Sweet Sensation - Why Acoustic Energy's Dinky AE500 is Our Favourite Affordable Standmount Speaker!

Here's something the guys have been saving for a rainy day. For several years now, David and Mike have really rated Acoustic Energy's AE500, but haven't got round to saying so because there have been too many other toys in the attic! But finally the time is right to celebrate this absolute honey of a cheap standmount speaker - it's a seriously musical design.
Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing - and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
