Energy speakers

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'm searching for some new towers, and I was wondering if anyone has experiene with the Energy brand. I understand they're a little more laid-back compared to some of the competition, but I have B&W DM601s, and I keep seeing comparisons between B&W and Energy. What do you guys think?

If you are doing an HT, you should think first about the center channel speaker….most use horizontal MTM configuration, which sucks no matter who does it. Look for a true 3way CC and get matched L/R towers. I suggest looking into another Canadian brand, Paradigm. The Premier line has a 500C 3way CC and a choice of towers to match.

There's no lack of competition in the speaker market secret guy, and if you think Klipsch isn't good you haven't listened to the right one.

Only the ones that said "Klipsch".

@soix -- Thank you very much for the detailed, easy to understand description of the Joseph Audio speakers.  Fortunately, the speakers new and used would be in my budget -- but, alas, the pair that are being sold at the extremely fair price of $2,800 are "pick up only", with no boxes or shipping offered, and are located in Southern California.  I'm in Central North Carolina 😣.

I will review the links you provided and very well may explore this speakers much further.  I'm very intrigued with their connection to Wally's LSA speakers, which I've read nothing but stellar reviews about.  If it is the LSA Statement 20's that you are referring to, I am extremely impressed.

Again, thanks a lot.

As alhuntmac says....the RC70s are a great find if you can get the Canadian made version .  Thats when they were made in Canada while sharing Government subsidized facilities with PSD and Paradigm   I won't repeat what was said, but I still have them with the surround and Center Channels in my living room surround system I can't make a case to change them.  Occasionally I drag them into my other rooms to play with my Modwright and Primaluna integrated.  When I purchased them I compared them to Revels, PSB and B&W I chose the Energy.  They extend deep into the 30 Hz Region with 2 sealed woofers depending on your room and are not harsh on the top end.  At this point I don't think I'll ever get rid of them.       Sound and Vision Energy RC-70
