Here's How!, Gordon Brockhouse

“That 200-watt Energy subwoofer can go quite deep, with full output down to 20Hz, where bass is felt as much as heard. This deep-bass performance adds dramatic impact to soundtracks of special-effects movies.”
“… the Energy speakers can produce bass, midrange and high frequencies loudly, without a sense of strain or distress. The sound is very dynamic: when called upon, the system can get loud very quickly, rather than sounding sluggish or compressed.”
“On both movies and music, the soundstage extended well beyond the plane of the loudspeakers, and even beyond the dimensions of my family room. That is part of what I mean about the sound being big.”
“Music was wonderfully involving as well. Whether it was Mark Knopfler singing "Sultans of Swing" or Diana Krall singing "Temptation," voices sounded completely natural, without a touch of chestiness, cuppiness or artifical sibilance.”
“This Pioneer Elite/Energy system delivers outstanding performance. It's possible to spend more and get even better sound; but for this long-term audiophile, this system is wonderfully satisfying on both movies and music.”
