Does anyone know how this speaker compares to the Energy Take Classic II? Thanks

I using the micro-energy and I am very happy with the performance. The base is very strong and the speakers are very clear. The micro look better than the energy take classics and produce similar sound.

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

I own polk monitors 30 slightly smaller 5 1/2 woofer but 1 "tweeter, from either bookshelf bass will be lacking, these two are close but the primus 163 imo is better very nice sound it is a large bookshelf, solid, heavy nice grill. I really like the primus 163, the primus are a great speaker for the price I have compared far and wide you can't beat the quality for the cost. set up is 2 363, p351 and 2 163 and a f 12 sub power is emotiva fusion 8100 and xpa 3

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy

I don't know about the Yamaha NS-SP1800BL system, but my Yamaha NS-BR300/NS-B285/NS-SW280 system is probably the biggest $450 mistake that I ever made. I've had it for a month now and I still can't get it to sound really good regardless of what I do with it. I do know that I'm done screwing around with it. I've read enough in this CNET product review to know that I'll probably replace the Yamaha system with the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system within the next couple of months. Good luck with your search.

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.

Hey HuyI'm not exactly sure why but it could be that this is an older model of the same speaker. Usually if the same model is on sale it is from last or previous years. I hope that this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.Thanks Jane H.Dogfunk Gearhead

It's a bit smaller all around, a smaller speaker and much less power. It's still amazingly loud, just not like it's older brother. The lower power also lets you run it off an external battery pack. For reference I own both.

Get the plus. You can decide later on to purchase a second one to link with it. Totally worth it. I have a classic as well and the plus is newer model and sounds better. Its a little bigger and louder, and longer battery life.

I can't speak for the ENTIRE RC-Micro series, but I happen to have the Energy Take 5 Center Channel & the RC-Micro Center (not in the same setup of course) and I can say that the RC-Micro has got a better build than the Take Center Channel. In fact, I substituted the Take CC WITH the RC-Micro because it handles volume WAY better. But again, there's a whole thread on this question on www.avsforum.com

I've never compared the two sorry): but this speaker I've purchased has done wonders! Very loud and sounds great without being obnoxiously too big. Best part is I call it my portable Bluetooth speaker and bring it everywhere with me haha

The JBL On Stage Micro II Speaker System is great. I keep it plugged in all the time so it will always be charged when I need it. Great sound, also.

I went to JBL's Website and compared the white and black On Tour speakers. They were exactly the same. I think the reason the white model is more expensive is because it matches the ipod in color. Maybe they think ipod users would be willing to pay more to match their system.

I don't know anything about the ones you mentioned but I do know that I'm very impressed by my Definitive Technology Center speaker. The sheer weight of it is impressive and it sounds fantastic. I'm very happy with the purchase and I got it on sale as well. It's well worth the expenditure.

Hi Rick, I would go with the EP-4000 over the iNuke any time I can. Of course there is also always the Seismic Audio Epicenter 5202 and Magnitude 2400 ;) The Epicenter is the closest power rating of any of these 4. The Magnitude is more powerful for more head room, but you can overload the speaker with that much power. The quality difference with these guys comes down to damping factor. The EP is &gt;300, but the Epicenter and Magnitude are &gt;400 for increased clarity. The iNuke has a lot of "power rating" but doesn't give the better performance.

Sincerely, I don't know how it is the larger one speaker but I can say that the MINI one is amazing, the sound is fantastic and it reach very high sound. Thanks to his small dimension, you can take it in your pocket and use it in each situation! Definitely I suggest it to everyone!
