These have been the best speakers I've owned, and they really are good any everything. All music types, HT works great, dedicated stereo with or without a sub, records, lossless hifi, etc.
The best thing about this speaker line is the great detail you get but without fatigue. They have a warmer sound that never gets tiring, and use their full range to represent detail well.
I have much more expensive setups since my original purchase, but I still use the RC-70s in my nicer stereo system, also paired with Marantz.

It's been in the box for 10-12 years and for $hit and giggles I opened up the plate amp a couple weeks back to have a look at the "BASH" amp. Nothing obviously burned / bulging (caps) but for $25 I'm replacing most all the caps and a couple voltage regulators with high quality Japanese components. Crossing my fingers. Worst case I'll get a $50 Fosi mono amp and by-pass the plate amp. The ESW-V8 (Veritas Line) is leagues better than the 8" Take sub.

For those not familiar, the Energy RC line made use of acoustic research that was subsidized by the Canadian government, or a CA university/research firm that I can't recall. At the time, this benefited all the major CA brands and they went on to produce some fantastic speakers from Energy, PSB, and Paradigm. I compare my RC-70s to my friend's Paradigm Titans from the same era, honest speakers with a laid-back signature. We both use Marantz equipment, though, so the high roll-off may be playing a part. I never got my hands on a nice set of PSBs to test, but I imagine they do well, and have a similar fiber(often kevlar) weave to their woofers.
