Energy Take 2.2 Satellite Speakers, Black (Pair)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Energy helped redefine the surround speaker category when it first launched the Take family, which combined the small size of traditional satellite speakers with an audio performance that rivaled far larger, more expensive bookshelf and floor-standing systems. Energy has further refined its efforts on the second go round, resulting in the Take 2.2 satellite speakers, which excel as either front or rear surround speakers, or even as stereo speakers when matched with a subwoofer. Each speaker features a 3.5-inch long-throw homopolymer/aluminum cone woofer with a rubber surround to handle the low and mid ranges and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter for the highs. The audio performance is seamless and crisp, with perfect timbre, tonal balance, and accuracy. Whether you're listening to a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, a low-budget indie, or your favorite jazz CD, the result is warm and enveloping.

Users with small listening areas will appreciate the Take 2.2s' relatively compact size, as each speaker checks in at 4 inches wide and 6.75 inches tall. The speakers are also magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can locate them on either side of the TV without distorting the picture. The speakers perform particularly well when teamed with another pair of Take 2.2s to fill out the front and rear channels and Energy's Take 1.2 center-channel speaker, which is tonally matched to create a flawless front soundstage and dramatic realism. However, the Take 2.2s can also be matched with other speaker brands, provided the listener adjusts for the unique tonal qualities of each unit.

Additional features include five-way binding post speaker connections, which ensure a high-quality signal transfer; a frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz; a nominal 8 ohm impedance; and a recommended power handling of 15 to 100 watts RMS. Each speaker, which sports a slick black finish, weighs 3.5 pounds and is backed by a generous five-year warranty on parts and labor.

Product Description
Energy virtually invented the Sub/Sat speaker category when it launched the Take Family. There had been small speaker sets on the market prior to Take, but none that could come close to competing with the sound quality of larger, more expensive bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. With their correct timbre and tonal balance, treble detail and integration, and impossible-for-their-size dynamics; the Take family redefines what you can expect from a speaker system at these price points, and is still considered the benchmark against which other small speakers are judged. The Take1.2 and 2.2 allow mixing and matching to build 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 systems. The Take 1.2 is a single speaker designed to serve as a center speaker, front or rear. The Take 2.2 come in pairs, and were designed as left / right, front, rear, or side effects speakers. The Take 5.2 is a package that includes four white satellite speakers (Take2.2) and one black center speaker (Take1.2). The Take2.2 is also great in pairs for music in the office, den, dorm room etc. In Summary - The Take system, plus a good quality subwoofer (the Mirage NanoSub is a great match), is the ideal package for the music and video buff with a tight budget and a taste for high-end sound. You’ll have a compact, extremely affordable, high-performance system that delivers a smooth, warm balance that invites extended listening. The fit and finish of the Take product is outstanding with its high gloss finish that looks far more expensive than the price tag would imply. They’ll look great integrated with virtually any decor.
