Summary:
Canadian made, at least on this continent. They sound great. Sound is very natural, not too tinny, or too boomy. Run my amp with tone controls even

Good natural sound, made nearby

Weaknesses:
Units are heavy!

Summary:
Bad treble and mid range sound. Bass is lacking . I am an Energy speaker user and all of my speakers are "Energy", I think it is the worst Energy loundspeaker. Now I am using "Energy" e:XL-25 for front speaker and I think it is much more better than Pro4.5....

Strengths:
Cheap! Now you can only pay HKD $980 for a display set.

Weaknesses:
Bad music for Stereo and surround!!!

Summary:
Used for both home theatre and music. Good treble and mid range sound. Bass is a little lacking but a good subwoofer compensates for this.

Strengths:
Well desinged, Excellent value.

Weaknesses:
Need a good subwoofer to compensate for lack of bass reproduced.

Price Paid:  $400.00 from Audio tim zagreb

Summary:
fills up room with smooth sound. good deep controlled bass and very listenable highs. they are very easy to listen for a long period. your ears will not get tired after a few hours of music from this loudspeaker for around 400$ best buy

Strengths:
simple built for better sound

Weaknesses:
lack in depth of sound stage.

Summary:
I use it for home theater and music.The speaker should be on spikes and for good imaging and soundstage about 15 deg. toe in is needed.
I'm using Yamaha AV reseiver RX-V995 to drive these speakers. TO hear it sings you would need a good source.Since I use for HT and music, I use Pioneer DVD 525 as transport and Alchemist TS-D1 for DAC.
Good quality interconnects and speaker cabels play an important part. I'm using NBS Firefly(interconnects) AFA Ares (speaker cabels)and Straightwire Silver Link for digital.Link bar on the speaker cabel binding post should be
remove and replace it with jumper cabels.The low end can sound tighter by placing the source on cones or on vibration damping board like Voodoo Board or Mana.Though I think it need better amplication.Well thats all for now!

Strengths:
Best for accoustic -guitar, jazz, new age.

Weaknesses:
Cabinet resonanse
