Energy CF-70 Floor-standing Speakers

 

I first encountered the Energy line of speakers in the late 90's when I helped a friend setup her new Take 5 system paired with a Denon receiver. My recollection of the event is of some skepticism as to the sound quality given the small size of the...

As time had passed I grew more accustomed to the bright sound of the CF70’s and found myself missing some aspects of the crisper sound. My personal taste is still to a slightly less bright sound but the CF70’s will do the job in an average Home Theater...

The CF-70 offers a crisp, dynamic sound combining a detailed top end with a punchy, thumping bass ; The CF-70's bass sounds terrific over all types of material, and fills even big rooms with relative ease ; The CF-70 looks great, utilizes a ton of...

The CF-70's top end sounded a little too crisp, and the midrange overall had a closed in quality that lacked ultimate detail and affected transparency, especially with acoustic and classical material ; The CF-70 only comes in one finish (High gloss...

Worth every penny. Efficient and very elegant,

I have had these speakers for the best part of six years. They have and are still performing splendidly. The subwoofer is of course indispensable. For the quality you get the price is absolutely very reasonable. Worth every penny. Efficient and very...

Wonderful

 

This is my set up - Pioneer 1021 7.1 receiver - These 2 energy cf-70 use as main speakers - One set of micro 5 speakers ( center, surround rear and back ) - Energy S10.3 Subwoofer - Samsung 6500 blu ray player - Marantz cc55 cd player - Marantz eq 20...

Overall, these speakers are good for the price $400 a pair, unbeatable price for the sound. Depend on what receiver you have, but I would recommend that go with a good receiver, at least $500 receiver like Pioneer-elite, denon, harman kardon, marantz....

Great Speakers

 

Get them at the sale price and you wont be sorry. Test them out at best buy to see if you like the sound. One more thought...they have the ability to put two speaker pairs per each speaker and run them in bi amp mode. I have a Denon receiver, which...

Im a tech by trade and I try to research everything before I buy in order to make the most educated and cost effective purchase. At 1 9 9 a piece it was a pretty good deal. I replaced my Polk Monitor 50's and Id say it makes a difference. Im still...

none really...well they could have better feet so they would balance a little better on carpet, but if you have them next to the TV, then they definitely are going to fall over

Impressive Speakers, Incredible Value

 

Compliments to Newegg. In addition to a fantastic price they delivered these units for free to the door in 2-3 days. Total five star experience!

Before purchasing the CF-70's I already owned the Energy Take 5 Classic and CSW-10 Subwoofer (both purchased from Newegg) in a 5.1 system connected to an Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver and that sounded good already in a room of roughly 24x14 ft and 9 ft...

I also own pricey audiophile gear and have speaker cables thast cost more than a pair of the CF-70's on sale at Newegg. My overall impression is that the CF-70's are not just very impressive all-around speakers, they are probably one of the best values...

Good speaker

 

Bought a pair of these speaker for $150 each on Newegg! Can't beat that. I wouldn't pay no more than $250 for these speaker. The speakers are good, but I don't think paying $499 for these speaker is a good justice. These speakers are mediocre. It...

Not really a con, but I wish these speaker came with a horn tweeter. The dome tweeter is good, but I prefer horn tweeter over the dome. =)

Energy CF-70

 

I bought these at a very deep discount for a secondary audio system and for that, at the price paid, they're fine. These speakers need lots of room, and if you want to play them at high volume, they need lots of power. At anything above -10dB volume,...

Price paid (significant discount from list), bass is tight and reasonably deep for 6.5" drivers. Upper midrange is good. Construction seems reasonably sound for the price. My kids love how these look with the grills off.

Main gripe: the aluminum dome tweeters on these speakers can be downright HARSH on certain passages, especially at higher volumes. Also, they lack adjustable feet with spikes for carpeted surfaces. On plush carpets this can be a significant issue....
