Difference between Energy 22, and Reference 22?

1. Thicker cabinet walls strengthened with ten 1’’ thick braces.
2. Internal angles which are different from one another to eliminate standing waves inside the cabinet.
3. Special port arrangement in the speaker stand for further extended bass response.
4. All parts are matched to tolerances between left and right speakers, ensuring outstanding soundstage re-creation.

Thanks Brf.

the Ref 22 is on my list of 3 pieces I want to find---

have you located a pair??

many thanks

there were a number of different 22 speakers--according to energy's website, the original pro 22s date from 1982 and evolved into the connoiseur 22 and then the (late 80's) 22 reference connossieur. there was also a 22.1, 22.2, etc. to my knowledge they all had different drivers. as noted above, the "pro" models had different design features than the consumer models. a good audio friend of mine swears by the 22 reference connossieur (RC) as an all-time great.
