Energy Take 5.2 5-Piece Surround Sound Speaker System, White

The Take 2.2 come in pairs, and were designed as left / right, front, rear, or side effects speakers. The Take1.2 and 2.2 allow mixing and matching to build 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 systems. The Take2.2 is also great in pairs for music in the office, den, dorm room etc. Energy virtually invented the Sub/Sat speaker category when it launched the Take Family. The Take 1.2 is a single speaker designed to serve as a center speaker, front or rear. In Summary - The Take system, plus a good quality subwoofer (the Mirage NanoSub is a great match), is the ideal package for the music and video buff with a tight budget and a taste for high-end sound. The Take 5.2 is a package that includes four white satellite speakers (Take2.2) and one black center speaker (Take1.2). You’ll have a compact, extremely affordable, high-performance system that delivers a smooth, warm balance that invites extended listening. There had been small speaker sets on the market prior to Take, but none that could come close to competing with the sound quality of larger, more expensive bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. They’ll look great integrated with virtually any decor. With their correct timbre and tonal balance, treble detail and integration, and impossible-for-their-size dynamics; the Take family redefines what you can expect from a speaker system at these price points, and is still considered the benchmark against which other small speakers are judged. The fit and finish of the Take product is outstanding with its high gloss finish that looks far more expensive than the price tag would imply.

The entire system's audio performance is seamless and crisp, with perfect timbre, tonal balance, and accuracy. The entire system is backed by a generous five-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box Four satellite speakers, center-channel speaker, user's manual. The center speaker is far smaller than many comparable units, with a black-finished chassis that measures a mere 11 inches wide and 4.25 inches tall. It performs particularly well when teamed with an Energy subwoofer, which is designed to round out the low-frequencies in a 5.1-channel setup.

Listeners will also appreciate the sleek design and compact size of each speaker. Plus, the speakers are magnetically shielded against video interference, so they won't distort the TV picture regardless of where they sit.

Additional features include five-way binding post speaker connections, which ensure a high-quality signal transfer; a frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz; a nominal 8 ohm impedance; and a recommended power handling of 15 to 100 watts RMS. Whether you're listening to a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, a low-budget indie, or your favorite jazz CD, the system produces warm, enveloping audio with a big sound.

The satellites each boast a 3.5-inch long-throw homopolymer/aluminum cone woofer with a rubber surround to handle the low and mid ranges and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter for the highs. Users can even mount them on a wall or in a ceiling corner to fully maximize the installation possibilities. Energy has further refined its efforts on the second go round, resulting in the Take 5.2 speaker system, which includes four satellite speakers (two each for the front and rear channels) and a center-channel speaker for the dialogue. Energy helped redefine the surround speaker category when it first launched the Take family, which combined the small size of traditional satellite speakers with an audio performance that rivaled far larger, more expensive bookshelf and floor-standing systems. The center speaker, meanwhile, distinguishes itself with a second matching woofer. The white-colored satellites, meanwhile, check in at 4 inches wide and 6.75 inches tall, making them ideal for rooms with limited space.
