This deal seems way too good, dunno, something seems odd, like where did they come from ?
Same, back when I got mine at Fry's they were "the last stock available". Did someone find a warehouse full of them or something? Or are these some overseas knockoffs? haha.

I bet they're legit, it'll be interesting to see pictures of what people get! I'd love to see them, I still have mine setup as my music setup in the living room.

posting some photos. these appear, to the best of my abilities, to be old stock. someone with better abilities as far as deriving dates from serial codes may be able to confirm. I could not find any references to dates in the bundled manuals / warranty cards. However, I can confirm there is no reference to klipsch anywhere, as there is in the newer literature provided on the energy website.
also confirming serial codes on product match the serials on the packaging, as suggested by the energy website to confirm legit product. (https://www.energy-speakers.com/u...r-warning/)
i do not appear to have permissions to post images here, so i will have to post a link to an image gallery: https://postimg.cc/gallery/RzqQhyr
if link doesnt work or expires. serial on plate for RC-70B-1 is 25460859. Product UPC code is 629303110119. EAN code is 0629303110119. Serial on packaging is 1101125460577

I just looked at mine, they look the same except the sticker at the bottom is different. Nice!

Ignore the dust lol

I see your serial starts with 254, mine starts with 143. So maybe yours are a newer build? I don't remember when I got mine in relation to the rush on them, maybe I was earlier and got an older set if the numbers are sequential? Or the serial means nothing about timing lol

I'm somewhat confident that the serial number starts with YYWW, so 2546 means they were made in Nov of last year.

Clark Kent has a set from Oct 2014.

I'd almost agree but I found this set on ebay with a serial that starts with 4041, which doesn't quite align: https://www.ebay.com/itm/397467811223

Ah that's not a bad theory, so they did make them again.

March 11, 2015. I still have the pickup email from Fry's haha. It doesn't have the price though so I don't know what I paid for them, I was trying to find that the other day.

It's possible there are two different serial number systems, one pre klipsch before 2006, and one after. Afterwards does seem to match the YYMM system. Here's another pic from a reviewer on Amazon that purchased in 02/2021 and the serial appears to be 1921. https://m.media-amazon.com/images...rVmT+L.jpg
I think any more confirmation would have to come from other users here who have older sets and can compare. Visually they look identical, down to the serial plates.
I could try opening up a speaker and taking a look inside, though I may need guidance on what to look for.

I can't speak on this deal specifically, but I've had this brand of speakers for over 20 years. They sound great, and I've never had an issue with them.

I would say just enjoy them. When you get them unboxed, I'd love to see some pictures of the front and the cones (without the grill) to see how they look.

Quote from supermanrob :
They don't sound similar and IF they were an improvement would be personal choice after listening side by side.Never listened to them side by side but generally speaking it's a side move.Depending on what needs improvement, other than center which sounds like you corrected.I would suggest checking the implementation of speakers especially subs.Room is a major factor in performance also. You might want to see what you can do there.The Sony kinda handcuffs you with parallel sub outs and not very versatile room correction imo.
Do you really think that magnat and rc70 are comparable? If that's the case, the 2 magnat 2002 towers deal for $300 that's still available is the better buy, espectially if you don't need all 5 speakers.
