Have a pair of rosenut Energy RC-Mini bookshelf speakers and a matching rosenut RC-Mini center channel for sale. I'm selling these as a 3.0 set only.

I am the 2nd owner of the Mini's. There is a very tiny dent in the tweeter of one of them. I spoke with Energy tech support and the tech felt that it was a non-issue provided I could not notice any audible differences in the speakers. He felt that it was more cosmetic than anything.

While I imagine it's possible there could be a minor difference in the measured frequency response, I could hear absolutely no difference between the highs of the 2 speakers. I did inquire about a replacement tweeter, which would run roughly $25 or so shipped, but felt no need to replace the tweeter since I couldn't notice anything wrong with the sound.

Otherwise, the Mini's are in excellent shape. They spent much of the time in my possession boxed up. The plan was to use them as surrounds in my living room, but given the location of my couch up against the rear wall, I decided to stick with 3.1 for now, and maybe get a pair of bipole speakers down the line.

The Mini Center was purchased from Vann's about 2 months ago or so. It is in excellent shape cosmetically and functionally. There's a small spot where the tape (from packaging the speaker) was touching the veneer when the speaker was packaged, and it left a bit of sticky residue...but it's not noticeable to look at, and there is no damage to the veneer.

I have the original packaging for all 3 speakers, the mounts for both Mini's, along with manual, grills w/ logo.

Speakers will be well packed and double boxed for safe shipping via FedEx.

Paypal payment (no fee) or USPS money order (only USPS).

Asking $270 + shipping for the set.


I will post pics soon, including a pic of the tiny dent on the one tweeter.

I tried, but could not get a photo showing the sticky residue. You have to be in just the right lighting to see it.

Still available alphaii?
I decided to hang on to these for now... they've been working well for me in my bedroom.

I do have have a pair of used black RC-10's on the way to try in my bedroom. I'm not sure if I want or need to go with the larger speaker in there... but snagged the RC-10's since they're so hard to come by these days...

Either the Mini's or RC-10's will stay, and the other pair will be up for sale.

Thanks alphaii! I ended up snagging two pairs of Energy RC-Minis in Gloss Black (preferred color) on ebay for $300/pair. I am now looking for the ideal center for a 5.1 bedroom system (paired with an AV123 X-Sub).

Concurrently, I am sitting on three pairs of Energy RC-10s and two Elemental Design A3S-250s, and am waiting on my receiver (Denon 3311) to show up for the main room.

Any suggestions on going matched center (picking up one more Energy RC-Mini for $200 @ Amazon) vs. dedicated Energy RC-Mini CC on ebay (~$175).
