Those are not very good speakers. They may be worth the money, but don't buy these thinking you're getting a real pair of Energy speakers, we kissed that goodbye when they were bought by Klipsch.
Energy hasn't made a speaker that I like in several years, and what a shame it is. -
Too bad...but may be a good buy for someone on a budget just getting into HT.

Most Energy speakers use some kind of Alum dome tweeter. These are a soft dome. I don't believe Energy even offers one of those.
Interestingly, one of the reviews on newegg seems to indicate that this is not "truly" an Energy speaker:
These are a rebranded pair of Jamo speakers (which I own); Energy recently acquired Jamo. They sound great, especially for the incredibly low price. The mid-bass is a bit boomy, and there's not really a huge deep-bass extension, but overall, the sound signature is quite clear and smooth.
I suspect this guy is right and Klipsch is **** around with their offerings! More sales for Polk!!

I agree witih the newegg review, I think this is likely a rebranded Jamo speaker who Klipsch has also purchased. it looks a lot like their S4XX series speakers.Main 2ch -
BlueSound Node->Ethereal optical cable->Peachtree Audio Nova 150->GoldenEar Triton 2+
TT - Pro-ject Classic SB with Sumiko Bluepoint.
TV 3.1 system -
Denon 3500 -> Dynaudio Excite 32/22 -
Looks like you nailed it... identical, except about half the price...I agree witih the newegg review, I think this is likely a rebranded Jamo speaker who Klipsch has also purchased. it looks a lot like their S4XX series speakers.

I don't know what's worse, Energy or Jamo.
What a clusterf#$k Klipsch has managed to make out of all their company acquisitions. They've ruined some otherwise great brands -

2 weeks ago at the CES 2012, Klipsch announced they've officially killed off Mirage as a speaker brand.
Klipsch itself was purchased by Audiovox about a year ago....and Audiovox ran 2 of the most iconic speaker brands, Acoustic Research (AR) and Advent, into the ground before its purchase of the Klipsch Group.
I am predicting Energy will be gone as a speaker brand within the next 3 years, leaving only Klipsch (for the more expensive models) and Jamo (for the less-expensive models). -
Very probable.Too bad because there was a time when API and it's Mirage ,Energy divisions had some real engineering clout and were developing some inovative and good sounding speakers.I am predicting Energy will be gone as a speaker brand within the next 3 years -

That's what happen when a company was run by people who were interested in producing quality, yet affordable, speakers. In my opinions, Audiovox/Klipsch is more interested in sku numbers and how many boxes can be shipped. -
Yeah looks like the bean counters have assumed control and peddling those Chinese boxes.In my opinions, Audiovox/Klipsch is more interested in sku numbers and how many boxes can be shipped.
