Alternatives to Energy Take Classic (5.0)

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
Due to the influence of the WAF, I'm finally admitting that my custom built 5.0 surround sound speakers are too big (~12"x8"x10") for the walls of our bedroom. So far, the matching sub is safe because it is well hidden

I might still have an openning to keep 5.1 if I move quickly and don't spend much. The Energy Take Classic 5 Pack seems to be a great value and is about the largest I can consider. Orb Audio and Mirage Nanosats also look interesting, but they are about 2 to 3 times as much.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

While I like the idea of getting a matching sub to keep both the new and current setups complete, I'm hesitant to give up bass that is tight & flat below 30hz.

Thanks

Leon

also check out Klipsch quintets and Polk RM6750 & RM10s as alternatives to the Energy Take classics.

All of these are solid recommendations.
I'd throw another in the mix, largely due to it's great pricing, the Jamo A102. Jamo is know owned by the Klipsch group, and started in Sweden (I think)

It's silver, but it's a super solid system for the price...
Black looks a bit more expensive.
