Surpassed ALL Expectations!

This review is from: Energy EF-500 Tower Speaker Pair
Pros:
I've had these Energy EF-500 speakers for about 7 months and absolutely LOVE them! They are a key feature of our entertainment system in our large (20ft x 28ft) family room, and they fill the room with high quality sound with NO problem at all. They reproduce crisp highs, rich mids, and punchy lows; however, they are not intended for deep bass, so I have them pared with an Onkyo 10" powered sub. A first-impression, tell-tale sign of most high-end speakers is that they sound 'tight' at first and require a 'break-in period' to deliver their full spectrum of sound (cheep speakers typically sound as good as they're going to get when first hooked up). When I turned on my receiver after hooking them up, these EF-500s indeed sounded very tight. I was initially doubtful that these would sound much better after the break-in period, but after several days of use they loosened up and blew us away.
My son-in-law has a similar setup in their home with Klipsch Synergy F-20s (similar-ish design), and these Energy EF-500s sound just as good (if not better). Not surprising if you consider that Klipsch Group is the parent company for Energy speakers...
Cons:
I paid $99/pair for them on sale Oct 2012, and I should have got two pair. Will probably never see that price again...
