I have used these speakers for 1 month and they are awesome. I wanted a smaller speaker system so they wouldn't be so conspicuous and gaudy. I read a lot of reviews and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was concerned that they wouldn't sound very loud due to their size but these speakers really pack a punch. They sound crisp and clear and have enough bass to shake my living room even with the sub woofer on low. The high gloss finish make them look awesome so on the rare occasion I even notice them they look great. I paired them with the Yamaha rx-673 receiver and the Rocketfish Universal wireless rear speaker kit. Everything works seamlessly together and I couldn't be happier. I strongly recommend these to anyone who wants a big sound in a small package.  Read Less

I've been contemplating for a very long time with regard to how I would create a home theater system in our basement/family room. After reading countless reviews and comparisons, I decided on the RC Micro speakers coupled with a Yamaha RX-V667 receiver. Also connected is a Samsung UN55D60000SF 55 LED HDTV, a samsung BD-P1590 BluRay, XBOX 360 and a Panasonic PV-8450 VHS player. The room is not the ideal due to geometry and construction challenges, but it works and works very well.It was important to me that the sound should be heard and not visually overpowering or dominating the room. Initially I was seriously considering the Onkyo 7200 system but the size of the sub and speakers were a bit large. I then saw several favorable reviews of the Energy Take Classics that caught my attention. After looking more into the Classics and seeing the actual speakers in a store, I went to Amazon to read the reviews and saw the RC-Micro system. I was first skeptical but the more I learned, the more confident I felt that these speakers were pretty good. Unfortunately, they weren't available to listen to at local stores. However, the RC-Micros are the ideal size.When first energized, I was very impressed. The sound was really good. The bass, midrange and high tweets are clear and definitely present. I have no problem distinguishing soft dialogue mixed with the surrounding compliments of music, traffic, helicopters, etc. Although I cannot connect the rear speakers for 7.1 due to room constraints, I really don't need to. The surround sound(s) are truly amazing. I've been fooled several times wondering if someone was actually knocking at the side door.Listening to music and watching concerts are great too. I have absolutely no regrets with this selection. Although the sound affects can be controlled from the receiver, the speakers produce a clear strong sound with no desires for something more or better. I can safely say that this arrangement really makes our viewing and listening experiences much more pleasurable. I've had this system for a couple of months and no complaints so far. Now that the break-in period has passed, the sound effects are even more intense! Just watch any movie that supports multichannel sound (Master & Commander, Harry Potter, Avatar, I Am Legend, etc.). My family absolutely loves it.  Read Less
