At about $700.00 a pair, the AAD E48 are a competitively priced good performing pair of speakers.
In case you don't already know, the man behind this design is Phil Jones of Acoustic Energy, who later designed for Boston Acoustic's Lynnfield project. He then worked for Platinum Audio before beginning AAD.
The AAD speaker is cost effective because is manufactured in a huge production facility in mainland China. Phil moved there with his family in the late 90's and has baby sat the project ever since.
The important thing other than understanding the speakers origin, is listening without pressure from the sales people. If possible, compare with speakers at other audio stores and see what makes you happy.
