Looks like the Energy brand is having it's "moment."
I had a pair of RC30's year's back. To clarify the comment made about their pedigree:
They were MIC(made in China) boxes-good, price point value boxes-nothing more.
The RC line was MIC. Energy speakers made in the 70's-80's were Canadian.
Like most companies, the only way to offer competitive product is go MIC.
baritone1898- perhaps mentioning your budget and associated gear might be more useful for suggestions.
