1980's - Energy Pro22 Series
This series was an absolute breakthrough in sonic performance. Featuring the
"million-dollar" Dual Hyperdome Tweeter, the Pro 22 Series was engineered to
better handle high and middle frequencies while eliminating resonance. Later
that year, the Energy 22 was selected to be the Reference model for the NRC and
the CBC

Energy speakers are manufactured by Audio Products International (API) of
Canada who also make Mirage, Sound Dynamics, and Genesis. The also do parts
manufacturing and assembly work for many other Canadian speaker companies
(Paradigm is probably one). As well, they make some house brands.

API's premier line is Mirage, with Energy a close second. Sound Dynamics is an
entry level line designed to compete with the likes of Paradigm.

Energy Speaker Systems has a long history of research and development in
acoustics, speaker engineering and manufacturing for over 25 years The
philosophy of design behind every Energy product has its foundation in our
pioneering study with the Canadian National Research Council (NRC) almost 20
years ago. This study consisted of a number of groundbreaking listening and
measuring procedures that pointed to conclusions focusing on the three major
parameters of loudspeaker performance:

1. Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth - The ability of a
speaker to reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner.

2. 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.

3. 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 has achieved a significantly lower "distortion
level"; an improvement that is clearly audible. This basic Energy philosophy
hasn't changed in a quarter of a century, 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.
