Many also appreciate the affordable price point, finding them to be a great value.

    Decent entry level book shelf speakers. Packs a punch. Good separation in the sound. Get a sub with it to really get into the powerzone.

    Not entirely satisfied with these for my home theater setup. Bundle includes CF 30, CC 5 and 10" subwoofer and these CB 10. Wanted he CB 20 but best buy would not let me break the bundle and upgrade. CB 10 might be suitable for a small room. I knew they would be undersized for my use, but the bundle price was very good.

    I got this to fit my entertainment center and it fits great. It is not a powerful sub-woofer, but for the size of the room it suits fine. It looks slick and goes well with my other home theater components.

    I had a need for bookshelf speakers for my den. These speakers sounded great in the store and just as good in my den. I hope to use them for many years.

    Great Sounding Speakers

    I bought these speakers as a birthday gift for my son. After hearing them, I wanted to take them away and keep them for myself. These speakers sound AMAZING! Bass is powerful and highs are crisp. For the price, you can't go wrong. I even compared them to Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) and there was very little difference (other than price).

    great book shelves for music

    Purchased these as part of the closeout on all Energy speakers. Got them for a great price. Today I compared them to a pair of Klipsh reference series and B and W book shelves I already have. These little energy speakers sound great. Very rich and full sound. A lot richer then the Klipsch which can sound a bit tinny in the high end. They souded very similar to the B and W (not quite as good but about a third the price) . I'm kinda bumbed now that Energy is going away. I am going to look for some other close outs though for a sub to go along with them. They sound great for music and I think would be excellent surround speakers.

    Excellent for higher end hi-fi entry level.

    As they are a product by Polk, one cannot simply go wrong. After one week of use, I am grateful for the purchase. They sound clear, produce a much larger sound than they are in size. They aren't the most efficient speaker in the world so I had to reconfigure my home theater settings a bit, but at the end, well worth it. I have them configured in the system as "large" front channel speakers on a Yamaha Aventage RX-A710. Paired with their CSW-10, they were a great upgrade investment to a small theater packing a punch. They were purchased with the intent to be used as rears in the near future in a larger theater layout.

    Blown Away

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I decided to buy a receiver and a few bookshelf speakers to upgrade the sound on my LED, and went this route instead of a sound bar. Good soundbars compared in price and lacked the features and capability to add on speakers down the road...this is my first experience with speakers but i am absoutely BLOWN AWAY at the quality of sound on these bad boys. dont let size fool you - these little things pack a serious punch and paired with an energy sub sound AMAZING! my room is large at 12 x 20 and these paired with a sub fill it up nicely.

    Great Sound for rear channel value

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    They setup easily, connected to my rear channel outputs on my Denon AVR1910 Amp, no issues with the quality sound great for rear channel, match the finish and internals of my front speakers and are working great in that capacity, five channel stereo music sounds great no distortion @ 80Watts/channel adequate for non dialogue driven speakers. Would have preferred the cb-20's but they were in stock and every other desire for other speakers in this system was met. Wouldn't recommend for front channel listening as male octave reproduction would be impacted due to the size of the mid channel driver in these speakers.
