I would strongly recommend these to anyone looking for a good system.

Outstanding system, that was highly recommended by CNET.

I went back to the drawing boards and did a lot of research on speakers for my search of the best system for the price and value

All in all, a fantastic 5.1 system for the price and worth every

Great moderately priced sound system - we are happy with the outcome

Excellent system that lives up to the hype

I've had my Energy 5.1 Take Classic speaker system for about three years now and they continue to impress me almost daily

Hi bought Energy take classic 5.1 recently, and i must say it Rocks!This is my first home theater and i can truly say this system is worth every penny, I paid $400 for these speakers, but they sound like $1000++ speakers

So if you looking for a relatively inexpensive passive 5.1 speaker system I suggest you look into the Energy 5.1 Take Classic before they are no longer available for purchase

This is truly an amazing system

This is a great 5.1 system.

Bought these because i wanted a compact 5.1 speaker system because of limited space

Overall for around $588.00 I feel I have a killer little system

I recommend this system who is in the market for new sounds.

Great system for the price

The system sounds great, true to the reviews that you see here on Amazon

I purchased the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System recently after extensive research.

I just wanted an awesome sounding system in my man cave (smaller sized room in our basement) out of my first 5.1 with great bass to 'feel' action scenes in games and movies.

I highly recommend this sound system for your listening pleasure

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my entertainment system

I first bought an Energy 5.1 Take Classic speaker system in 2000, which I was very happy with, but these speakers are not the same sounding ones as the older set that I previously purchased.

I'd recommend this system with my Pioneer 5.1 receiver to my friends.

Summary:I highly recommend this system to anyone wanting smaller speakers for a surround system.

Just because I gave it 5 stars doesnt mean this is some high end super system, but for the price and my needs it perfect

I was looking for an inexpensive system (cheaper than the high end system @ Magnolia) but will satisfy my listening pleasure whenever I wanted to watch a movie or listen to music

I think the system sounds excellent

Great speaker system.

I've had a much more expensive Bose 5.1 System that served me well over the years, but I can say without the smallest of doubts that the Energy Take Classic is a MUCH more vibrant system

For the price, this system was the best

while it can't match larger, MUCH more expensive speaker systems is really good if set up correctly

The system is beautiful to look at,and so far thats all

For home theatre, this system is powerful enough to shake the walls of my 25x 20 basement when the system is at half the volume

I highly recommend the system to anyone that's looking for a high-quality theater in this price range.

Very good small sound system clear and very nice to look at

Excellent system

The Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System sounds great.

Very good 5.1 system

These speakers truly make your living room sound like you have a $1,200.00 system.

I bought the Energy Take Classic System to replace a Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III system.

This system had me really intrigued

and I returned the product in favor of the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system

This system is awesome , I put this in a 16 x 30 living room and it sounds great.

I can't say enough good things about this relatively inexpensive surround sound system.

By the way, the system sounds great!

For an inexpensive home theater system, you can't go wrong.

Not that my old system was bad, it was a Bose Acoustimas-6 system that everyone always complimented when they heard it

Best 5.1 system for the money - sounds much more expensive

I am currently watching a lot of the bluray movies I have bought and never watched because I was waiting on my perfect system

Excellent system for the money!

After the center channel upgrade, I am really enjoying the system.

The speakers are small and can't produce the range and quality of sound that you will find in an expensive, full size system

After reading a lot of reviews and doing my research there is no better system for the money

Can't recommend this speaker system enough.

For the longest time, I actually hated the system for two reasons.1

The Classic Home Theater System arrived in perfect condition with no problems

The system worked really well for a while paired with a Denon AVR-1312 amp.

good cheap 5.1 system. reasonable volume for a small room.

Excellent speaker system for the price

but you'll be hard to find a great sounding system comparable in price and quality.

After reading revues on Amazon and CNET, I decided to give the Energy Take Classic system a try

I purchases the Take Classic system as a part of a whole home theater upgrade, and I can tell you, it is a night and day difference between my old system.

Awesome inexpensive system.

Best speaker system for the money

My Setup:-Speakers: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System

The Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System is well worth the money

Off the top, the other systems I've heard seem to increase volume by 5 to 10 times during the loud parts (losing quality along with the increase in volume)

If you are looking for a good sound system with a good price

my 07 toyota camry has a "great" sounding audio system that gets irritating to listen to after a while because it is too bright

I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a 5.1 surround sound.

