It's the horn tweeters They are what make Klipsch "bright" and in your face; not too many speakers use horns and it seems that you either like them or don't. A speakers frequency response has nothing to do with the speakers sound, be it warm, neutral or bright, it just shows the range...

I had the entire Audition Series.... And I prefered the F-1 over the F-2, in fact I sold the F-2's but keep the F-1's. The F-2's just overpowered my listening room and were a little to large.

All of mine were made in Canada! I went ahead and purchased these speakers online and they arrived last Friday; ALL were made in Canada. I am using 3 of the C-C3 LCR 3-way speakers for the front and a pair of the C-3 for surounds - it sounds unbelivable, the mids and highs are outstanding and...

I just upgraded my Athena's too I really liked their sound so I stayed with API and just purchased some Energy Connnoisseur's. The Athena F-2's were too big and the B-2 was too small, the F-1's worked out very nice but I needed to go to with a large Bookshelf for WAF and lack of room for...

When will they be available? Thanks for the reply! I asked Energy this question and they wrote me back saying that this Series was discontinued and hard to find, he pushed the new Refrence series but made no mention of a new release of the C-series as was explained in the article you posted...

Is the origional Connoisseur Line being replaced with the new Refrence Series? I am thinking about using three C-C3 "center channel" speakers for my fronts and either the C-R3's or the C-3 for the rears and I am having a very hard time finding the Connoisseur's on-line. Has anyone ever...

Athena uses "Teteron" tweeters I agree they are a bit brighter than silk. Teteron is a "synthetic silk" and is impervious to moisture so it will not change over time and I guess that is a good advantage, expecially if you live in a high-humidity area like I do. As far as the "Metal Drivers"...

I have the Athena Set you are looking at And I have been real pleased with them, expecially since I bought them when they were changing the styling and saved a bundle. I am also running them with the Yamaha RXV-1500. I bought the entire Audition Series so I have been playing around with...

What about Brazilian Style? Getting ready to marry one and hope she can show me a thing or two! :D

Thanks for the replies, going to try Ebay I have been keeping an eye on their refurb store on Ebay and they have some really great prices! I now wish I had gone here first before I bought my Yamaha; I have no problem with refurbed equipment when its done by the company that makes the product...

Harman Kardon AVR's I have been leaning towards HK for my second setup but do not know much about them. I will be using Athena Audition Series speakers for this receiver and thought the HK would be a little "warmer" than my Yamaha. What is with their "Digital Receiver" series; are they...

I currently have a Yamaha 1500 that only allows a single Crossover Setting for all speakers. My front speakers go down to 35 Hz , my Center 55 Hz and my surrounds go down to only 80 Hz. I currently have all of my speakers set to small, LFE / Bass going to subwoofer only and have to set the...

The AS-C1 will be cheaper but.... The Bic center channel, with the Ed Frias modification, is supposed to be one of the best center channels around and has a small cult-following. I was thinking about using the Bic CC with my Athena F-2's because they overpowered the C-1 center channel. Others...

I have been using Blu-Tack to “de-couple” my bookshelf speakers from the metal stands they sit on. I just placed an order from AudioAdvisor for another pair of Energy Stands and they are out of Blu-Tack and I have not been able to find it locally. What does everyone else use for their...

Good Question Jeff! Why is it? I think Speakers are like a fine peice of furniture and enhance the room. Now I had some big athena B-2's mounted on my back wall and I did not need a woman to tell me that it looked really bad, but the Energy C-ST speaker stands turned the B-2's back into a...

I replaced all of my Bose with speakers that cost less than Bose And now I am REALLY hearing my music collection for the first time; I had no idea what I was missing. I bought Athena Audition series; started off with a pair of floorstanders and a center channel and then Athena made some...

Good Question Parker I have wondered this myself; why not just pick up some nice drivers and replace the cheap ones? The cabinet is not the weak link in this speaker, and for a couple of hundred more wouldn't you have a really nice speaker?

I knew a EE from a Ivy Leauge University.... And he hooked up MY VOM to the hot wire on his cars coil with the meter set way to low- sparks & smoke and ruined my meter! :eek: Didn't want to listen to a "CS" - I have a few of those fancy smancy letters next to my name and they mean nothing in...

I have already made my Raid! I now have two of every speaker in the Audition Series, a nice setup for my living room and bedroom with a pair to spare. Used the Energy C-ST stands for the B1 & B2 bookshelf speakers - look & sounds awsome.

Call all of the Best Buy stores in your area I would highly recomend the Athena F-1's, I picked up a pair a BB for $98 each and was very impressed with them. I also have the F-2's and they have a little more bass, but not much. BB is selling the F-1's for $98 ea., the C-1 center channel for...
