Great clear sound Excellent value

Cones blow easily

Had this speakers for over 18 months. Had the cone blown on two of my speakers. By the sounds of it I'm not the only one having problems. Too bad because the system sounds great, but it's annoying to be missing componenets on your surround system for about 3 weeks while it's in the shop for repair.

Good quality sound. The center channel is good.

Doubtfull about the lonlasting life of the speakers. Will not buy them again. Frontals are not good.

The first Energy speakers I had lasted only 1 month after the cones in all of the five speakers were blown . They were replaced by warranty and with the new ones and after 9 months the two frontal had the cones blown.

Great sounding but as previously stated longterm use could be unknown.

Build quality, I too had a woofer blow out & crossover fried like previous poster. Was repaired by Energy under warranty but said they will not repair again blaming my components for it. Used numerous speakers & no problems except with the Energy's.

Great sounds for such a small speaker. would rate it a 5 except for the seemingly inferior xover & woofers thast have a tendency to blow.

Great sound, able to handle full-bandwith rated outputs. Perfect for smaller rooms. Great for movie playback.

Reliability? Most people speak highly of these speakers, but I''m not sure. Strongly recomend calibrating system with sound meter.

Great speakers for the money, dynamite sounding, but I am concerned with their long term performance. Since I got the Energy Take 5.2 system (w/ 8.2 sub), I have had one 2.2 woofer cone go bad, another 2.2''s crossover went bad, and then finally my 8.2 sub''s cone went bad. Although they were repaired under warrantee, it took 1-2 weeks per speaker. Also, I had complained about a rattle in one of the speakers, which the repair center said "they couldn''t detect." The second time I sent back that same speaker, the rattle was corrected, although they still said they couldn''t dectect the problem. I''m happy they were fixed, but I worry about the future. I also wish I would have went with their higher-end models- I think it would be a better match with my Denon 2802.

- Very clean in 2 channel music - Excellent in DTS surround - Strong Binding posts - molded woofer with graphite, for a very strong speaker. - strong cabinet with nice finish - includes wall mount brackets

- must have sub, put what sat system doesn''t.

They are quite possibly the best sounding sat speakers next to the encore. They give you a excellent surround system for very little out of your pocket. The only thing is you must have a sub for those lows. The energy S10.2 fits that system very nicely.

Small size, Big sound, comes with nice mounting hardware

Sometimes muffled, no bottom end, but thats what subs are for

Its a good surround for the casual listener, anyone on a budget will enjoy this speaker. I would not recomend it as a main, only surrounds. If you can afford it though, spend the extra 50-60 bucks for the M&K K5's, much better

none at this time

I have the entire Energy Take 5.2 system with the S8.2 sub woofer. Simply put, these speakers kick ass. For the money you spend, you get quality and performance that is simply amazing. I have these speakers hooked up to the Dennon AVR-1801. The sound from this set up is wonderful especially when watching DVD's , the 8 inch sub is more than enough bass. Music sounds great too, although some people say there is a frequency hole with this AVR, I have not heard anything or missed anything. If you're on a budget, go get these speakers they will amaze your ears and eyes. I have the four speaker stands with this system, in all it cost me 1200 Canadian for the entire set up. Go get these speakers before someone else does...