Great system for a small to medium size room

I have to say that the CNET critics were telling the truth when they gave it their top choice sound system for 2011

It took a little research to find this product while having no knowledge of a good sound system before, and i'm so glad i did it

I would certainly recommend this system to a

Amazing system

I can't figure why anyone would consider an overpriced system such

This is a great starter system

I love this system, I think it definitely give me the best bang for the buck, I added a pair of speakers to complete my 7.1 set up at home.

Great home theater system for the price, nice quality.

Overall, its a well balanced system for the size of

I purchased the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System speakers are part of my first entertainment system.

I am not an audiophile but based on reviews of these speakers, I decided to buy the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System along with an Onkyo TX-NR515 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver and an Onkyo UWF-1 Wireless LAN Adapter.

I never never been enjoying the system for 6 months now.

I assure you that for this dollar amount, it is by far one of the best speaker system that you can buy today.

For the price, you probably cannot get a better system.

Great system for the price.

That's when I first read the review and was intrigued and as I have monitored, they still have not lost CNET's recommendation as the best budget sound system that was first given in 2009 and the positive reviews are still pouring in here at Amazon and elsewhere

Awesome system for the price

System is still great

This system is so affordable (relative to many systems of its class), and yet...

If you are looking for a nice surround sound system for a bargain price this is a great system.

To me, this Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System is worth every penny, I couldn't be happier with them.

Surround is good..but overall the system isn't worth the expense

Take Classic Home Theater System for more than a year and absolutely loved it

I don't miss my larger speakers at all, and am actually convinced that the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system is giving me better sound than with my previous system... for a lot less money

Great 5.1 speaker system for a mid size family room.

I would definitely recommend this system to others.

For the money, this is a great system that will provide you and your family with high quality audio that is a sheer joy to listen to.

Great speakers system

new CSI A6).The system is great for music, but if you listen to a lot of 5.1 movie/TV contents, your experience will be much improved with a center channel upgrade

This is a great budget friendly surround sound system

I have had the Energy5.1 Take Classic system for about 4 years now

Speech is crystal clear, music is well-balanced, and the overall quality FAR surpasses my old system and my expectations

A beautiful sounding system...clear and realistic

Sounds as good as my friends $1500 speaker system!!

This system would satisfy 95% of the population.

Bottom line, for this price, I don't think there is a better speaker system, especially for the size

These have been around at least 10 years and they're the best sounding speaker system at the price range or even above.

I am still using the original center channel, just with my wires reversed and the system sounds great

A great speaker system

Best speaker system for less than a thousand dollars,

Best surround system ever

You simply could not get a better sounding compact speaker system.

Yes, you can get a much better and fuller sounding speaker system that will crack you windows and vibrate cats off the fence 3 houses down, but not at this price.

my suggestion would be to save up and get a better system

But this system has not disappointed

Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0 and you have a powerful sound system right in your living room

My husband says at least twice a week, "I love my sound system!"It was a little confusing putting it together, even for him who's a Tech savvy guy; but nothing worth bringing down the rating, cuz once its set up, all is forgiven :

Most reviews say this system is good for small to medium size rooms

This system is just awesome.

good cheap 5.1 system. reasonable volume for a small room.

Recently purchased the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System to go with a Denon AVR1712 receiver & Samsung(PN60E8000GFXZA60) 60 inch Plasma TV

I appreciate a great sounding system, and this setup surpasses my expectations.

I had this Energy 5.1 system sitting in my "Saved for Later" bin for about 5 years, no joke

My last system was shabby, so this is my first "real" theater system and therefore I can't really compare the two

I bought the Take Classic system 5 years ago (It was called Take Five then) and am happy to report it has been fantastic

This has sound quality and low end that rivals systems 3x the size

and I have already recommended this system to a good friend of mine who is currently in the process of hooking up his own new home theater system.

Love this system.

I thought this was a good quality system for my bedroom.

If you shop at Crutchfield, you can get the better Energy system for the same amount of money that Amazon asks for the Energy Take Classic.

Best 5.1 system for the money - sounds much more expensive

We love this system!!

Not that my old system was bad, it was a Bose Acoustimas-6 system that everyone always complimented when they heard it

The Energy 5.1 Take Classic 5.1 system is AMAZING to my critical ears

More separation of the satellites would probably improve my system but that requires more wiring than I have time for now.

Bought the Energy Take Classic HT system to be paired with my Pioneer VSX-1020 receiver

Iv had a few sound systems in my day, every one seeming to get worse to me, always liking the old 1 that finally broke better then the new 1, and i blamed it on old age and hearing problems, but this take the cake, very nice sound system, would of gladly payed twice as much

Take Classic Home Theater System

My search led me to a CNET review of their “Editor’s Choice” of the Energy 5.1 Take Classic speaker system.

