Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy a rich sonic experience whether listening to music CDs or DVD soundtracks with this pair of Energy eXL-15 two-way bookshelf speakers. Poised at the intersection of high fashion and high tech, the speakers employ Energy's proprietary tweeter, woofer baffle, and cabinet technology to virtually eliminate distortion, producing crisp, accurate sound that precisely reflects the recording. Each speaker boasts a 5.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene cone woofer with a nitril rubber surround and a molded Spherex copolymer basket that eliminates the "ringing" common to many models. Meanwhile, each 0.5-inch aluminum dome tweeter features a cloth suspension that produces a superb transient response, along with a tuned Ultrasonic Acoustic Filter (UAF) that optimizes dispersion and protects the ultra-light dome. The end result of the driver technology is natural highs, rich midrange tones, and deep, musical bass.

Of course, modern speakers need to look as good as they sound, and the eXL-15s excel in this area as well. The speakers are enriched by a bold, slim cabinet with a white finish that easily integrates into any home environment. Adding to the cabinets' value is the thick medium-density fiberboard (MDF) construction, which features Energy's Interloc 360 bracing system to reduce resonance and improve bass performance.

To enjoy the best home theater results, listeners should consider teaming the eXL-15s with other models in the eXL series, as all the speakers are timbre matched for audio integration. Units such as the eXL-25, eXL-26, or eXL-28 floorstanding models make great front speakers, while the eXL-C or eXL-C2 can handle the center channel. Plus, all eXL speakers are magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can locate them near the TV without distorting the picture. In addition, all eXL series models have 8-ohm impedance, making the completely compatible with high-quality A/V receivers.

Additional technical specifications include a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, recommended power handling of 15 to 100 watts, 90 dB room efficiency, and a crossover point of 2.5 kHz. The speakers, which feature five-way binding post connections for the best possible sound, measure 6 by 10 by 9.25 inches (W x H x D) each and are backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

    1 out of 5 stars Too bad I can't give negative stars. Don't waste your money on this overpriced, poor excuse for an electronic translator. .......2006-07-29

    I bought an ES800 from Ectaco. It's a color device; that's one of the nice things about it. If you paint a pig blue it's still a pig. Believe me, the ES800 is a pig! Allow me to explain. On the Ectaco site it's advertised as great for travelers, language learners, etc. I speak Spanish almost daily and have been complimented by native speakers. As one who taught Spanish for 30 years, I was appalled to see just how poorly the ES800 translates even common words and phrases. Examples: 1."tan...como" is used in making comparisons. It means "as...as", ES800 translates it as "a...as". 2. "dar a luz" means "to give birth". ES800 translates "dar a luz a un niño" as "to be brought to bed of a boy" rather than "to give birth to a son, or male child". 3. ES800 translates "usted tienen" as "they have". "Usted" changes the subject to "you" rather than "they", besides "usted" is singular while "tienen" is plural. 4. "a" which is a preposition meaning "to" or "at" is translated as "and" and is labeled a conjunction. "Y", and occasionally, "e" mean "and" in Spanish, never "a". 5. "Gumbo" is translated as "dialecto hablado en Luisiana" ( dialect spoken in Louisiana ). While this is a tertiary meaning, the most common translation, known by most people "a type of soup made with okra" is NOT given. Thus the meaning is useless in real life situations. I found many more errors; I finally got tired of looking. If you depend on this while traveling or learning a language, you're going to be quite surprised how poorly you understand and are understood. I contacted Ectaco. Their reps claim that there are no errors, as if denying the truth makes it so. Beware the 7 day limit on returns; other reputable companies which sell similar devices offer a 30 day initial return policy. Ask yourself, and Ectaco, why they offer only 7. Spend your money on almost any other brand of electronic dictionary, even one that costs $50-$100, and you'll get more for your money. Flashy paperweight.
