Energy Introduces Take Classic

August 30, 2007

Pushing Energy's 30-year legacy in acoustic research and development ever forward, the new Take Classic home theater system fuses elegant style, compact dimensions, and immense sound to delight the senses. "The Take Classic is designed to build on the success of our Take 5, a system that won over 20 awards and was regarded by Stereo Review as being `the best-sounding home theater system under $1,000,'" said Ben Burko, Energy product line manager. "I am confident that the updated Take Classic will be just as, if not more, successful." Consisting of four matching satellites that serve as dynamic front and surround channels, a center channel for crisp dialogue, and a powerful subwoofer for amazing bass response, the Take Classic features a high-gloss black finish—so it looks as good as it sounds. Standing less than 7-inches high and weighing less than 3 pounds, each magnetically-shielded satellite is a bass-reflex design with a rear-firing port. All of these speakers utilize a Convergent Source Module with a 3-inch poly-titanium woofer and a ¾-inch Hyperbolic™ aluminum-dome tweeter for a dynamic frequency range and expansive soundstage. Equipped with mini five-way binding posts for high-quality connection and offering amazing placement flexibility, these satellites feature a built-in keyhole slot and a ¼-inch – 20 insert for wall mounting. The 3-pound magnetically-shielded center channel has all the same features and technologies as the satellites, except for the fact it employs dual front-firing ports. Completing the system's bottom-end performance is a hard-hitting compact subwoofer with a front-firing port. It employs an 8-inch MPP woofer with a patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround™ coupled to an efficient 200-watt amplifier. This proprietary design eliminates surround distortion, enabling the subwoofer to play lower with greater output and fidelity. Slated for a fall launch, the Take Classic will be sold through the mass and specialty retail channels for $599 (U.S. MSRP).