I strongly recommend this system and don't think you'll find anything better for under $1,000, and perhaps even over that.

The speaker box enclosure is high gloss high quality casing making this system look quite costly

Seriously, how good could a 5.1 system this small in this price range sound?I was astonished

Not true, these sound better and are built better than my 4 times more expensive Bose system we have in our "entertainment" room.

Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System has a Big Sound in a very small package.

We completed the new speaker break-in period as suggested, and this system sounds great

The Take Classic 5.1 is a fantastic reasonably priced speaker system

I read all the great review about the Energy Take Classic system and finally bit the bullet

This Energy 5.1 system has been doing the job just fine

Would recommend this system

I've had a much more expensive Bose 5.1 System that served me well over the years, but I can say without the smallest of doubts that the Energy Take Classic is a MUCH more vibrant system

Excellent 5.1 speaker system for a small basement and entertainment area

Love this system!

If your in the market for a good home theather system and don't want to fork over tons of money for it definately look into these Energy 5.1 Speakers

I was looking for an inexpensive system (cheaper than the high end system @ Magnolia) but will satisfy my listening pleasure whenever I wanted to watch a movie or listen to music

initially heard about the Take Classic system from a cursory browsing of CNET

This is an excellent system for any size room barring a concert hall

I don't know why this system isn't more well-known

So, if you've made it this far, $350 Yamaha receiver + $300 Take Classic system = $650 that sounds like $5,000

This is a great sound system!!

Great speaker system for the money...very pleased

I am enjoying this system, but it was a lot of work to run the required wires.

But this system is just that good

Great system at a great price.

Very happy,excellent system for my house, can rattle the windows,will need to replace

Very good speaker system

I then looked at reviews on CNET who has this system as their best rated audio system.

The combination blows away my old stereo - a cheaper Sony system

So if you looking for a relatively inexpensive passive 5.1 speaker system I suggest you look into the Energy 5.1 Take Classic before they are no longer available for purchase

Great 5.1 system

Even though this is the only negative it is still a great system and small to medium setups will be enough for any casual user looking for great performance and value.8 months after

This is the most amazing system I've ever owned

Superb home surround system.

great system, as good as the great reviews it has continued to receive.

Outstanding speaker system

I have owned other "top" home theatre systems

This is the best-sounding speaker system at this price.

With the larger sub, the system sounds even better but even with the 8" sub, this is an excellent 5.1 system for small to medium size rooms.

I could have gotten a bigger more expensive system but the system would over power the

They really blow my old polk system out of the waters

When it came time to buy a surround system for my new beach home, I had two choices: a high-end five figure audiophile system or a common man affordable system

System works

This system is good for the $300 price range, but does not out perform much expensive set

At this price point I don't think there's a better sounding system

Love this system!

Excellent system

The only thing I don't like is the glossy finish that attract fingerprints and shows dust easily, but that's a small gripe for such a solid, affordable speaker system

That scene was intense and I quickly realized how powerful this system is for its size.

I power the speakers with a Yamaha 375 receiver, so I have a "fair" surround sound system for $500.

As one HiFi reviews website put it "This is the best system you can get under $1,000... and it only costs $400

This Energy 5.1 Take Classic passive speaker system is great for the money!

Jazz and classical stations come through with a richness and fullness that far exceeds the $1500 system I purchased in my young adult life at a third of the cost.

Here is my setup (all amazon ordered):Speakers: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black

Don't waste your time on expensive, overly marketed systems - just buy Energy.

Great system, it took two days for the dog to figure it out.

for the price, there cannot be a better sound speaker system

My goal was to have a decent system without breaking the bank.

This system sounds amazing, clear highs, and excellent imaging

One word "Absolutely Awesome Home Theatre System".I'm using this with a Denon 2311ci Receiver and i am literally rocking the house down

I am no audiophile but this system is perfect for movies/tv.

We are very pleased and recommend the Energy 5.1 system

I could not be happier with my purchase, and highly recommend this speaker system to anyone with a love for excellent sound.

I wanted a system offering rich, full sound to complement the picture of my TV

I would highly recommend this system.

I recommend these to anyone wanting a fairly inexpensive surround system that will blow you away

System is well worth the money.

Amazing system for the money.

I adjusted the points the LCR to 90hz and the sub to roughly 130hz, the system sounds very impressive and punchy

Well I bought this system after great reviews on here and a family member bought it as well and loved it.

Although Klipsch makes a newer model of this speaker system I went with the Energy 5.1 Take Classic speaker system since the sub-woofer is a 200 Watt speaker.

