It's just not that simple; you have to listen for yourself and see what you like. They are all good speakers.

Audio Advisor has the RC-10's on sale for $350/pr
They have a 30 day return policy if you don't like them.

I agree that you should listen to them yourself and decide which one is better.

Greg and Audioman are correct, but seemed to miss the point that you have nowhere to go to audition. I auditioned the B25's, and to me they sounded superior to Monitor Audio BR2, and I am a MA fan. All the reviews I have read regarding them tend to back up what I auditioned.

Now, I have not auditioned the others, so I will not comment on those choices.

Saturday Audio has the B25's (maple) for $299.00/pair. If you like Monitor Audio they are also the MA clearance center for the US, and a MA dealer.

It come down to thouse 3 bookshelf speakers for my front HT.

Energy - RC-10
PSB - Image B25
RBH TK-5C

I read a lot of reviews on all of them i did not hear anyof them since im living in a city that doesn't not have any good HT stores. my room is 12x18
Now i know many of you will reccomend the energy sicne thay are more popular , also i just read a review on RBH tk-5c on audioholics and thay seem to test really well , but i did not find the anyware online to buy, still looking, and that the send im more leaning towards. the speaker sill play with HSU sub.

Im looking on any input from you guys so please help me out here

I haven't heard the RBH so I can't comment on them. Between Energy and PSB, its PSB all the way. The B25s are just a great smooth speaker providing suprising amount of bass for its size, smooth midrange, and good detailed highs without sounding harsh or grating. These speakers image capabilities are phenomenal as well.

When you get them hooked let us know how it went. The B25 can also be used as surrounds, just somewhat bigger than the B15.

you're such a fanboy:p. I have listen to both the RC10's and the B25's. However not side by side, sold by different dealers;). IMHO there's a reason the Rc's list for nearly twice as much and retail for about 50% more, but then again the B25's do rock. I hope the POSTER has a good sub because the b15's are relatively small for a 12x18 room.
Just my 2 cents

:p Fanboy?? Nah, it goes much deeper than that. :D. Out of all the speakers I audtioned here in Canada, the Image series never failed to impress me. I've heard the Axioms M50 thru to the M80s and they were good but a little too bright. I've audtioned some of the Paradigm Monitor series and found the bass not to be near as tight as the Image series. The Energies are good but they are more expensive. Geeze, I remmber hearing the Energy 22s, the ones that put Energy on the map. They were an awesome speaker. I love the sound of Totems as well but that never got mentioned. Problem with Totems is that you need a stout amp to drive them because of their 4ohm impedance and relatively low sensitivity.There a few speakers I would love to hear from Focus Audio and Gershwin but never got the chance.

I agree with you that the b15s are small for a room of that size and should be augmented with a sub. I have th eolder 1Bs and I use them as my surrounds.

hey guys the RC and image 15 are both same price on audio advisor i will be using them for about few mouths as a front set of speakers than i will get somethign larger for the front probly floorstanding and move thouse to the back. the RC and image are also have size both have 5.1/3 driver i belive

If you want Image's I bought B25's at less than Audio Advisor's price for B15's from www.saturdayaudio.com. And, I paid a higher price 'cause wanted black. They have a special on maple color, the B15's at $229.00/pr. (AA is $379.00/pr), and the B25's at $299.00/pr. (AA is $479.00/pr.). $150.00 savings on the B15's, and $180.00 savings on B25's.

Since you are willing to spend anywhere from $350.00 to $380.00 for RC's or B15's, let me suggest Monitor Audio S1 for $399.00/pr. from SA also. The S2 is $449.00/pr., but from what you have mentioned Monitor Audio S1 the one you would like. Personally I find MA's S1 to be a better speaker than Energy RC10, or PSB's B15 or B25.

