I'm also a fan of Energy speakers, at least in that price range. I'm using C6's for my rears in a HT setup. The C8's are more full range, with the 8-inch drivers. You have to be a little bit careful with amp selection with these speakers, they can be a little harsh and grainy with some amps. Overall, though, I like 'em. They're accurate, and a nice finish, too. I prefer them to B&W's of that price range and era, which is one of the typical comparisons. Of course, as with every component, ya gotta hear 'em in your own system, with your own ears, to judge.
