Product Description
From the Manufacturer
From the Manufacturer The C-Series is the latest generation of design from Energy Speakers, continuing a longstanding tradition of sonic accuracy. The C-Series epitomizes Energy’s talent for innovation and vision, perfectly melding technology and style. With its beautifully balanced proportions and unrivaled fit and finish, the C-Series will deliver astonishing performance, stimulating every emotion and desire.
The C-Series cabinet was styled in close collaboration with industrial designers and beautifully dovetails functional and aesthetic requirements. The curve of the front baffle, the shape of the tweeter faceplate and the radius on the cabinet contours all lend themselves beautifully to the acoustic performance of each C-Series speaker. Workmanship is second to none, as each speaker is hand painted and finished, attention to detail never before seen on a product of this category.
C-50: Small Visual Impact, Major Sound
Space at a premium? Looking for a speaker to complement your living space while making the smallest visual impact possible—without sacrificing audio performance? The C-50 is the speaker for you. Using the same composite fiberglass woofer as its larger siblings and the identical 1-inch chambered Hyperbolic TM aluminum dome tweeter, the C-50 delivers exceptional imaging and a large soundstage, along with impressive bass. By using the same drivers, the C-50 blends acoustically with any other C-Series speaker, making it perfect for satellite, surround side and rear applications
. The C-50s small size, along with the quality of fit and finish, and the sonic performance ensure it will impress any listener. A threaded insert allows the C-50 to be mounted to the wall when used with the Energy Macromount bracket, further increasing its installation options. Energy even includes port plugs, designed to compensate for on-wall or bookshelf mounting installations, an expense that demonstrates our attention to detail.
The biggest surprise from the C-50 is its bass response. Designing such a small speaker to reproduce deep bass, without sacrificing efficiency or accuracy is a remarkable feat. Energy’s engineers take it upon themselves to approach each design in a holistic manner, taking nothing for granted. This has lead to many breakthroughs—and the C-50 is no exception.
The Energy Advantage
Energy brand speakers are the culmination of over 30 years of scientific research and development in acoustics, speaker engineering and manufacturing. The philosophy of design behind every Energy brand product has its foundation in our pioneering study with the Canadian National Research Council (NRC) almost 20 years ago, which lead to incredible breakthroughs in speaker technology. Understanding how people listen has led us to three simple, yet vital factors that are the basis for the Energy brand’s speaker design and construction. These factors are flat on-axis frequency response, wide and constant dispersion, and low distortion.
Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth
Flat frequency response is the ability of a speaker to reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency dominates over any other, Energy ensures that every sound is reproduced the way it was intended, as naturally as possible.
Wide and Constant Dispersion
This refers to sound—at all frequencies—which radiates from the loudspeaker, ideally in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the listening environment. In nature, sound radiates all around us. A speaker must be able to reproduce this as accurately as possible, thus spreading the sounds we hear constantly, consistently.
Low Distortion & Resonance
While no speaker system is totally devoid of distortion or resonance characteristics—speaker systems with as much as 25-30% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at bass frequencies can still be considered "high end"—Energy consistently achieves significantly lower distortion levels in its entire line of speaker products. It's an improvement that is clearly audible.
A Constant Pursuit of Excellence
This basic Energy philosophy hasn't changed in over 30 years, yet our extensive research methodology and the available technology and materials have steadily improved, enabling Energy to continue to manufacture speaker systems that achieve outstanding performance through consistent improvements to all of these three critical parameters.
We’re constantly working on designing new and improved speakers. Our engineers and designers are diligently working to better reproduce sound in the most realistic manner possible. Years of expertise and the best measuring and testing equipment available allow us to continue to push the boundaries of sound reproduction.

Speakers that provide Energy to your sound system,
By Dakine Prescott (Arizona) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy C-50 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)
Recently I upgraded my 5.1 speaker system to the Energy C-50 fronts and surrounds along with a CC-50 and a ESW-8 subwoofer. The C-50's came through Amazon (Audio Advisors) for $70 a pair. I also found the center channel and subwoofer @ Worldwide Stereo for $79 and $99. This brought the total cost to $318 with free shipping.
Although happy with the price I am thrilled with the performance! I found the speakers did need a good 50 hour break in period to reach peak performance but once that milestone is met you are good to go. I have been an Energy fan since the early 90's and still have a great pair of Energy 3.1 speakers. Although Energy is now owned by Klipsch, I have found that the quality of materials and related sound represent a compelling value and would complement most mid price ranged audio and home theater systems. Do yourself a favor and compare the workmanship and sound of these little giants before you fork over money on an overpriced cheaply constructed pair of speakers (i,e Bose).

Excellent value,
By Mbirds (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy C-50 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)
These are very high quality. At under $80 for the pair, they will amaze you. They produce lows that are surprising given the 4.5" driver. They look and sound fantastic, and beat any similarly priced offerings I have seen from Polk. Polk is the only similar brand I have to compare, and these sound better than my Polks that have larger 5.25" drivers and cost twice as much. After purchasing a pair of these, I bought three pair of C-100's elsewhere(on sale) to upgrade my home theater.

Just WOW!,
This review is from: Energy C-50 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)
I have 4 Energy C-50's and a Center C-C50 linked to a Harmon Kardon AVR-254 Receiver. The clarity and depth of these little speakers is just fantastic. I did a bunch of research on small speakers and found many hardened Audiophiles with a love for Energy Speakers recommeding them over much more expensive small units. Pretty impressive lows for tiny speakers, getting down to 65hz with no problems.
Forget Bose junk, save your money and grab these amazing little performers then match them up to a Harmon Kardon, Marantz or Pioneer amp for a killer economy system that will blow away any similarly priced 'all-in-one' systems.
