|
Energy has managed to outdo itself once again. Legendary in the audio industry for making some of the best speakers, Energy has created the Energy C-100 speaker set; a true jewel. This compact 2-way design is ingenuous, such that it can be placed in a multitude of locations or installations and still deliver incredible sonic results. Thanks to its physical dimensions it can be stand mounted, bookshelf mounted or permanently installed on a wall thanks to its integrated Macromount(TM) insert [Energy Macromount(TM) bracket is required, sold separately]. This flexibility has been integrated into the physical, aesthetic and acoustic design, further demonstrating Energy's attention to detail and functionality. The hand rubbed high gloss piano finish is both classy and contemporary, alluding to the quality of fit and finish. Whether installed as a front, side or surround channel, the C-100 is always at ease. The quality of components used within are second to none, allowing for astonishing reproductions. Easy to drive with almost any amplifier, they are also magnetically shielded so as to not interfere with your television. Their braced MDF enclosures are rigid and resonance free, allowing the drivers to perform as intended. Even more impressive is the quantity and quality of low frequencies this speaker is capable of delivering. The C-100, ideal for any application, in any situation.

What Customers Say About Energy C-100 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black):

Sounds Great. Build quality is good.[.].
The speakers I received are not the shiny silver that is shown. You'll want to have a subwoofer for really low lows, but they sound great even without. The Energy C-100s are very clean sounding with a nice midrange and just enough bass. The cones are closer to a flat gray color and the posts that hold on the grill are actually black (plastic) and not the silver shown. They do a very nice job with music and movies. Just a warning on the product image though. They are still nice looking speakers though.
I used to sell home theater equipment ten years ago and while I was there, the Energy line was introduced into our store. It was a real pleasure to guide people to less expensive speakers and having them A/B them with speakers double the price and walk away with the Energy speakers.Fast forward 10+ years and I'm in need of a new set of speakers for my computer room. At the time, they had wonderful margins, so we sold the heck out of them. However, it wasn't that difficult because after just a week or two, we all realized that Energy offered the best speaks for their price point. I instantly sought out Energy speakers and I can still say that they offer the best quality for the lowest price. Unfortunately they don't seem to be able to compete in the marketing department like Bose and the others, so still very few people actively seek out the brand, which is a shame.For the price, look no further.
They have separate posts at the back for bi-wiring. Thy aren't the most efficient speakers, @ 87 DB 1w/m sensitivity and are reflex loaded, rear ported. These are smart looking quality built American speakers, I bought to match to my 25 x2 Watt rms system. The sound staging is excellent, and the treble is not too in your face, and will suit a large variety of music. They give a nice warm tone to music. The speakers are supplied with foam port plugs, should you want to reduce the bass volume (then they sound like most other small bookshelf speakers). I'm told these are very similar in tone to many european speakers.Very happy with these.

I wanted performance as close as I could get to the eXL-25's (and not pay a fortune to get it) and while the C-100's are weaker in bass response, they are more than adequate. I bought these speakers to replace my eXL-25 floor-standing speakers which were simply too large for the room. I've listened to many different brands and the Energy line has always been my favorite. They seem to match reasonably well with my eXL-C, eXL-R and PSB sub-woofer and all I had to do was rebalance the volume after the speakers were broken in. For the price and performance, these speakers are a buy.
