Energy 3.1e Vintage Speakers (Pair)
BASS REFLEX 8 inch 2 way speakers. These Energy 3.1e Loudspeakers are a vintage high end speaker, approximate era: 1996. The cabinets and grilles are in fair to good condition. The grilles have been redone and I replaced one of the woofers with a new old stock replacement. The other woofer that is original still works perfectly, but the foam does have a tear that I repaired. There are surround kits available for these, I have not felt the need to replace it though because the tear is only cosmetic and doesn't affect the sound quality from what I can tell.
I really don't think I will do anything with these, because honestly I don't think I can make them sound better than they do stock, unless its limited to sound deadner and rebuilding the crossovers with higher quality components and doing the surround replacement for if for no other reason than looks. Current pricing is reflective of what I feel they are worth in terms of sound quality, build and condition.
Coming soon I will add more to this listing including the factory specs.

How Do They Sound?
This is actually one of my favorite speakers and I am the original owner. I purchased them new around 1996 from a local stereo store that was an Energy dealer. They are compact, yet get down to business. They are tight, articulate, punchy and have excellent imaging and sound quality. They sound good at low, moderate or high levels. I have pushed these hard and never had them break-up, distort or sound bad. This is one heck of a bang for the buck speaker. It won't win any beauty contests, but if excellent sound on a budget is your main priority, these will get the job done nicely.
