This deal is back, grab it while it's here.

If you were considering that JBL Studio 6 deal.
This is well reviewed and very comparable.
Especially when you consider you get 5.0 for close to the price of ONE JBL!

Wow these are old speakers. I had some years ago and they are not bad. Where did they find these!

yes if you have the room - this is a step up in quality from that line of speakers

The astronomical leap in performance and quality these system provides over the Jamo systems that pop up here all the time should make this an instant buy if you're in the market.

Been using my 7.1 set from when Fry's was clearancing them out and they're still going strong.

I'd buy these just for the floor standers if I had room to use one as a center.

Well to be fair the Jamo system is a 5.1.2 for almost half the price!

It also got decent reviews & received Best Buy home theater system from EISA in 2018-2019!

Here is a review from same source db999md provided for this system.
Keep in mind, it's based on the $1500 price tag!

I have been looking and scrutinizing speaker systems for a budget home theater setup for a while and just spent the last 3 hours looking at various websites and using several ai agents to do deep research into them and (for my purposes) integrating them into a proper 5.1.2/5.1.4 atmos setup. after exploring and finding these measurements https://www.soundstagenetwork.com...rgy_rc_70/ I decided to pull the trigger. comparatively LOTS of speakers in this budget audiophile realm have a v shaped house curve which I'm personally not into. klipsch has built their brand on this "energetic" sound signature and I'm honestly not a fan. this CERTAINLY comes down to preference (if your preferences differ, please select speakers that reflect them), but I prefer a target that's somewhere between a neutral (flat) and harmon (which has a little more bass and a little high rolloff so as to not be fatiguing). I don't mean to berate them, because it is a preference choice, but I find the tuning on the klipsch RP line to be fatiguing and I know i'd want to EQ the highs down a bit so they aren't as "shouty"... meanwhile, these energy speakers aren't perfect, but they're pretty darned flat, and I think that with room correction and some subtle eq tuning I can get exactly what I want out of them so I ended up pulling the trigger. https://www.soundstagenetwork.com...rgy_rc_70/

all I need now is to find a solid receiver to drive them with, and a quality budget subwoofer - and later on, I'll have to get some heights... I'm actually thinking about doing the c-note diy speakers as heights due to their incredible value (they measure pretty decently (particularly when crossed somewhere around 80-100hz), they have good directivity while also having good dispersion, and they have relatively flat response similar to the energy speakers so I think they'll integrate well when i'm ready (I also don't mind building speaker kits and it should be a fun time, I have electronics and building experience).

between what I can do with room correction and eq on whatever receiver I pick up and measurements with rew and my calibrated measurement microphone, I'm confident that I should be able to tame and integrate these to make for a very tasty listening experience.

I purchased this back in April. My speakers were new production with 2025 date codes. Nothing about them seemed like new old stock from the packaging to the speakers themselves.You'll be hard-pressed to do better for a strong music+HT 5.0 set at this price point. I had an old 5.1 satellite system before - this is in another category entirely. I've since paired mine with a Speedwoofer 10e.

Energy (and the other sister brands like mirage) were bought by Klipsch back in 05 or 06. Since Fry's went belly up you don't see them often, but Klipsch has been continuously producing them since then.

Just paired these (original center and backs but new RC-70 fronts replacing RC-30) with a Onkyo RZ-30. After a weekend of sound correction and DIRAC tuning this system has come to life more than I ever expected out of it. Outstanding setup!
