Energy Take Classic 5.1 - Product Description
An affordable, high-performance 5.1 home theater package, the Take Classic System builds on the success of the brand's Take 5, an award-winning product that Stereo Review once regarded as "the best-sounding home theater system under $1,000." Flaunting superior cabinets finished in high-gloss black, this setup employs several proprietary technologies, including Convergent Source Modules, for a dynamic frequency range and an expansive soundstage. And, it seems to be following in the footsteps of its predecessor. While Home Theater Sound gave the Take Classic System a Reviewer's Choice Award, Audioholics believes: "For such a modest set of speakers, they really sound great."

Energy Take Classic 5.1 Review - Energy Take 5.1 Speakers
To start with, let me introduce the company who manufactures the Energy Take 5.1 Classic speakers. Energy® is considered to be one of the leaders in the audio research and development and also the leader in the manufacturing and engineering of loudspeakers since year 1973. Energy® is owned by Klipsch Group, Inc., a Canadian based company. Energy® manufacturer adapted the ideas they learned from the earliest studies on psychoacoustics in Canada, and continued the development to achieve accurate and pure sound reproduction on all Energy speakers.
The company follows three main principles of performance, namely: (1) flat on-axis frequency response with wide bandwidth, (2) wide, constant dispersion, (3) and low distortion and resonance. To make it simple, the objective is to provide Energy speakers with a clear, honest sound, realistic just like you are listening to live orchestra or band in concert, as well as real life theatre surround sound.
Energy Speaker System is under the Klipsch Group, Inc. which also oversees business operations for other great speaker brand today such as, Mirage®, Klipsch® and Jamo® speaker brands.
Here is the summary on Energy Take Classic 5.1 Review from various users.
PROS
Sound Quality
Based on the information from various consumers who purchased Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers, I have summarized the following reviews. Most users commented that the sound quality is great and amazing and considered this product to be the best in its class. The sound is clear, crisp and audible even at low volume. It has also good balance of surround sound that you can even feel like you are in the middle of the action. The Energy Take Classic 5.1 Speaker system is good for both movies and music listening. Some users commented that it is great for classical and jazz since it can reproduce the reality sound from musical instruments. The 8" subwoofer is deep and perfectly balanced with satellites. Most people are surprised that Energy Take 5.1 Classic produces great sound at stereo mode or 2.1 mode, by using only the left and right front speakers and subwoofer when listening to music. This is not common to small sized speakers. Due to its size, the Energy Take 5.1 Classic Speaker system is recommended to anyone with a small to medium size room, around 15 x 20 square feet.
Appearance
Another good point about Energy Take Classic 5.1 speaker system is the good and very attractive appearance which can add value to your home theater room looks. It looks much expensive compared to the actual price. It is well constructed with elegant piano gloss black finish. It has relatively good size satellites and easy to setup. The satellites of Energy Take Classic 5.1 are easy to mount on the wall as they are omni mounts and pinpoint mounts. The grills are detachable and also look great with grills off.
CONS
Although most people who have tried and used Energy Take 5.1 Classic speaker systems considered it the best in its class, there are few people with some negative feedbacks.
Very few users stated that mid frequency and bass is a little bit weak. The subwoofer is down firing and not front firing which be the reason why it is lacking of punch as commented by some user. It is also needed to break in the speakers for about 50 hours before you can get the real sound quality. But, I guess this is common among speaker systems to get great long life results.
VALUE FOR MONEY
Most users consider this Energy Take Classic 5.1 home theater speaker system to be great value for money. It has a very reasonable price. This is considered to be a superior sounding yet economical speakers.
REMARKS
The review and feedbacks on Energy Take Classic 5.1 home theater speaker system are just guides for people who wish to purchase a new home theater speaker system. It is still best to audition the speakers yourself in order to find out what best suits your requirements. Also, do not forget that the amplifiers and receivers are big factors in sound reproduction. No matter how expensive or great your speakers are, if you have a lousy front end, then you cannot obtain good results. You should also consider the room acoustics and room size. Most people experienced that when they auditioned the home theater system from the store's demo room it was great but when they purchased the same system and setup at home the sound quality was not that expected or different and lacking in the performance. This may be due to the fact that the demo rooms are perfectly setup with a good room acoustics.
