Built around an offset MTM (Midwoofer-Tweeter-Midwoofer) driver layout, the AE2 pairs two 125 mm spun and hard-anodized aluminum cone mid\/bass drivers with a 29 mm anodized aluminum dome tweeter. The result is extended low-frequency output, increased dynamic headroom, and lower midband distortion at realistic listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve the acoustic neutrality of its predecessor on a grander scale, the AE2 enclosure incorporates strategically placed internal steel damping plates to minimize cabinet coloration. Utilizing minimalist, low-order crossover networks, the AE2 prioritizes rapid transient response, transparent 3D soundstaging, and effortless musical connection—delivering the authority of a compact floorstander with the focus and placement agility of a standmount monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp;
