After receiving the Energy Take Classic 5.1 Speaker System, I found the installation with the speaker joining posts, ought to be good quality, gold-plated, all-SST screw-types. The Home Theater mag. Reviews say that bananas are permitted however on my own were too large- they’re not going to cut it.

The base sub-woofer comes with the common L-R line level, RCA type inputs, with the variable volume controller plus crossover adjustment. You will also find a 2-way phase toggle plus a 3-way power toggle . The speaker level input-plugin (no high-pass output provided) is also well supported.

One thing to consider when unpacking the components is to look at the hardware provided. Walk through each step of the assembly and installation before you jump right in, later doing the stop-go routine, and save a bunch of time, avoid any frustration.

Some is basic stuff, and rather than waste time, you may want to replace some items with better hardware, etc. Its all optional, but when it comes to speaker wiring, don’t short yourself here to save a few bucks, get the best performing or you will pay dearly on performance later.
