2nd opinion on Energy Audissey 2+2


I was wondering if anyone out there has OWNED or has a strong opinion about these speakers, I demoed them the other day, and was impressed at the way the bi-pole didn't sound gimicky at all, and how well the bass drivers are incorporated. I've read audioreview, and most of the reviews are positive, however I'm just looking for some more .02's from the neighborhood.

Thanks.

I currently have the A3+2-1's which is the bigger brother of the 2+2's. They are a fine sounding speaker if you take the time to set them up correctly. They have been the hardest speaker to set-up that I have owned. They seem to work best in my room about 2.5feet from back wall and at least 2feet from side walls; however, it all depends on room size/shape as this is the second room I've used them in. They have pretty good bass extension (maybe more than the comparable sized veritas)the mids are wonderful and highs are just ok, to good. Not a bad speaker for the price, even with the diffuculty of set-up. Take your time, it took a while for me to get the best sound out of them.
I agree with mcspike, my 3+2's didn't wake up untill I ran them with a Parasound HCA-1000 amp. I have heard many times that the Energy speakers work very well powered by Parasound amps, I have to agree. They did sound muddied, to put it lightly, with a Sony 5ES receiver
