These are great speakers! They are easy to setup and produce great quality sound. Did not realize that such small speakers could be so effective. They look great as well!

I paired the speakers with an Onkyo sr507 receiver and I couldn’t be happier. As for the stands I went with the Atlantic satellite and made them work. These were not the recommended stands and I did have to “persuade” them a little. I originally tried to purchase Energy Take classic but the seller (Electronics Expo) was out of stock. The seller immediately contacted me and offered to send me the Micro’s for the same price which was quite a deal. I was a little nervous about getting speakers this small for a large living room. The room I put these in is not only large but completely open. The speakers sound amazing!!! Some have commented about these not sounding great with music and I have to disagree. I like loud music and these little gems can kick out the jams. I originally placed the sub in the corner and now have it positioned next to the front right speaker and it sounds much better. I also did contact the manufacture with several newbie questions and they were great.
The best thing about Amazon is the customer reviews. I was going to buy a completely different set up but I’m glad I did the research. Knowing that another customer has the exact same set up made my decision so much easier. Buy these speakers and you won’t be disappointed.

What a great small compact speaker system. I don’t have alot of room for large speakers in my den-wife just would not have it. So I went with the Engery RCMicro
from Electronics-expo.com. Very small speakers with a very big sound! I found a coupon (WS901X5750) that gave me a total price of $427.73. If you have the wife factor as I do and your looking for great sound in a small package give them a try.

These speakers are very clear. Haven’t even broken them in yet and they sound excellent. I have them hooked up to a onkyo sr507 which i highly recommend for this set. For speaker stands i used the Sanus HTB3 Tear Drop stands there a very nice add on for these speakers. I ran monster 12ga speaker cable. My only complaint which is purely personal preference, is that if you are used to a bigger sub for example the logitech z5500′s that have a 12inch which i replaced with these speakers your gonna be a little bit disapointed with the punch of the sub because its only an 8inch 60watt rms sub. So i just replaced it with the Polk Audio PSW505 which i also highly recommend this sub if your looking for some clear, but also heart pounding bass when you need it. All in all this speaker set is the best Ive heard at its price range you would have to spend over a 1000 bucks to match it.

I’ve been hesitant to review these speakers too quickly, as I wanted to allow for a break-in period and make fine adjustments to the system, etc. However, I am already so pleased with them, that they can only improve with additional break-in and adjustment!
Pros:
The first really positive thing about them is the price. For the quality of these speakers, they are very well priced. I was looking for something besides Bose (I don’t hate Bose and have them in other rooms… just wanted something different here), but I didn’t want to sacrifice quality or looks. These speakers are beautifully fininished, in a piano black laquer that makes them at home among the finest furnishings, or a dorm room. They are small enough to easily blend in, just about 30% or so larger than a Bose cube.
The sound is extremely good. Very crisp and clear. I haven’t pushed them hard, but they seem to maintain clarity very well at high volumes. The sound is also rich and full.
Cons:
The cons are not enough to diminish the star rating, but just little things that could be improved, or that they prospective buyer should know in order to make an informed choice.
- The mounting mechanism could be a little bit better… the speakers accomodate either keyhole style or screw in, but the latter would almost have to be custom fit. The keyhole is a bit tight for the speaker mounts that I have… it works, but takes some tweaking.
- The speaker wire connection could stand to be larger to accomodate large gauge wiring. I use two 16 ga. wires in a twisted pair for each connection and they just barely make it… again, not a big drawback, but would be an improvement.
- The subwoofer is good, but will not rock the house… not out of the box. However, the adjustments and settings available on the sub allow for you to compensate to meet your needs. You AV receiver likely has additional abilities to adjust the bass as you require. For my needs and my taste, it is fine – but if you want really thundering bass, it might take more adjustment and placement trials to get that.
Overall, very pleased with the Energy speakers, and I would repeat this purchase. I have them employed in a small (12 x 16) home theatre in my basement, and in that environment they sound incredible. A large room, or very high ceiling might be a lot for them to handle. For my “all black” look, they are asthetically perfect. Some others I considered had silver trimming that would have cheapened the look. The gloss black is elegant and goes with anything.
