Energy Speakers RC-10, RC-LCR

[goldenwings]

I'm lookig for a trio, (center and a couple of bookshelf for surrounds), one of the options I have are the Energy RC-10, RC-LCR, these are cheaper than others like Paradigm, Klipsch, and sounds good, but since are in different stores is difficult to decide about wich set sounds best.

And, since I couldn't find any commentary about Energy, I want to ask if anybody in the forum can give me any info about this brand (and if is possible about these models).

thanks

RC10 and RC LCR are pretty tough to beat. You'd have to go to the Paradigm Studio series to match that.

I am familiar with the sound quality of most Energy speakers. I can tell you if you prefer more apparently crisp highs and deeper lows the Klipsch will appeal more to you. The Energy RC series are more neutral and accurate but that may or may not be your preference. They are typically priced in between the Paradigm monitor and Studio series speakers.

I have a pair of RC-10's that I use for my 2.1 setup and am quite happy with them. So, as surrounds, I would say that you wouldn't go wrong at all by using them. I haven't heard the RC-LCR though.
