With this speaker, bass is a reflex

A speaker's enclosure or cabinet plays just an important role in a speaker's ability to reproduce clear, accurate sound as do a speaker's drivers. Poorly designed or constructed enclosures can resonate with the air moving at the rear side of a speaker's drivers, ultimately causing degradation of the sound you hear. Both reducing the risk of residual resonance and improving low-frequency audio output, the Energy CB5 sports a bass-reflex enclosure. Also known as "vented" or "ported" enclosures, bass reflex enclosures use open ports or apertures in the speaker cabinet to control the movement of air at a driver's rear. Control of this movement of air allows a reduction in its ability to cause distortion and resonance and also helps to extend and improve bass efficiency and performance from the woofer drivers. With the CB5, high-performance bass is a reflex.

It's got a shield!

Well, sort of. The magnetic shielding of the Energy CB5's magnets allows this speaker pair to be safely placed near other A/V components without the risk of interference or damage. This allows for more versatility in speaker placement.

Psychoacoustics — Energy is crazy about sound

Energy's passion for and dedication to the reproduction of sound has a long history. Beginning back in the 1970s, Energy participated in nearly a decade of pioneering research into psychoacoustics, attempting to identify those measurable factors listeners associate with a "good-sounding" loudspeaker. Flat frequency response, wide dispersion, and low distortion, they concluded, were the primary factors influencing a listener's perception of the realism of sound produced by a speaker. Consequently, Energy has spent the past thirty years furthering research and applying research-based principles to their engineering and manufacturing of high-performance loudspeakers for the home audio enthusiast.
