Hi there everyone,
I recently picked up a pair of Energy 5.1e's for $125 (great offer IMO), along with a AC-300 center speaker for $175.
Now I'm going to take a look at another pair of 5.1e's, as well as a pair of C-6's. The asking price for the C-6's are 280, and the 5.1e's $350 -- though I'm fairly confident both pairs can be negotiated down a bit [hopefully].
In the AC-300 manual, it says that the connoisseur line, along with the Veritas and Audissey speakers, are good matches for the center channel.
Any suggestions on which might be a better deal, and what a good asking price might be for either (5.1e's or C-6's)?
Which is considered a "better" speaker? The C-6'a are listed as having dual 6" woofers, while the 5.1e's have dual 7" woofers, and both seem to have a 1" tweeter. But, I know that the numbers don't necessarily mean one is better than the other...
Any thoughts, esp if one set would match "better" with the center channel?
Thanks so much! Looking forward to finishing off my 5.0 set (sub comes next!)!!
John
PS - I couldn't find any documentation on the C-4 through C-8 series speakers; no PDF on Energy's site that I could see. Anywhere I could be pointed to for similar material?
