NICE Energy RC 70 tower speakers MINT 108 hours

I am selling a pair of pretty much new Energy RC 70 tower speakers. The RC 70 is a highly reviewed speaker and considered best speaker $2000 and under by one publication. These speakers have about 108 hours on them and are in mint shape with all boxes, packing materials, manuals, plugs, spike kits. A gentleman I know had bought two pairs one for himself and one for a family member. That family member never paid for them or even picked them up so they sat in the boxes for 4 years. I bought them more out of curiosity and because I had heard so many good things about was the first to open the boxes and they were brand new. I am happy to report that all that has been said about the sound of these speakers is true. Unlike many speakers today that are hyper detailed and sound like a cold computer these have a rich inviting musical sound. I was impressed. I have owned Vandersteen, Von Schweikert, PSB, ADS Polk ,B&W and so on and these are right in the mix Very balanced. The cabinets are very well made and braced. Problem is I cannot keep everything and I have giant infinity RS 2.5s and kappa's so that is a tough crowd. The RC 70s have 108 hours on them and are in mint shape with all materials. I will ship at buyers expense. Figure $40 to $75 per speaker depending on were you are. Local pickup is welcome. I am in MN Asking $675 Thanks PM for pictures

    These, and their precursor the C-9 are way underrated.

    Outstanding pair of speakers and way, way, way underrated (usually associated with their drop in price from MSRP of $2k once Klipsch bought out Energy) because we all know that an inexpensive speaker cannot possibly sound good. They are deceptive and addicting. lol. Don't say I didn't warn you! :smiley:
