Energy speakers are great and so is that Magnat, but their potential can only be determined by you. They are made by the same people that made your Athenas. Audio Products International.

However, the price is very right!

Why would you think that newer models will be better?
How do explain to someone that there are better speakers out there if all they like is the sound of Bose? Listening preferences are not objective and thus hard to quantify.

Anyway, the best thing to do is contact the makers. They have an excellent support staff and they will be more than willing to help you out as far as manufacturing dates go.

good idea i will call the company....but its intresting you saying why would i think the older models dont sound as good as the new ones,,,i guess i would think that the new ones are made better and have better drivers and stuff....as far as bose is conserned i think they sound decent but i just think there over priced thats it

Speaker technology has not really made any great strides lately so I wouldn't worry too much about it at all.

The only thing that you need to worry about is the condition of the rubber surrounding the drivers. They should be flexible with no signs of dry rot or cracking.
