Anyone familiar with  Athena LS-300 and Athena LS-C50 center channel and LS-50 book shelf speaker. I have been listening to Klipsch 5.5 floor speakers for years with a similar Klipsch center channel without full surround sound.


Should I expect similar quality sound from the Athena floor speakers as the Klipsch 5.5?

Also I am considering Energy C-500 surround sound speakers system.

The Energy C-500, with it's dual drivers, would be better than the Athena LS-300. I'd take the C-500's over the Athena LS-500's as well but not by a lot. And the CC-50 center would be better than the LS-C50 Athena center. But in either case I would opt for either brands "100" model center channel.

The Energy's would be quite a bit different than the Klipsch's, though. Where the Klipsch's are very bright compared to most other brands, the Energy's would be the exact opposite. Very laid back. Much more so than Athene. They would take some getting used to if you've had Klipsch for a few years.