Saturdayaudio always offer great deals and often better prices than AA. However, from time to time AA offer some great deals and the RC10's are just that. I will not go out on the limb and say they're are better the MA silvers(haven't heard them;)), but both are seriously good speakers and come in at less than 400.00 would cause me to scratch my head:).

thank for you input about the speakers i looked in to it and not sure about them i will read more about them. but i just might stay with psb thay seem to be good for the price and thay are about in my price range. . few mouths down the road i know i will get floor standing towers too and image line is in my price range . but thanx for the suggestion.

Let us know how it went, and the final results of your purchase...

Billy P...I auditioned both Monitor's mentioned, and for my taste they were better than the PSB's, as they were more detailed in the mid's, seemed to have the right amount of bass, and the highs were like intended, they didn't add or took away from the high's. Haven't had the pleasure of auditioning the RC10's, but my personal experience with Energy speakers is that I find them like they add to the high's or that they have too much detail, something like Klipsh, and to me it becomes fatiguing after listening to them for awhile.

Klipsch give me a break:rolleyes:!! Energy and PSB are similar in their sound reproduction. The RC10's seem to have a more refined sound, than the b25's. Can I ask which Energy have you auditioned(since you haven't heard the RC's don't make generalizations)? The Rc's are a relatively new speaker design and follow the in the footsteps of the Veritas line and IMO sound nothing like Klipsch. As a matter of fact, the only common link between the two is ownership;).

I auditioned Energy about 3 years ago, back then I only auditioned Klipsch and Energy...and as I said previously have not auditioned the RC, so, yes I'm guilty of generalizing. Regarding common ownership, I don't pay attention to that as usually these large corporations keep different engineering teams for their different brands.

Have you audition the Monitor's??? If so, how do you stack the RC against MA silvers???

Sorry, but it has been 3 yrs. don't remember the models, it was two different towers, I belive from the same Energy series.

Missed your opinion on MA silver, went back to the post and read it. MA's became part of this thread, as the clearance price from SA is very good, and might be a choice worth considering.

There is more then 1 way to judge a speaker. You can compare how models perform, without hearing them. As a matter of fact, it's more reliable to measure then hear, unless done blind.

No Thanks. I rather listen speakers before purchasing them rather than going by spec sheets. Least then I know what I'm getting in stead of interpreting what I'm getting.

If I had alot more money, I would like to try other brands such as Totem or Focus Audiom but since my budget is limited, I'll keep my PSBs. Yes I'm a fan boy of them but no more than others in here with their Axioms and Paradigmm Studio's BICs, etc. Since there are very few in here who even mention PSB, I kinda carry the torch. If you notice, I don't recommend them all the time either depending on the condition. Not my problem if you don't like it.

I've read WmAx threads about resonance. He has an in depth knowledge regarding speakers design flaws and sound characteristics that go over my head. If I had his talent I'd use those principles as well, but I don't. In the end, 3db echoes my feeling. As for affordable Chris's threads point out how to DIY, so the only issue would be talent;).

For the general person, simply listening is the best methodology that is practical in most circumstances. I can, however, often make specific suggestions regarding specific speakers with modifications and methods of tonal control that will yield the best results for almost anyone, for a minimum price range. But this is not the ordinary process of buying commercial speakers -- and is often more complex than most people care to bother.

While the correct set of measurement data is more accurate to define sound quality characteristics of a speaker when correlated with the proper perceptual research, actually executing this requires extensive knowledge of said perceptual research and how to interpret the measured data. Nor is the measured data commonly provided by most review publications enough measured data to come to a full conclusion.

I find your post very insightful and your philosophies regarding speakers intriging to say the least. However, as you stated above for a normal person simple listening is the best method which involves your ears:). I am a layman and appreciate your posts and all the work you've done helping us on the forum. I feel though that an Engineering background is warranted to make full use of what you're trying to explain. So when a new member or layman ask for advice or has a question about a certain speaker I respond in the only manner I know and that comes from using my untrained ears.

Thank you for that post, Billy p:)

Most of todays entry to mid level speakers are designed to handle both. If a speaker is musical and lends itself towards music, then IMO should handle H/T just as well:). The one exception with movies is the LFE range which you'll need a good sub for anyways, regardless of which speaker you own. I am pretty sure you will be satisfied with the PSB's. I hope you post some pictures when you've come to a decision:).

