What distinguishes the RC speakers is the lack of coloration and distortion, i.e., the tonal balance is very neutral, voices and instruments sound smooth, natural and clear. The sound quality is consistent across the product line, matched much better than other company's. The tiny RC10 sounds very much like the big RC70, except a little shy in the bass, but there is enough that many marveled at how big its bass sounded. Putting on the grilles softens the treble a bit. They're magnetically attached, could be easily removed or reattached as one feels like, no worry about breaking some mechanical clips. The appearance also changes with the grille off. The silver/black drivers set in real wood veneer gives an aggressive "robocop" kind of look. This is very practical if a driver ever needs to be replaced. All that's need is to take out a few screws and the driver can be pulled off from the front. I actually had to do that once. Energy sent me a 6.5" driver and it took just a few minutes to make the swap. Were it not covered by the 5-yr warranty, the cost would have been about $60, minimal sum in hi-fi repair. So as long as the company lives, one doesn't need to worry about the RC speaker ever dying. I don't think I'll ever have to think about "upgrading" this 7 speaker HT system.
The tonal quality of the RC70 is actually not that different from the Carver. Both are smooth and neutral. I've found myself using the RC system more and more for listening to music as there are growing numbers of concert DVDs and multichannel music recordings available (SACD, BluRay Audio, DVD Audio, etc.) For most music, the RC70 has a bass that's good enough. The spec goes down to 31 Hz, but that's at -10db level. It could benefit from a subwoofer. I use a Mirage BPS-150i, which is my first and last sub. It works with the RC70 nicely both for music and movies. It doesn't cause an earthquake in the house, but more than my spouse can stand.
Many owners of RC speakers commented that they're incredible value. They seem to have a small random supply that would suddenly appear and then quickly sold out. In recent years, they're offered at a fraction of their original MSRP, and so nothing else could approach that quality/price ratio. Klipsch bought the company but didn't really market the orphaned products to meet the demand. RC70, RC-10 and RC-LCR are still shown on the company web site as current products. I think they actually taken off for a few years and brought back from the grave. This is very rare except for special products that have a real following. I suspect if Klipsch markets the RCs properly, make them widely available, they may take a lot of sales away from other more profitable speakers.
They are ELITE as a two-piece set-up with high quality music and amps. They spoil you with a wide, gorgeous sound stage. Everything sounds perfectly reproduced. Ports plugged or not, bi-amped, w/ a sub or without...whatever... they just sound AMAZING.
You simply cannot go wrong. I have heard a lot of the speakers in this size and range and the RC-70s take a back seat to none. I like Energy bookshelf speakers a lot, and have owned a couple pairs. First CB-20 (great), then RC-10 (insanely great), so having been introduced to the Reference Connoisseur series by the bookshelf, had great confidence in this buy. There are pro audio reviews online comparing these to $5,000 pairs of speakers, favorably.
I have envied Def Tech big dogs, and many others. I have now found my muse. These are amazing. At a discount they are INSANE. The tweeters (subtle, highly accurate, clear but not horn-y or overly bright) and mids are dramatically good, the bass is solid, clean, and full. I do have a subwoofer but the bass of the RC-70s is clean, deep and plenty beefy on the speakers alone. They do seem to have a break-in period, which I originally doubted even exists, but which many people observe and which Energy mentions in their literature.
They just get better and better. Best decision I have ever made regarding speakers.
*Edited: with additional time, I am even more in love with these! They never fatigue your ears, they just open up and sound amazing. All music is good. Well-recorded, good sources will shine. All genres too. So glad to join the Cult Of Energy! Consider me a fanboy. Buy with utmost confidence.
Google the SoundStage review, and the Sound & Vision review, of these speakers...so, so, good.
