As one of the very fortunate members of the original NRC (National Research Council), the founders of Energy Speakers were involved with some of the earliest research on psychoacoustics, which lead to incredible breakthroughs in speaker design. Understanding how people hear and listen has lead us to three simple, yet vital factors that are the basis for Energy Speakers design and construction. These factors are:

1. Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth
   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 based on the way it was intended, as naturally as possible.

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. 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, in all directions.

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 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.
