This year's show sees the launch of two of AE's most important products-to-date - the recently released AESPRIT series and the eagerly awaited AEGO5. The AESPRIT Series combines new high-tech drive units with superb craftsmanship wood veneer cabinets to create a unique blend of performance, style and value for today's demanding music and film recordings. Following on from the highly successful AEGO2, the AEGO5 is the ultimate in discreet but powerful plug-and-play multi-channel speaker systems. A six channel active sub with 5 satellites and Dolby Digital/DTS processor at an affordable price make this product well worth a look. Finally, AE has lead the way in the budget speaker market over the past few years, and the AEGIS Evolution Series is set to continue that trend. A preview of this forthcoming series will also be on show.
