Attractive Energy Center Speaker in High Gloss Finish Encore 1
$110.00
Consignment piece. We sell it on behalf of its owner, and it's covered exactly like everything else we sell: inspected and serviced as required, and backed by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. The one difference: it isn't eligible for Cue It Up layaway.
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.