Sorry to tell you, but I bought them black, wife didn't like maple either, for $285.00/Pair from Saturday Audio. You should have asked them for a quote. I don't know if they would have included freight inside the Continental USA, if they don't you got a good deal for $299.00 from HiFi...I understand that HiFi is gray market (overstock, b-stock, open box, etc), while SA is an authorized dealer selling a-stock, I might be mistaken about HiFi; so double check. I tried to buy some Monitor Audio (RS6) from HiFi, and even though they advertise as having four pairs in stock they answered five days later after my inquiry that they didn't have any, and didn't know when they would get some, that it was an error on their website; a sign of a liquidator, not an authorized dealer. Won't even try to do business with them again.

Speakers arrived yesterday...They sound awesome!!! I have rediscovered music. This is one of the best deals for your money. All the highs, mids, lows sound as intended by the musician. Clean sounds, detail, clarity are some of the things I noticed. And imaging, wow, even though I was 100% sure that the center was not playing, I had to stand up and get close to the center channel to make sure it was not playing, sound from left and right sounded as coming from the center, then there were pianos playing in the left side of my room, and violins in the right side, and wind instruments behind them. Hearing some jazz, I could hear the musician's breath blowing into the trumpet...amazing!!! I was living in a cave with my Sony HTIB; I have seen the light. I am sure the Marantz receiver also made a huge difference.

Congrats on your purchase. I figured you were gonna fall in love with them. I'm one of PSB's biggest fan boys and simply love their sound. You will not find a speaker in their price range that will lay out a better soundstage. If you like classical music, try picking up Tchaikovsky's violin concerto in D. This piece of work is a real acid test on a speakers treble reproduction and the B15s excel here. I own the older 1Bs and have them as my surrounds while using T45s as my fronts.

Congrats again. :)

Thanks for the recommendation, I like all types of music. Last night I had a session of bluegrass; banjos sound excellent on the PSB's. Soundstage, detail, and imaging are unbelievable for a speaker in this price range ($500.00/pr. for the T45). I could hear the banjo players pick striking the strings, and on a jazz piece I could hear the trumpet soloist blowing into the horn.

My setup is similar to yours, T45 for mains, C40 for center, and B25 for rears. The rears are not connected yet, so I'm using my original rears by Sony. I will connect the B25 as mains tonight and see how they sound, if they sound like everyone tells me they do I will move them to the living room as my receiver's second zone speakers, and B15's will be ordered for rears.

I Auditioned The B&w's 805's, Paradigm Studio 20's And The Wharfedale Evo 2 10's After Going Back And Fourth, I Finnaly Choose The Wharfedales Evo2 10's. And Could Not Be Happier. I Read All The Reviews, And Comments, It Came Down To What I Thought Sounded Best. Not What Other People Thought Was Good. Make Sure You Hear What Stlye Of Music (jazz, Rock, )etc.. You Like Best On The Speakers. And Sample Of Movies Sound Tracks. Then Go With Your Gut. Any Of The Speakers You Mentioned Are Very Strong.

Finally heard the B25's as mains...Will not use them as rears, they will be in the living room connected to a tube amp, and will be used for music. These are too nice speakers to use as rears in my living room.

Obviously they have flaws, like any other speaker in this price range, or even at a higher price, but these are minor and can only be improved by getting speakers that cost more than twice the B25 price. Wonderful soundstage, crisp sound, detailed mids...Doubt there is anything better at $300.00/pr.

Anyways, what did the OP finally buy, and what is his impression????

Check with Saturday, they have unbelievable pricing on NAD. I just bought a C315BEE amp from them, for my B25's, and they were $75.00 under the very best price on the net.

Your B15's will take a different sound after some 10 hours + of break in. The boominess will go away. Even though, you mentioned that with tweeking settings has gone away.
