Oh man, Im also stuck trying to make this decision. And I think Klipsch owns Energy by the way...

neo 815 is a great system. It rivals systems at twice the price. lite weight and easy to handle as well. easy to mix with and extreme spl for smaller venues . by comparison the b series is nice but not the strongest in the line up. the neo will compare to QSC K series but with stronger bass. hope that helps

I have had the chance to listen to both of them, I would definitively recommend the Energy Micro, better sound when compared to the classic, check my review of these set, also take a look at the pictures, I have side by side comparison of both sets.

I just bought the Sony 920 to go with a Klipsch Quintet III 5-speaker surround system and a Polk PSW110 subwoofer. I am VERY happy. It's the best sound I've ever had. The Quintet III's are on the low end for power and price, but they are still outstanding speakers.

I've never compared them, but the Logitechs rock. I own both the Z623s and the Klipsch Promedia 2.1s, and the Logitechs are noticably better, especially on the bass end. The z623s offer 330 watts of peak power (200 watts RMS) and a 7 inch woofer, so be prepared to get plenty of complaints in you're in a dorm. :)

You got me. I just tried the tour buds vs a set of klipsch buds. The tour were perceptibly better than the klipsch but not worth a hundred dollars more.

I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony. My primary speakers are Athena 125 watts per speaker, each containing a woofer, subwoofer & tweeter. I have had these Cerwin Vega VE5M speakers for about six months now, and am very pleased with the quality & sound. Although they sound great alone, I use them in conjunction with my Athenas & the increase in sound range is incredible. Although I'd highly recommend the Cerwins alone, with systems like ours, they are designed to increase the sound range, and they do the job! your system will sound twice as good if you add these to your existing speakers (although you might find they out-class your Yamahas!) -Good listening-Will I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony.

Both amps are nice and both are 7.1 vs the 5.1. Can't imagine them not having an option to set up for 5.1. Or you could buy two more satillite speakers for it. But the klipsch speakers are amazing sound! You won't hurt the speakers if you hook up to the 7.1 if that is your concern.

I have the original Heresy 1 speakers from the late 70's and the klipsch reference series is a very close match in timber for klipsch heritage speakers like the heresy short of another heresy. If you have a small to medium size room the klipsch rc-42ii works just fine that's what I have with my heresy 1 speakers along with rb41ii bookshelf speakers for surround. If you have a large room go for the bigger RC-52ii. The RC42ii may be small but it packs a good punch for its size although you should set it for small on your receiver. I set my crossover point at 100Hz

I'm not too sure how they compare to the Polk audio but I do know how they compare to the Energy Take Classic, and these out performe the Energies by leaps and bounds!!! The sound that come out of these are AMAZING!!! The only issue I could see having with these would be the size but with big speakers come BIG clean sound!!! I do not think you will be upset with these.

Definitely! That's the exact combination I've been using for 4 years now. I'm not an "audiophile" or anything, but this system suits me very well. Powerful bass, pretty easy setup.

Used or new the altek landing VS_4121 speakers are my favorites. They are a smaller 2-1 setup with a Very good sound . Better than the 4122s.

Klips in my opinion are overpriced speakers and if you want clear highs and descent bass I will strongly suggest that you try definite technology. Buy then from a store that you return them if you are not pleased. Remember speaker placement is critical specially with outdoor systems.

The Energy Elite has better bass and clarity than the polk. When I used to work at Magnolia Home Theater in BestBuy, we would sell these sounds bars over the polk's in a demo every time. If you had to compare this sound bar to another one, it would be Bose not Polk.

I called Energy support to get opinion on which one is better. In support person's opinion, Take Classic is little better as the speakers are little larger and fill the room (with sound) little better.

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

I went to BB to listen to the Klipsch with a variety of different receivers and I would say go with the Energy RC micro's. I think they sound much better and it's odd since they are the same company. I paired my speakers with the Onkyo sr 507 and its sounds great.
