Many also appreciate the affordable price point, finding them to be a great value. While some mention the size as a potential limitation depending on the listening environment, the overwhelmingly positive feedback centers on the audio performance.

    I have a Bowers and Wilkins center channel and a Denon receiver. I bought these and the Denon receiver. I have a little known brand called Radian Research towers up front in the 7.1. I bought these for my surrounds. At this price point they cannot be beat. Let them break in. I went back a week later and got the Bowers and Wilkins 685s2 as my surrounds and moved these to the rear. These are honestly very close to the more expensive speakers. These are the best choice in small speakers without breaking the bank. I really like the range and the tweeters. They pack some bass. Crystal clear and very close to the bowers and Wilkins smaller bookshelves for half the price. Sound better than the deftech which are twice as much in my opinion.

    I wanted two new speakers to sit on top of the cabinets in our tiny kitchen. The old ones were OK, but... old. I thought I should be able to do better. The salesman recommended them. Took no time to replace the old speakers with these, they were 100 percent improvement, and they did not cost much. I listen to them almost every evening when I am in the kitchen. How much for a year? About 25 cents a day. I don't know why I waited so long. Keep in mind, they are for a small space.

    We were replacing old back speakers, thought we wanted something entirely different until we talked to the Magnolia guy (those guys are great) he listened to what we want we wanted and led us to these speakers. We cannot believe the improvement in sound. Highly recommend both the speakers and talking to the Magnolia guys.

    Bigger sound than I expected from a smaller-sized bookshelf speakers. They don't have the deep base sounds I had previously from a set of large floor speakers (as expected), but still a good, balanced sound. And, having purchased them on sale, the value was even better than expected.

    I purchased these speakers for my home theatre build. I reviewed and listened to many different bookshelf speakers in researching what to buy for my home theatre. I was impressed with the sound quality in the Magnolia room at the BestBuy store and decided these were the speakers for my system. I mated them to a Yamaha RX-V475 receiver and a wonderful union was born. The sound quality was incredible, I hear everything!! My music has never sounded better. For the price, I think these speakers are as good if not better than most tower speakers is have heard. I would recommend these speakers to anyone that enjoys great music and theatre sound.

    I'm using this set of speaker as my front speakers on my home theater system and I have to tell you, this is the best set I ever had. The sound quality is super. Nothing beats the quality for the price.

    It was time to update my speakers. Did my research and then went over speaker choices with a Best Buy employee. Decided to go with the Energy speakers, glad I did they are crystal clear and sound great.

    Energy Bookshelf Speakers

    The Energy Bookshelf Speakers are made by Klipsch. They are excellent quality and very affordable. They have excellent highs and mid-range sound and are the clearest & cleanest sounding bookshelf speakers I ever owned in this price range. They also have enough punch and bass, so that you can listen to music without a separate sub-woofer.

    I got to try these out in the Magnolia Room at Best Buy. I couldn't believe the quality for the price. I tested them listening to classical music. Awesome sound.

    I bought these on sale as a Christmas preasant for myself. I'm using these as a second set of rear speakers in my stereo set up. I liked these little speakers so much I got my brother to buy a full 5.1 set. He got these and the f30 towers and an energy center. He's running those through a pioneer elite 5.2 reciever. After watching a couple movies at his place I decided to buy a set of the f30 towers for my place. I couldn't be happier. So to make a long story short, you can't go wrong with these little speakers but they sound so good you may find yourself upgrading the rest of your setup.

    Amazing speakers. Right now these are the only two speakers I have plugged in to my receiver, and it sounds like I have a subwoofer plugged. in. Great range. Sounds superb with music, games, and movies. Deep sound; I cannot find anything negative to say about these speakers.

    Moved to a new house and needed to downsize speakers. These were recommended and decided to give them a try. Sound great for their size. They are not the quality of floor standing speakers but that is to be expected.
