I own a pair of these and they live up to their reputation. I have yet to hear a better home speaker! There is a pair on eBay right now going for $3,999US and another repaired pair that didn't meet the lowest reserved bid at $180US. Go figure!

I bought mine in Canada in 1982 and paid $1,200CAN. The hyperdome tweeter is amazing and the relatively small cabinets (mine have a dark walnut veneer) produce a bottom end of 30Hz (which is exactly what the specs claim). No sub woofer required, although I do have a Sunfire (with 2,700 watt built in amp) for the full bottom end. I power the Energy towers with a vintage McIntosh 2100 power amp and the McIntosh C35 pre amp controls all. This system rocks or whispers and these references speakers make it all work.
