To Kevin East,
I just wanted to express my extreme gratitude for your heartfelt review of the Energy Take Classic speaker system. I had been looking for sometime online, after saving some money up for a home-theater system within my very modest budget to replace a HTiB system I purchased several years ago to get the experience of 5.1 sound. You could not have been more precise in the review. I got my speakers today (without even being able to hear them first) along with a Pioneer VSX-820 receiver. I patiently unpacked the system and proceeded to get it set up. I got everything hooked-up and then decided to make floating shelves for the front L/R and surround speakers to let the port in the back breathe a little, all the while hoping I made the right decision and in high anticipation of hearing them do their thing when I finished.
I could not be more pleased. After a Blu-ray of Wall-E, pay TV of The Lord of the Rings and a few other movies, I then moved on to a few CDs: first, Eric Clapton's Unplugged then Kaki King's Everybody Loves You. She's an acoustic guitar virtuoso, nothing but her strumming, tapping, and intricately playing a beautiful sound. I'd highly recommend it if you still have those Takes around because she makes them shine. I was inundated with the sound and symmetry from these little speakers. It brought a smile to my face as I continued to dig into my once-forgotten music collection. They sounded so good and I'm so delighted I did make the right decision with your help. I'm not one to email much but I had to write and just say thank you.
Sincerely,
Mike Rhodes
