OK...I am new here, and I am hoping to get some good advice from some of you experts on my system setup. Posted below is my present equipment:
Samsung UN65JS8500 4K television
Samsung UBD-K8500 4K Blu-Ray Player
Pioneer Elite VSX-45 Receiver
Energy Take Classic Home Theater Speaker System (5.1)...
OK...so I have purchased a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K receiver and was looking for a set of Energy Take Classic 5.1s...but the Energys were impossible to find. I was browsing in our local Best Buy when I happened upon a set of the Klipsch HD Theater 500 speakers that had been used as a display set on...
Hey Gene and Andrew...and others. Just scored a set of the Klipsch HD Theater 500 speakers for an amazing price from Best Buy. These were floor models. New ones (exactly like these...same serial numbers and all) are $599...and I got these for $249!!! I also bought the 4 year warranty...I...
Gene...still have not made up my mind completely, but am leaning toward the Jamo 5.1. The question I have is this...I will be pairing whatever I get with a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K. Can I use 6 ohm speakers with that receiver, or will 6 ohm speakers give me trouble? I know about enough technology...
Gene and others...was wondering what you think about the following 5.1 speaker system. Was reading in another forum and this was suggested as a good option for another reader who was also looking for the Energy Take Classics...
So...am I reading you correctly that you would not recommend the oxygen free speaker cable in the clear sheathing...but the CL2 wire instead? The one reason I have hesitated with the CL2 is that it is white and I wanted it to be a little less noticeable as I do cable runs...hopefully mostly...
Thanks Gene...I have been looking at these speakers, and have been scouring the internet to see if I could find a review. So far, I have not come up with much. I did manage to find out that they are a part of the Klipsch group of speakers (Klipsch, Mirage, Energy and Jamo). I am pretty...
Interestingly, I went ahead and tried to order from AV Home Systems...and guess what...it came up as unavailable. So I went to the other site...and tried to see how far I could get on their site...also unavailable. Then I tried to see if I might order the Energy RC-Micro, even though I would...
Oh yea...one more thing. Try googling Brothers Appliance and Electronics also in Madison, WI. Seems to be almost an identical web portal/website...but list the Take Classic 5 Pack for $233.09 plus a whopping $63.27 to ship for a grand total of $296.36. Sure looks like the same website and both...
Normally when I purchase, I try to do so through Paypal. I have my bank account set up to deduct the cost directly from my checking acct. I have dealt with Paypal before and they have been really good about helping you to recover your funds if you get a company/person who is scamming.
I may...
I would love to purchase them from Energy, but when I click on the site...and the Energy Take 5 Pack to be exact, it tells me I have selected a discontinued Energy product. I am amazed that for as well as these speakers sold, that they have not brought them back. Anyway, the only place I have...
Hello Gene....thanks for the advice on the Bose speakers. I will most likely move them to the basement with my very old Pioneer VSX 5900S for the time being. Meanwhile, I am on the hunt for the Energy speakers. Unfortunately, the Take Classic 5.1s have been discontinued, but in very limited...
Thanks for writing Gene. I really appreciate the insight...still don't know why, when Energy has a strong winner like the Take Classic, that they don't hold on for a bit longer. Do you know what they replaced the Take Classic 5.1 with? I see the RC-Micro that is also supposed to have amazing...
I have been looking for a set of 5.1 speakers that won't break the bank. I have looked at Consumer Search and Consumer Reports. Most reviews I have read, including those just listed, seem to rate two 5.1 systems very highly. They are...
