Energy speakers

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

 great for metal, rock, acoustic, vocals

 love mine!

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.

Rc-70 are much warmer than b and w

if your looking for spacious , treble, highs, cymbals, they are there, but not as lively as b and w. 
 

I love mine, there  is no fatigue what so ever, mine play all day, while I’m home, no “s”  fatigue either for me. Brought up my Odyssey upgraded kismet monos, this weekend, with ld-2 preamp and udp-1(switched out) for pioneer elite dv-79avi.

     Playing new scorpions, hexx, Satan, pink cream 69, yakuza, Saxon, loudness, and the munetaka higuchi free world II

 vinnie Moore;Japan cds. thin Lizzy  (Japan box set) sound great 

the midrange is perfect for electric guitar and acoustic guitar. Smooth !

@tablejockey I have some b&w DM601s, a def tech powerfield 15+, and an Integra DTR 30.6 powering everything.

I bought a pair of Energy Veritas 2.8 back in the early 2000s. I was looking to replace a still working pair of Kef Reference 103.2 speakers. The Veritas 2.8 was a very smooth contender, without any sonic "bunions" that I could discern. Front end was vinyl (Oracle Delphi Mk 2) with Audio Research Pre/Phono and Nakamichi PA-7 at the time. They really did a nice job with scale and soundstage, without being aggressive in any way. I kept them for about 2 years, and sold them to a friend. He had a much simpler system, with less power, and kids. they blew them up...twice.

If you are going to go the Energy route, definitely look for the older models used. You'll get a great deal for the money. But ask about driver replacement, etc. before you buy. The older speakers drivers were made in Canada, and they had better QC than the MIC models of later years. 

At this price point used, check out the Proac Response 2.x or Aerial Acoustics Model 6T (Audiogon 6T). They can pull a disappearing act similar to the Joseph Audio speakers and sound beautiful, especially with tubes, but they need POWER.
