Great speakers I heard this model at a big-box home electronics store and was impressed. They stuck in my mind and when I saw them on Amazon at a far better price I ordered them immediately. They have replaced the original speakers that came with a bookshelf stereo. Same settings, same location, and the improvement in sound is incredible. Good bass, clear midrange and crisp highs. No muffled sounds or tinniness, good solid build quality. Definitely recommended.

Buy Energy CB-5 Bookshelf Speakers (Black) Now

I poured through many different speaker types before settling on these. I tried polks (t15 and tsi100), klipsch icons, Definitive Tech 800 and many others, before settling on these. I loved the definitives the most, but for my situation, the energy's were for me. I have a medium to small size viewing room in an apartment building, so I was looking to build a surround system with smaller satellites and no subwoofer. I was beginning to lose hope when I ran into the CB-5. Awesome speaker with great low end for the price. No, it won't get as low as a sub, but this has great bass for its size and you can forgo wiring a subwoofer. The rest of the range (trebles and mids) are great too. People looked at me in horror at suggesting not having a sub, but for those of us with size/sound limitations, a sub isn't ideal. When I buy my own place I'll look into a subwoofer and these will become my rear surrounds. For now, they work great as left and right mains. Remember, when looking for audio equipment, the search is have the fun. Enjoy your search folks!

This is a very solid bookshelf/surround speaker whose sound belies it's size. Bass is warm and musical, and as such works well with or without a subwoofer. Highs are accurate and extended without being bright, which is sometimes be a concern with an aluminum dome tweeter.

Basically these speakers work as advertised: they are a good choice for speakers in a small room (say, a college dorm) or as surround speakers in a system that uses other speakers in Take's Connoisseur line.

Want Energy CB-5 Bookshelf Speakers (Black) Discount?

Prior to purchasing these speakers, my home theater consisted of the Energy Take 5 Classic Pack paired with a Polk PSW505 subwoofer. I bought the Energy CB-5 bookshelf speakers to replace the smaller front speakers from the Energy Take 5 Classic Pack, so I could re-use the smaller speakers as rear / surround speakers. I couldn't be happier, and would highly recommend these; they are some of the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. The sound reproduction that comes from these speakers is simply astounding

First and foremost, I'd like to point out that in no way, shape, or form, am I an audiophile. I asked a coworker of mine, who is a self proclaimed audiophile, and he recommended these speakers to start with. They were in my price range, and I was told the quality is excellent for the price.

I have to say that I am very pleased with these speakers! This was my first step in getting better sound out of my TV, BluRay player, and Playstation 3 (along with a receiver; Sony STR-DH810) and so far it's been worth the purchase. I've only had the speakers for about one month now, but I have no complaints. They are medium range speakers, which (I think) means they can provide a good amount of bass without a sub woofer (I don't have one yet). While in general I like more bass than what I can currently get, the Energy CB-5 speakers provide plenty of bass themselves. TV shows, movies, and video games alike all have great sound to them.

I am only using them as front speakers at the moment, and with that in mind I would absolutely recommend these speakers. I have no doubt that they will continue to work well as I build towards surround sound over time.
