These speakers are very compact. Given their size they produce very rich sound. Not quite what you’d get with larger speakers, but still very good.

I bought 4 of these stands (2 x 2) to mount my Energy Take Classic speakers. The price is definitely right on these stands, they are heavy duty and are not easy to tip over with a sudden bump (which has happened a few times), and are easy to put together and set up. The only drawback that I have for these is that the placement of the mounting hardware on the stands in reference to the screw holes in my speakers required me to mount them upside down in order to be able to fasten them to the stands. I don’t think that this affects the sound all that much and when I filled the grills over you cant even tell so I am happy so far. Just wish the mount extended a little higher is all.

I hooked these bad boys to my PS3 and Yamaha V665 Receiver. The power it unleashes is scary.
Now what I need are some good speaker stands and a wireless rear speaker kit.
Can you guys let me know what stands do Amazon have that are compatible and enable wire to
be hidden.
Also a wireless speaker kit. Is the Rocketfish kit any good?

I ordered the Take classic based on reviews on Amazon and Consumer reports. The vendor advised me they would upgrade me to the RC micro 5.1 model since they were our of stock on the Classics. I am very pleased with the substitution. They sound crystal clear and are great connected to the Onkyo HT-RC180. I have cranked the volume up to uncomfortably loud levels with no noticeble distortion. I found setting the subwoofer crossover frequency potentiometer to maximum and the power level to 50% resulted in the best blending of subwoofer to micro speakers. My room was large and I wanted to be enveloped in sound so I purchased a second Energy subwoofer positioned diagonally across the room. This achieved its purpose. I also backed off the power level to 40% on both subwoofers. I would also recommend the Atlantic stands to go with them. They are inexpensive, well made and the speakers mount perfectly although the mounting bolt was almost too short but that could be easily remedied with a slightly longer bolt.

Great to look at, wonderful sound and then there’s the sub. The Energy 12 inch sub is a window rattler. The price puts these in the realm of the truly great small speakers.
