Product Description
This landmark Energy 5.1 Take Classic home entertainment system flaunts superior MDF cabinets finished in sophisticated high-gloss black. It includes a powerful 200-watt subwoofer with a front-firing port, 8" driver and patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround(TM) for well-defined bass reproduction. But the coup de grace is the newly added Convergent Source Module (CSM) with its 3" poly-titanium woofer and .75" Hyperbolic(TM) aluminum-dome tweeter. This proprietary technology provides a dynamic frequency range and an expansive soundstage, resulting in smooth, realistic sound that emanates from each satellite speaker as well as the center channel. Music and movie lovers can now rejoice because the Take Classic not only breathes life into every entertainment experience, it incites an intense passion in every listener.

Great sound (especially for the price) October 5, 2008

These are great speakers that sound terrific! I've these connected to a Denon 3808. I'm not an audiophile, so I can't spout stats to back up all my claims, but since sound is as much experience as statistics, here goes:
The sats are really compact and look very sleek (polished/shiny black) and hardly 3 lbs. They can go anywhere pretty easily. The sound from the center channel and the sats beats anything else I've heard. (As a comparison, I could tell that the sound deteriorated with Bose at medium volumes.) Even at very high volumes the sound retains its tone and clarity. The subwoofer functions exactly as it should - more noticeable when it's off than when it's on.
I shopped around at Magnolia, Best Buy & Circ City for various speakers, and I can tell you with confidence that if you're in the market for compact speakers and awesome sound without spending thousands, this is the system for you.
I do have two minor complaints - both to do with the 5-way posts. First, the speakers are supposed to have 5-way posts, but I couldn't figure out a way to use banana plugs and had to settle for screwing down the speaker wire. Second, one of the posts was screwed down so tight (out of the box) that to open it up, I had to actually open up the speaker (forget the details) and then carefully get this post to function again.
Overall - an easy speaker to recommend. And, the price can't be beat! Don't waste your time on expensive, overly marketed systems - just buy Energy.
 Great speakers October 3, 2008
These speakers are very compact. Given their size they produce very rich sound. Not quite what you'd get with larger speakers, but still very good.
Wow these speakers Rock! September 25, 2008
I bought this with an Onkyo TX-SR606 reciever. I could not be more pleased. I am not an audio expert, but I listen to enough music to know the difference between bad and good speakers. These are excellent.
Pros: Nice looking black piano finish, perfect sound, easy to setup and install, nice clean bass. The speakers are so clear my dog thinks the doorbell is ringing for real when I am watching TV.
Cons: None
Wow!! August 1, 2008
These speakers are incredible. I have them connected to my PC through a Denon 788 receiver and the clarity is unmatched for gaming or watching my latest Blue-Ray. If you are thinking about getting a new HT setup, I highly recommend these speakers paired with a high quality receiver. I went to a friends house who had just purchased a 'big box' from one of the large retail stores and it made me wish I had brought ear plugs. Do yourself a favor spend a little more and get years of satisfaction in return.
Happy After 5 years July 11, 2008
I bought the Take Classic system 5 years ago (It was called Take Five then) and am happy to report it has been fantastic. The price has been cut in half (due to the move to China manufacturing) since then. These are great speakers and have not blow out or buzzed or anything even in Arizona 120 degree heat. Highly recommend.
