A compact speaker set for a flat panel TV room that adds a powered subwoofer to small satellites. Only speakers are listed in the set, so plan on a separate receiver to run the system.

Overview
Energy builds the Take Classic around small satellite and center speakers that share a woofer and tweeter source module, paired with a powered subwoofer for the low end. The glossy black cabinets suit a living room built around a flat panel TV.
Movie fans with limited space get full surround from small cabinets, with a powered subwoofer carrying the bass. No receiver is listed in the set, and the spec sheet contains odd entries such as Bluetooth and a balanced armature driver that the description never backs up.
Who it's for
Apartments and TV rooms where large floor speakers will not work are the target, as long as a receiver is already on the shelf. Shoppers who want one box with streaming built in should look at a soundbar.
Pros and cons
- Powered subwoofer with front-firing port
- Matched drivers across satellites and center
- Glossy MDF cabinets look tidy
- Long parts and labor warranty
- No receiver included in the set
- Mounting hardware not listed
- Spec sheet lists doubtful Bluetooth support
Performance notes
Sound depends on the receiver driving the satellites and center, and on crossing them over to the powered subwoofer so the small woofers are not asked for deep bass. Placement matters, with the front-firing port aimed into the room and the satellites around the seating position.
