    It would kick the sit out of a Bose system for 1/3 the price.

    wow RKLE, hope you were joking. great set of speakers, get it paired up with an entry level sub for another $200, and you'd have yourself a decent beginner's system.

    I recently purchased this set of speakers and they are awesome. I paired them with a great sub that I got for a little over $200. Do any research on AVSforums.com and you'll know what I am talking about. I don't really know if this an amazing deal b/c I bought them for this price at wwstereo a few months ago. They are still $199 w/ free shipping. http://www.wwstereo.com/#/ecommerce/store/Speakers/33/144606/120_84__0_-1/

    Energy is a Canadian company and they make good stuff. The 5.1 version, these speakers with a 200w 8" subwoofer were highly rated on Audioholics. I personally prefer slightly larger bookshelf speakers that comfortably go down to at least 80hz but these good satellites. Pair them with an Energy 200w sub or a TSC T250 for about $250 more and you'd be styling.

    FWIW vanns was selling the 5.1 version for $399 but they are out of stock. That was a heck of a deal.

    Energy is no longer a Canadian company. Its parent API was bought by Klisch an American company so they're now technically an American company.

    I have the 5.1 setup and with the sub in the corner of the room they give a great range of sound without taking up alot of room.
    AVSforums is where I found out about them. A great place to read up on opinions. Just not Bose.

    Yep. You don't talk Bose over at AVS unless it's trash talk.
