Back in January, Acoustic Energy launched a brand new iteration of its compact 100 Series stereo speakers. It included four new models: an AE108² subwoofer, AE107² centre speaker, AE109² standmounter and AE100² floorstander.

Now, the British manufacturer has placed a cherry on top of that 100 Series cake in the shape of the AE120², a second floorstander in the range and a true three-way design.

It teams twin 13cm bass drivers with a dedicated 13cm mid-bass unit (all of which use paper cones) and a 25mm soft dome tweeter that sits within Acoustic Energy's WDT (Wide Dispersion Technology) waveguide.

At only 16.5cm wide the AE120² has been designed to deliver big sound from a slim design with the supplied plinth giving the speaker extra stability.

The AE120² floorstanders cost £799 per pair and are available in either Walnut (pictured above) or Black vinyl veneers.
