  • 🔴 FOR MORE INFO ⬇️
    The AE1 Active differs from preceding AE1 models due to it being an active design but what
    does this actually mean? An active speaker is a design where the amplification that provides the
    power for the drivers is placed after the crossover - the device that determines what frequencies
    are sent to what driver. By doing this, only the frequencies relevant to that particular drive unit
    are amplified by an amplifier that has been configured exactly for that task. The result is a speaker that solves the balancing act of amplifier, crossover and at the design stage without any
    trial and error on the part of the owner and offers higher performance than a passive speaker of
    the same basic size and design. Enjoy the Review!

    Thanks for your review - I have the AE1 Active & I agree with pretty much everything you say; to sum up the sound in one word I would say 'explicit'. They are very coherent top to bottom and the level of detail is incredible, as is the overall value. Avoiding bright-sounding partnering equipment is my preference; I'd love to hear them with a valve pre-amp and that may happen soon.
    I think anyone looking to spend £2K on a power amp + speakers needs to hear these.

    Great review, they’ve done very well acoustic energy not only with the quality of the product, but by keeping it Analogue only, with no built in dac/ Bluetooth etc, these active speakers will age very well indeed, and have done already. I don’t see much competition at this price. I’ll be picking up a pair to go with my chord electronics Hugo TT2 as a small compact system. Thanks again.

    • @MadAudiofficial
      @MadAudiofficial  7 месяцев назад +1

      Sure will be a lovely compact one, enjoy and thx for the feedback✌🏾

    The Wiim Pro and Pro + do come with DSP as a ten band graphic EQ and a parametric EQ. That is the principle reason I purchased the Wiim Pro. I love that I am able to tweak the EQ a little when I need to. It takes no time at all, and it makes up for all these amplifiers with no tone controls these days. Thanks for the video.

    I think these actives are quite revealing of source and pre amplification, a better source and pre would and does give excellent results. I’m using my Naim 272 streaming pre amplifier using Tidal and Innuos hard disk player with superb results.

      @MadAudiofficial  7 месяцев назад

      Absolutely, Naim 272 wow High-End stuff👍🏽

    Active speakers can be further divided into analogue and digital (DSP) speakers.

    The sibilance occurring in the high-pitched range is due to 1. Source sound quality and recording environment impact. 2. The sibilant sound in the high-pitched range is a common problem with almost all low-priced Chinese DACs, so the solution must have a good filtering function.

    I just bought a pair in gloss walnut. Wow they are much more stunning in real life! I'm looking to add a couple of subwoofers at some point. What would you say would be a good match?

    • @MadAudiofficial
      @MadAudiofficial  6 месяцев назад +1

      Something musical, sealed and not big, SVS 3000 micro or velodyne deep blue are good examples!

    Measuring before auditioning can further bias and skew your subjective opinion. I think the better way is to do it the other way around.
