Energy Take Classic review
Available exclusively at Amazon.com Take Classic is a no-compromise
collection of high-tech components—satellites, subwoofer and center
channel—with all our best stuff packed inside great looking high-gloss
black cabinets. Packaged 5.1 home theater system Compact speakers and
subwoofer look great with contemporary flat panels High-gloss black finish
has high-tech look Amazing deep bass from 200-watt subwoofer Take Classic
proves that convenience doesn’t have to mean compromise. Sure, you can
shop for individual home theater components—but you won’t get better
performance, or better looks. We picked the best of Energy’s
technologies, so Take Classic can fill your room with hair-rising effects
and theater-like sound: hyperbolic tweeters for screaming highs, Convergent
Source Modules for clear, crisp dialogue and music and a on the subwoofer
that makes every explosion a room shaking affair. Keyhole slots, threaded
inserts and rubber bumpers let you choose how and where to place your
speakers. Take Classic components were developed with Energy’s principles
in mind: with Wide Bandwidth: Speakers should reproduce the entire
audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency
dominates any other, Energy ensures that every note is the way it was
intended to be—and the sound as natural as possible. Wide and Constant
Dispersion: Sound at all frequencies radiating from the speaker should be
in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the room. Low Distortion
and Resonance: speaker system is distortion- or resonance-free, but
Energy has achieved a significantly lower distortion level, a clearly
audible improvement. The Take Classic 5.1 home theater system offers
terrific performance and great features: and .75-inch hyperbolic
aluminum-dome for more powerful bass response Take Classic raises the bar
for 5.1 speaker system performance. It includes a powerful 200-watt
subwoofer with a front-firing port, 8-inch driver and ™ for bass that you
feel as much as hear. The (CSM), with its 3-inch poly-titanium and .75-inch
hyperbolic aluminum-dome , focuses sound for clearer dialogue and stirring
music. The CSM gives soundtracks a dynamic frequency range and a huge
soundstage, for smooth, realistic sound from each satellite speaker and the
center channel. Music and movie lovers rejoice! Take Classic puts the
passion back into your favorite films. The center channel speaker needs to
be centrally located so that the dialogue appears to be coming from the
center of the screen. It needs to be above or below the monitor, as closely
to it as possible. If you’re using a rear projection television, the most
likely option is to place it above the screen. If you have a front
projection system, you have choices—stand mounting, or placement on
furniture, for example. It is important, though, to place the speaker so
that its front edge is even with the edge of the shelf or stand supporting
it. Unwanted diffraction occurs when the center channel is too far back
into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede sound
dispersion. For left or right front channels, the distance between the
speakers should be 6-8 feet at minimum for the best stereo imaging. The
optimum room shape is rectangular, with the speakers along one of the
shorter walls, facing the opposite side. If possible, do not place speakers
against a wall or at rear of a bookshelf; corner placement is usually the
worst option. Try to keep the speakers—especially rear vented models—at
least two feet from the surface behind it, unless you use a vent plug. For
best results mounting on a rear wall, position the speakers so they flank
the main listening area and point toward the front of the room. They should
be raised to a height of approximately six feet and should ideally have a
space of six feet between them. The three most common subwoofer locations
include corners (which can result in boomy or exaggerated low ), placement
along a wall, away from the corner (producing moderate bass performance
with increased fidelity over corner placement), or beside a front speaker
(creating a better blend with the front speaker, but sacrificing overall
volume). Experimentation with subwoofer placement is highly encouraged;
slight adjustments can create big differences in sound reproduction. To
test subwoofer placement, install it temporarily in your main listening
position and walk around the listening room while playing a familiar piece
of music until you find the best sounding position. : Sat: 115Hz-20KHz;
