ERWARTUNG ERFÜLLT? | Die Acoustic Energy AE100² im Check | #hifiaudio #lautsprecher

Acoustic Energy's smallest speaker, the AE100², has already found many fans around the world, and there are already a few videos about it. Markus from the German distributor approached me and asked if I'd like to listen to the little one. "Sure," I said... and take it apart. For more information, just visit the Acoustic Energy website: https://acoustic-energy.de/ My list of test songs can be found here: https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/17344166 Independence costs me real money. I find paid tests indecent, don't take any money from the companies, and thus leave thousands of euros on the table. Would you like to support independence? Then I would be very happy if you could send me a small donation via PayPal. You can easily make me happy using the following link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/frank...

I request these from the manufacturer/distributor, and I usually receive them as free samples. So, nothing is shown "at the request of a manufacturer," but only things that are of interest to me or you. And there are no monetary benefits for this, such as "money for testing." The exception is paid advertising blocks, which are then openly and clearly declared as such in the video. These are used for general channel funding. This is a display of my development work and technical information without warranty or guarantee. It is only an example of how it could be constructed. Any construction or reproduction is at your own risk. This applies to compliance with technical specifications, operational safety, and the success and sound of the reproduction. Any compensation for damages is excluded.
