I'm setting up a new 5.1 surround system in a 16x18 room. I think I've decided on the Denon AVR-E300 receiver, and I'm wondering if the Energy take classics would be a good match for said room size and receiver? My budget for both receiver and speakers is no more than $700. Thanks for your...

 Forgive me for maybe sounding like a newbie. I just purchased a Denon AVR-X1000 and Energy Take Classic speakers. I am concerned that I maybe did something wrong while setting them up. The set up is in a medium sized living space and the sound goes from 0-99. I have it set at 60 and it isn't...

Hey guys, I'm planning on making my first home theatre purchase, and I'm wondering if the Energy Take Classic speakers (From the energy take 5 classics range) and the Polk Audio PSW111 would be a good match together seeing as they are from a different brand family? I saw the Energy ESW-C8...

Who here has had a chance to hear or owns one of these speakers? Which is better? Do you like them. Will either system work for a 13x12 ht setup. It's a 55 inch led at 8.5 feet from the viewer? Thanks.
