These are very good quality entry-level bookshelf speakers. Would work great in surround sound or stereo setup. I am using these as stereo setup in my 2-zone setup. They go pretty loud, sound crisp and clear with nice warmth. I got these on sale, so got very good price value for them.
I still havent broken them in energy recommends 50-55 hours of listening, but they sound pretty good right out of the box. Eventhough they dont go too low in frequency spectrum around mid 60 hz, they still would work pretty well in stereo setup. I am not using a sub, and they still are good enough for musicnormal tv watching with accurate bass. If you really want very low bass, obviously you need a sub, most bookshelf are not designed for that purpose. Overall quite happy with them so far.

I was looking for some small rear speakers for my surround sound system and stumbled upon these. After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance..........and Im glad I did! These speakers could do so much more than what Im using them for!

I was hesitant to buy these speakers at first but now i,m glad i did. The build quality is excellent and so is the sound. They are a little heavy so get some really good mounts if youre gonna hang them. Overall they are well worth the money, they will not dissapoint.

These speakers are smaller than the traditional bookshelfs and is a good a step up compared to the 5.1 home theatre packages providing great and full sound for a big room without compromising on the looks.
I tried out number of speakers and finally settled on this for my fronts with CC-10 center and emotiva sub-10 as my subwoofer. Very happy with the combination so far. Will get energy towers in future and move these to my rear.

After researching for 1 month on a pair of compact and inexpensive speakers, I narrowed my choices to the Klipsch WB-14 and the Energy CB5s...ive tested both speakers at a local Best Buy and was VERY impressed with the sound quality and bass the Energys produced. The Klipsch were good but felt that they were lacking a bit compared to the Energys.

Nice economical speakers. I purchased these speakers to replace my outdated, and oversized pioneer speakers I have had for 15 years. We recently renivated our family room, and these new speakers fit great on a shelf on either side of my 42 lcd. Nice sound, and just enough base to make things sound great.
