Energy speakers

Consider a pair of Coincident Triumph Extreme monitor speakers.

Super easy to drive, so they don't need to be played loud to be heard, & for a monitor they go pretty low. You get it all without upsetting your neighbors.

Frequency Response: 45 hz - 35 khz (+/- 3 db).
Impedance : Flat 8 ohms
Sensitivity: 94 db @1M - 1Watt

I got into Energy way back when they were producing perhaps their landmark model, the Reference Connoisseur 22 - so good that I haven't been able to bring myself to sell them 30 years later.  I haven't heard anything that sounds better from them, made after that.

My first pair of good speakers were Energy Pro 22s. A very nice speaker for the $$ in my books. One of the best pair of speakers I’ve ever owned were the Energy Veritas 2.8s.

They could really energize a big room and had a nice slightly warm left of neutral presentation.

Stereophile were a fan too, back in the day:

I bought RC50 years ago because my DCM Timewindows we're being repaired and I needed some cheap but descent speakers . These babies surprised me with their sound and will stay with me until I replace them with Klipsch RF 7 .I wish I have bought rc70 instead for even better sound ...

Rc-70

amazing speakers. 
 

rolled off at 600hz

best. I’ve heard in years!

the rc-10 bookshelves are amazing!

 The rc-line is great.

veritas have more emphasis on tweeter, giving more soundstage.

rc-70 are great.

mine are powered by McCormack, sunfire, and Odyssey,

I switch out amps often.

recordings are , good in good out etc. 

 I love mine, as I don’t like harsh treble.

warm and amazing, metal, and acoustic guitar shine.
