"After days of research the Take Classic system appeared to be a perfect fit. I received my package in three days and hooked it up right away. It was only then I realized my research paid off. The Take Classic was a perfect solution to my family room. The only thing left for me to research is how to kick my kids off the couch on Sundays. Go Packers!" Greg- Green Bay
"The speaker system fit well in our last apartment and sounds great in our new house even though the room is 2 or 3 times bigger." - Karen - San Diego
"We put our (Take Classic) system in the basement as a way to spend more time together. I was really surprised at how alive it made the room. It added a movie theater feel to our TV."- Sue - Boston
"I have to thank my friend for having this system set up in house, if not I wouldn't own mine today. A demo really sets this system apart." - Darryl - Huntsville
"A easy way to add entertainment to any room." - Rick - Spokane
"The subwoofer didn't overpower our house, just made us feel the movie." - Emma - Carmel
"The system sounded great right out of the box" - Jacob - McKinney
"It came as no surprise to me that Energy's Take Classic speaker package was such a fine all-around performer. The brand has a strong track record in sat/sub packages, and this set continues the tradition. No, these speakers won't give you the slamming low-frequency effects you'd get from phat towers and/or a giant sub. But they deliver the midrange goods--the single most important aspect of speaker performance, if I had to choose one--and kept me intelligently entertained."
A CNET Editor's Choice winner for February 2009, the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Entertainment Speaker System is a no-compromise collection of high-tech components that offer complete and uncompromising fidelity at an affordable price. Made up of four Take satellite speakers, a Take center channel speaker and one 200-watt Take powered subwoofer, each high-gloss black speaker component in this system is masterfully integrated with each other creating a killer sound that is much bigger than it looks and that seamlessly meshes with any flat panel HDTV system.
The Lowdown
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. Integrating the best technologies Energy has to offer, the Take
Classic can fill your room with hair-rising effects and theater-like
sound: hyperbolic aluminum dome tweeters for screaming highs, Convergent
Source Modules for clear, crisp dialogue and music and a Ribbed
Elliptical Surround on the subwoofer that makes every explosion a room
shaking affair. In addition, integrated keyhole wall-mounts, threaded
inserts and rubber bumpers let you choose how and where to place your
speakers.
Bragging Rights
Energy has been a
leader in audio research and development as well as in the engineering
and manufacturing of speakers since 1973. With this pedigree Take
Classic components were developed with Energy's core principles in mind.
These include:
Flat On-Axis Frequency Response 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 also offers terrific performance and great features:
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 Ribbed Elliptical Surround™ for bass that you feel as much as hear. The Convergent Source Module (CSM), with its 3-inch poly-titanium woofer and .75-inch hyperbolic aluminum-dome tweeter, 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.
Exclusive Energy® Brand Technologies
Convergent Source Module
The Convergent Source Module, or CSM, provides wide dispersion, low
distortion and amazing midrange performance. The speaker's midrange and
tweeter are positioned in close proximity to one another and act as a
single source, thereby increasing overall dispersion and reducing any
lobing effect. The chambering of the mid and tweeter lowers the driver's
resonance, reducing distortion.
Ribbed Elliptical Surround Technology
Energy's patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology (U.S. patent
#6,725,967, Canadian patent #2,407,123) increases excursion, eliminates
distortion and raises efficiency on woofers and subwoofers. The
Elliptical Surround encompasses the cone, allowing it to move
identically in both directions, resulting in near zero distortion. And
while conventional designs are often plagued with surround dimpling,
which causes them to radiate in and out of phase and distort at all
listening levels, Energy's designs aren't influenced by dimpling at all,
instead proprietary Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology allows for a
larger cone surface, resulting in greater efficiency. This design also
lets the cone achieve greater peak to peak movement, thus allowing it to
travel more than double the distance of the competition. These
attributes enable Energy woofers and subwoofers to move incredible
amounts of air, ultimately allowing them to play lower frequencies with
greater bass extension and fidelity.
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 frequency response), 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.
