I am a stereo guy, a 2 channel guy. I have had or still have BAT, Blanced Audio Tech, Conrad Johnston, Nad, Luxman, Adcom, Von Gaylord Audio, Legend Audio Design, Yamaha, Apogee speakers, Krell, ProAc speakers, and now I have Energy EXL-25 speakers. I am very impressed with these speakers. I just sold my B&W DM2 II speakers because the Energy speakers sound much better. To they are clean, transparent, just what I was looking for for my bedroom. Acctually it's a TV room and a stereo room where I can go and listen to my stereo or watch TV. For the price, these speakers are so nice sounding. I am impressed.

I traded a buddy a pair of Bose 201's and $50 cash for these speakers and I have to say its one of the best deals I've ever made.I love these speakers!! I've had Bose,Cerwin-vegas.Missions and Mirage speakers and I have to say I like the sound of these Energy's the best.o get the most out of them you should bi-wire them.I would recomend these speakers to anyone who wants top quality sound for a reasonable price,you cant beat them !!

Detail, soundstage, price

Lack of the heavy punch in the lowest octaves, but that's something that simply cannot be expected from a small tower speaker like this excellent Energy E:XL-25

I bought these speakers at a local pawn shop for qyute a nice price. They're physically a bit beat up, but that's all superficial. They sound great, and are an excellent speaker for classical and jazz music in my smallish room (~400 square feet). They lack some depth in the bass, but that party made by the tight control on the bass it does have. Only in heavy symphonic, opera, and organ music do I miss the true depth is a larger speaker's bass.

In short: a very pleasant speaker to listen to, with a well-defined sound stage, and excellent mids and highs. Slighly lacking in the lowest octaves, but the frequency range covered by these speakers is well-controlled and tight.

I've had these for only one day & already I'm floored. Fantastic in every way, nice warm, neutral tone & ultra-full imaging. Bi-amp/Bi-wirable to boot! Sweet cabinet design & very heavy for such a slim tower. I'm used to nice British sound & these speakers mesh beautifully with my other home-theater Mission & Wharfedales.

Too many speakers to remember & some I'd like to forget (and a few I'd like a refund on).

Well desinged, Excellent value.

Very natural sound across a wide range of music and movies. Good treble and mid range sound.

Fantastic Sound and great grille covers so the kids cannot put their fingers through.

None. If you reading this just go and buy them, but make sure you have a quality amp like Yamaha, Onkyo or Denon etc

I Bought two pairs one pair for the mains and the others for the rears. I can only say that they are fantastic. I had 2 pairs of linear Speakers which was great for music but crap for home theatre. The Energy's I found you can hear every detail which makes me very happy with the purchase.

Very well balanced speakers. Price. A few months ago I burned the tweeters (embarrasing mistake on my side - don't ask for details :-) and I contacted Energy directly. They were very helpful in having the problem solved.

The speakers are heavy, tall and slim. This is a consideration for those with pets and small children. I have a 2 year old daughter (that knows better than to touch the stereo or the speakers :-) and nothing has ever happened. Still, sometimes I wonder ... Minor issue: the plastic feet need frequent retightening. They could be of better quality.

I use these speakers along with a Nakamichi RE-10 stereo reciever and a Rotel RCD951 CD player. The motivation of buying this system was to listen to music, but I've also used the equipement to watch DVDs (Sony Wega 27FS13 and Toshiba SD300X). Music-wise the wole package sounds better than movie-wise (dialogue is sometimes difficult to understand), but I assume that this is due to my entry-level DVD player (and DVD is not optimized for 2 speakers). I'm extremely pleased with the speakers, they are very balanced in the output (treble, midrange, bass). Soundstage is very nice too. I'm particularly fond of the bass because, while strong in output, it is not boomy. Identifying the sound of individual musical instruments is very easy. Placing the speakers to optimize sound quality is tricky - but I understand that this is almost always the case with all speakers. When I bought the system described I wanted to get better sound and quality than dept. store stuff and I am more than pleased with my choice.

Only dept store junk that will never buy again. I rather spend $1500 for a good stereo that'll last 10 years instead of $200 for a crappy stereo that lasts 1 year.

No complaint on high and mid ranges. Small sizes to fit in small areas. Good looking and unbeatable price ($379 cdn/pair with birch cabinet).

Where is the bass? The woofers are too small to produce the low frequency. A separate powered subwoofer is the only way to solve the problem. Cheap plastic footing.

Purchased a pair of EXL25 and EXL15 a week ago. Found a serious distortion on EXL25 and a broken port on EXL15. Anyway, got both exchanged. Also purchased 12 inch Energy Subwoofer a few years ago, it was making electrical humming noise inside the subwoofer. Again, returned it and got a new one. I am pretty unlucky with Energy, but I know Energy makes good sound systems. After listening to EXL25, I found the high and mid ranges were clear. Clarity and detail on music, very accurate to reproduce the sound image. Small tower speaker but great sound.
