Attractive Energy Center Speaker in High Gloss Finish Encore 1
$110.00
Energy engineered new drivers for the Encore suite rather than reusing parts — a 1-inch aluminium dome with cloth suspension over two 4-inch aluminium-polycarbonate cones, crossed at 2.0 kHz, with a port flanking each woofer. 70 Hz to 22 kHz, 89 dB, 8 ohms, up to 125 watts. Burnished ebony gloss over solid MDF, with a 3/8-16 thread on the back for a wall or stand. Excellent condition.

Energy seems to have moved the Take 5 concept to the extreme with the Encores, engineering all new drivers for the suite rather than recycling parts from other models. Removing the grille cloth from any of the speakers reveals a high quality 1” aluminum dome tweeter and a 4” diameter woofer (two woofers in the center channel speaker) made of aluminum-polycarbonate composite. This unusual material is stiff and lightweight, chosen to result in good transient response with low coloration. The drivers are closely spaced together with their rubber surrounds larger than the cabinet itself.
The Encore center channel is compact as well, measuring 15-1/2” x 5” x 7-1/2”. It follows the usual center channel arrangement of midrange-tweeter-midrange, with ports flanking each midrange driver. The tweeter is set higher than the midranges, and all of the drivers are closely spaced. The Encore speakers are finished in a “burnished ebony gloss,” resulting in a clean, modern look.
Around back, there is more good stuff: 5–way gold-plated binding posts, and center threaded mounting socket for potential wall or stand mounting.
The Energy Encores exude style and class. The gloss finish and the silver speaker baffle look great in any contemporary living room or listening area. Their compact dimensions and dual front ports allow easy and optimal placement in any room where space is at a premium. Because they do not dominate a room, this system is one of the most spouse-friendly systems around.

Energy Connoisseur CC-10 Centre Channel – 92dB, 200W
Tweeter and woofers sit as close together as physically possible — Energy's Convergent Source Module — so they behave as one source and hold the balance across a wide seating area rather than one chair. Dual 5.5-inch woofers on the patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround, a 1-inch hyperbolic aluminium dome, 92 dB and up to 200 watts, rear-ported to 60 Hz. The grille is not included. Condition very good.
Yamaha NS-C90 Center Speaker – Dual-Angle Tilt, Made in Japan
The cabinet is asymmetrical on purpose: flip it over and it tilts the other way, aiming up at you from a low shelf or down at you from the top of a cabinet. Sealed rather than ported, so it needs no rear clearance. Two full-range drivers, nothing crossing in the vocal band. 6 ohms, 50 watts nominal. Built in Japan; very good condition.
Paradigm Reference LCR-450 — Made in Canada, High Gloss Black
A Canadian-built Reference monitor in a high gloss black we have not had this model in before — the line of this era usually turns up in black, light cherry or dark rosenut. Sealed MTM design with Paradigm's pure-aluminium dome tweeter, and it works as a centre or as a left or right. Excellent, with its original box.
