    Speaker Stands for Klipsch HD Theater 500 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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...

    Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers

    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... Energy Take Classic 5.1 Definitive Technology ProCinema...