For the money, I cannot imagine a better sounding home theatre speaker system.

This is a great system for the price.

The system sounds great, but the subwoofer went out after 4 months

I was looking for a good surround system that was inexpensive and provided decent quality sound

A very good system.

The entire system is unusable until this is fixed.

I would recommend these speakers to anyone that is looking for an excellent surround sound system without paying an inordinate amount of money.

But if you are looking for good quality sound at a very attractive price, I would recommend this system

Overall a great budget speaker system - glad I made the purchase.

The speakers are very elegant, perfectly rectangular with precise sharp corners, and really look and feel like a much more expensive system

The Energy 5.1 Take Classic speakers sound as good as the expensive Polk system I had previously, and cost about half as much.

the take classic 5.1 system is the best surround sound system I have owned the satellite speakers are outstanding and nothing comes close to the capabilities of the sub woofer

I would highly recommend System.

you get amazing sound system you never thought possible

Also note that this system (Take Classic) is no longer in production but they were not hesitant to give me info I asked

The Energy 5.1 Take Classic speakers sound as good as the expensive Polk system I had previously, and cost about half as much.

I have it set up in a two story living room and the system sounds really good

Unless ur made of money and can afford a high end system in the 1000's of dollars.

I originally had a expensive Bose system which became unreliable after many years of service but don't miss it at all after buying this new system.

I am very pleased with Energy Take Classic system and consider the sound quality and the price point very good.

Highly recommended system for a small to medium-sized room.

Bought this Energy 5.1 Take Classic system about a year ago

For such a compact system, it's gives out great sound and looks great too.

While it isnt "quite" as loud or crisp as my old system, it is shockingly close with

This sound system has blown

This time I required a relatively compact system

I've had an HDTV for years, but the key to a great home theater system is truly the sound- and these live up to the hype

CLASSICS.Highly recommend these for anybody looking for an extrememly well rounded 5.1 compact system.

I like this system because it the perfect size for watching movies at home

My mom was convinced to go Bose, as another family member had a system and was impressed by the sound

I purchased the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System at the same time as the Marantz SR5005 receiver and speaker stands

Excellent system not just for home theatre but for music listening as well

If the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System was a car it would be a Hyundai Genesis.

I bought these speakers based on the reviews, especially the CNET review that says they're the best budget speaker system they've seen

Purchased this on much research and am very happy with it, don't think I could find a better system for the price.

I would recommend this system to a friend.

Take Classic Home Theater System 2 days back (for $299 on Amazon)

Don't overlook this system

This system is better than my old combo Boston acoustics/Polk

I hate does sounds systems that put out more bass then sound, but you want have that issue here

This system is not good for music listening

and I think that even though these are smaller, they sound as good or better than the andrew jones system.

Great system for the

best system for the

This system is amazing

It's tucked behind the side couch's end table, so I'm not bothered by the blue light (as some have complained here).I would absolutely recommend the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system to anyone with a receiver and critical ear

You would be hard pressed to find a better 5.1 Home Theater speaker system at this price !

This system is simply amazing..it sounds nearly as good as a huge speaker system that costs 2 or 3 times as much, and far better than the Bose satellite system.

The subwoofer needed a little tweaking to avoid a slight rattle but the system sounds great... especially for the price.

You can't find a better sounding system for this price

I was most surprised at how well the system sounded for music

very good system

Very attractive and compact speaker system

This is a GREAT starter speaker system.

If you own an Energy Take Classic 5.1 system, this information is important

If they could re-package these with an inexpensive receiver, you got a great starter system.

This is a great system for 5.1 surround sound.

but if you like to enjoy peace and quite once in a while without having to unplug the power to your subwoofer then this system might not be for you.

Nice surround sound system

Simply put, THE best sound in a compact home theater system.-High end Energy Speaker design (aka: part of Klipsch)-Easy mounting with my Omnimount and Pinpoint mountsCons:-The subwoofer is downfiring (I prefer front firing based on my room placement location) and could have a little more punch for my taste.-The mount hole in the back would be better served in the center instead of top

I was in the market looking for a great sounding 5.1 system

great little speaker system for the money

I disconnected the old speakers, hooked up the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System to the amp

There are better speakers for serious audiophiles who listen mainly to music but this set is more than adequate as a 5.1 system for watching TV.

n’t have to worry too much about scratches or peeling, but it is a laminate/pressboard finish so definitely not indestructible.

Highly recommend t for members wanting to get started up on HT AVR system and are on a budgetHaving said, few
