused and revealing sound.

As part of Acoustic Energy’s heritage product line, the AE1 40th Anniversary Edition reflects the brand’s long-standing approach to compact loudspeaker design. It sits within the wider Acoustic Energy range and is intended for use in carefully matched hi-fi systems where speaker placement and amplification are given due consideration.
