    Any other Energy center channel speaker match the L/R Connoisseur speakers? I have a pair of C-3 and even the C-C1 is HUGE on my tiny 27" Panasonic monitor.

    I'm enjoying my pair of c3's though they aren't connected to the best source ever because they are used in my computer rig. Sound better than my r15's though =P

    Nice write up Steve.

    Glad you are still enjoying these Energy's, maybe someday I can get out to AZ, would love to hear your rig. I have listened to only Polk for so long its been an experience for me with the Carvers. BTW, those cones you sent me have become one of my favorite tweeks.

    You're surely welcome, anytime. Glad you're enjoying the Mapleshades, good stuff--I used them when I had my Cambridge Audio D500SE, and for a short time with my CEC CDP.

    If I ever go bookshelf, the C-3's will definitely be on my short list, a great speaker! I've been thinking about getting a set for my patio rig, but I can't see myself leaving those gems outside.
