Anyone Compared these to the Engery Take Classics?

I would say the quality of both definitive and energy are comparable. That being said I would choose the set that is at the price range that you can afford best. They both are quality speaker companys.

Dear Thomas,Thanks so much for your inqiury. Speakers are such an individual choice--both the Energy and Definitive are excellent choices. Definitive satellites may be a tad larger and a little fuller sound, but everyone's ear is different! Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I think these sound better than the Bose AE2s but are not as comfortable (the comparison is based on sale price since both are within the same range). These are pretty easy to drive using a portable device and the Bose will need a portable amp to get the sound quality comparable to these (but with lesser pronounced bass). The build quality of this far superior-the AE2s are plagued with cheap touches, down to the carrying pouch.

I have the Polk TSi400's. Doing a side-by-side sound comparison is virtually impossible anymore since few if any stores will carry both speakers you are considering like these. I have seen the Pioneers before and will say that the Polks are much more expensive looking. The Pioneers have gotten favorable reviews in the audio publications however. I have zero regrets about buying the Polks and I paid more than the current selling price.

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

They are in my opinion the exact same. I use the TSI 400's with a CS 10 center and a Polk 10" sub, and Polk in the back, and an Onkyo head unit. The TSI's have a great mid and highs and are said to have great bass(I keep my sub at tolerable levels). The bass coming from the TSI's and sub is incredible!! Movies or music, they rock!!The specs are basically the same but the TSI's are "newer" with piano finish and such. I am very happy with them!!!

I believe I did that in my review. Sol Tracks HDs are a little punchier, but these are much more balanced. Still prefer the Tracks HDs though, they're just so much fun to listen to. These have less "soul."

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal.

Hi,I got the Energy take classic and Im very happy with those. Usually better speakers have more powerful magnets, and are wooden made, hence the weight of those would be higher. This is how I added yet another factor to choose by, hope this helpsAviv

Have not compared these. Still feel the way the posts insert into the earpiece is weak and prone to break(both sides broke on my daughter's set). We replaced this headphone with the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear ($230)and the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H6 ($399) and have been happy with both. Hope this helps.

My request is similar. Not a lot of videos, mostly music composes my collection. Does a classic have good sound quality?

As I don't have the other model to compare, so I can't really say. But I do like base on my music and I am happy with these. The Extra Base ones were an option for me too, but I went for these instead. I guess it is a matter of personal choice. These ones seem to have a great build quality and should last longer, which is why I went for them.

Don't know, personally. ... but I've heard the kickers have more bass. The pioneers have pretty decent bass and really good clarity. The kickers weigh quite a more, comparitively, with a bigger magnet, hence the bass. That's all I really know. Hope it helps.

There are some review sites that claim the sound to be better on the 451, but I discern any difference. I will say that when I compared, the 451 were straight out of the box with very little burn in time while the 450 had considerable burn in time so maybe another comparison will yield different results.

The 301's are 3 inches deeper the the 201's, height and width are about the same. This translates to a much richer/deeper listening experience. The 301's project much better than the 201's. I own both, spend the extra money and get the 301's. You won't regret it.

Hardware wise they are the same. Looks and Audio presets are slightly different.

Kind of an outdated discussion, since Klipsch has updated the Quintets to a new "IV" model, but it's worth pointing out that the Take Classic speakers are much less efficient than the Quintets and present a greater challenge for an amplifier to drive.
