I have a pair of ESM-2's - looking to sell them due to space and recently replaced them with some Rogers LS2's (about 1/3rd their size - the Energy's sound really good and have held up well. The Rogers sound a lot like them or vise versa - mids on the Rogers are a tad bit more refined, but the low end on the Energy is certainly better due to their size. I was always happy with them.
