Very good deal on the CF-30, better than the canada day deal. I have those speakers and they sound very good for the price. They do have a low sensitivity and are more laid back sounding than let's say polk or Klipsch speakers.

Excellent speakers for a solid budget home theatre. It's a shame the CF-50 are not 200$ or less, which would have been an even better deal.

I've had the CF-50s for about 6 years now and I love them. Great sound -- much better than comparably priced Polks (I'd bought a pair of the Polk RT-10s I think and returned them after a week because it sounded a bit muddy). And I can't stand the shrillness of the horn tweeter on the Klipsch towers.

Thumbs up to Energy.

RC 70 for $161.99 is an even better deal, I'd say. http://tempestaudio.blogspot.ca/2011/10 ... eaker.html
Not available online, though: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/ene ... 2f20d3en02

I have cf-50 and I am very happy with the for the price.

That is an awesome deal but not in stock so not much good.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the Take20 bookshelf speakers? Also on special for 100$ a pair at BestBuy.

I'd like to shrink my current pc speakers a little, they're old Aiwa mini stereo speakers.
These bookshelfs may later on turn into the start of my own do it yourself home theatre.

Edit: Also, would anyone know the resistance of these speakers? My Aiwas are 4ohm (I think) and only being driven by a buxget Lepai 2020.

do the cf-50s have enough bass for music, without a sub?

Good enough for me but I don't like too much bass in music. Because of that I actually listen to music on a pair of Verita V-Mini more than CF-50.

is 180 each a good price? do they ever go lower.

It was $125 on sale but that was before $ tanked.

That price is insane. I paid $300/each and thought that was a good deal.

LOL how is shipping free when it is $50 more than in-store?

Don't worry you got a great deal!

I'll sell you my brand new $400k house for $50k. Insane deal. I have none in stock though!
