Energy Take 5 5-Piece Surround Sound Speaker System, White

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. The Take 5 system, which includes four satellite speakers for the front and rear channels and a center-channel speaker for the dialogue, was the culmination of those efforts. The system produces warm, enveloping audio with a big sound whether you're listening to a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, a low-budget indie, or your favorite jazz CD.

The satellites each boast a 3.5-inch injection-molded cone woofer to handle the low and mid ranges and a 0.75-inch "Hyperdome" tweeter for the highs. The center speaker, meanwhile, distinguishes itself with a second matching woofer. The entire system's audio performance is seamless and crisp, with perfect timbre, tonal balance, and accuracy. It performs particularly well when teamed with an Energy subwoofer, which is designed to round out the low-frequencies in a 5.1-channel setup.

Listeners will also appreciate the sleek design and compact size of each speaker. The center speaker is far smaller than many comparable units, with a white-finished chassis that measures a mere 10.33 inches wide and 4 inches tall. The white-colored satellites, meanwhile, check in at 4 inches wide and 6.75 inches tall, making them ideal for rooms with limited space. Users can even mount them on a wall or in a ceiling corner to fully maximize the installation possibilities. Plus, the speakers are magnetically shielded against video interference, so they won't distort the TV picture regardless of where they sit.

Additional features include five-way binding post speaker connections, which ensure a high-quality signal transfer; a frequency response of 90 Hz to 22 kHz; a nominal 8 ohm impedance; and a recommended power handling of 15 to 100 watts RMS. The entire system 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 5. 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 Take 5 is a package that includes four white satellite speakers (Take2) and one white center speaker (Take1). 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.

4 out of 5 stars Sweet.......2006-04-17

I like them alot,great value for the price
They dont come with a sub which was fine since I made my own DIY 8" ported sub and it made a perfect HT system for my 20x25 room....

5 out of 5 stars These are Fabulous.......2006-01-31

Just had these installed and must be the most underrated speakers on the market. Found a website from 2001, when these were introduced where they were priced at over $1000. For the price that Amazon is offering these, it is impossible to make a bad decision.

The sound is so crisp. Dialog especially is amazing on the Center speaker.

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 5.2 speaker system, which includes four satellite speakers (two each for the front and rear channels) and a center-channel speaker for the dialogue. Whether you're listening to a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, a low-budget indie, or your favorite jazz CD, the system produces warm, enveloping audio with a big sound.

The satellites each boast 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 center speaker, meanwhile, distinguishes itself with a second matching woofer. The entire system's audio performance is seamless and crisp, with perfect timbre, tonal balance, and accuracy. It performs particularly well when teamed with an Energy subwoofer, which is designed to round out the low-frequencies in a 5.1-channel setup.

Listeners will also appreciate the sleek design and compact size of each speaker. The center speaker is far smaller than many comparable units, with a black-finished chassis that measures a mere 11 inches wide and 4.25 inches tall. The white-colored satellites, meanwhile, check in at 4 inches wide and 6.75 inches tall, making them ideal for rooms with limited space. Users can even mount them on a wall or in a ceiling corner to fully maximize the installation possibilities. Plus, the speakers are magnetically shielded against video interference, so they won't distort the TV picture regardless of where they sit.

5 out of 5 stars Research Proven Right.......2006-02-10

When I first ordered this set on Amazon, their were no customer reviews yet available here. Luckily, I had the time to check elsewhere on the net and found several stellar reviews from various audiophile sources. This system is absolutely top of the line at any price. (These Energy speakers beat my old Bose system to pieces. No wonder the critics were raving!) It's simply a steal at Amazon's current sale. In addition to its excellent critical reviews, the company also provides a five year guarantee. The speakers come with pivoting brackets for versatile wall placement. All in all, I could not be more thrilled with this purchase.

5 out of 5 stars A great set of mini-speakers for those with limited space/resources.......2006-02-09

I've owned a set of these (plus the matching 8 inch sub) for about six years now, and they've served me very well. I checked a number of competing products, and concluded that these provided the best all-around sound. Whether you want to hear a movie or your favorite music, these do an excellent job.

5 out of 5 stars Great Speakers!.......2006-01-10

I got these speakers to replace a 10 year old Mach 3 floor standing system with 15" woofers. I did not think small speakers could measure up to "old School" big speakers. However, this system really performs as well as any surround setup I have ever heard, including Bose! For the money, these speakers can't be beat! You do need to add a subwoofer if you really like deep base. The WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)is also worth it due the fact that these speakers don't take up much space so she has more room for her stuff!
