Summary:
I bought recently a pair of Energy C-8 and I use them with a carver 400 II power amp and a phase linear 4000 preamp - probabely not the upper class but a good and well listenable equipment. CD Player is an older Camridge Audio player. I listen mainly to classical music and jazz. These loudspeakers are really very well made. They have an excellent soundstage and a fantastic sonic detail resolution. Though they are rather 2,5 way speakers (they do not have a dedicated midrange only loudspeaker), the are extremely homogenous over the whol range. The bass is more then solid, so that certain care should be taken with theit placement. Also they seem to need a power amp that has some reserve of power.
When placed a bit away from the walls they sound free and airy - the musicians are just in your room.
I dont know what else one needs to listen to good music.
I really appreciate this product.

Summary:
After reading the reviews on this model I thought I would add that to every one running these with a receiver or less than 100 watts of hi-current you are missing out. Although the efficiency rating is quite high the Energy line require current. In a in home test vs Paradigm Monitor 9''s with 70 watts of hi current I prefered the 9''s and was quite disappointed but after going to a more powerfull setup(bi-amping) the Energy really came on really showing the cabinet limitations of the Paradigm. The Energy really needed more power.Granted the Paradigm is a cheaper speaker and for the money is still a good bet. Also I find the bass to be more than enough for music to the point of being too much if not set up properly , ie: far from coners and walls. Lastly I must admit that I prefer the C6 over the 8 as it seems to have a tighter bass and the really deep bass goes to the sub anyway . Also the price paid for these is always important as they were available at big discounts making them a bargin.

Strengths:
The Energy "Sound" . Maybe not the most accurate speaker line on the planet but for real world still my fave!

Weaknesses:
slightly aggresive treble
