For $269, this seems like a pretty interesting option for someone who wants a real 5.1 setup without spending a fortune. The speakers are tiny, but that 240W sub looks like it could do most of the heavy lifting. Anyone here actually used the RC-Micro system? Curious how it holds up compared to a soundbar.

In about 2008 or 2009 when this first came out (https://www.crutchfield.com/S-eBb...o-5-1.html) it was the bomb, and competed with the Mirage MX surround setup (which was $599 or so at the time - pricey for 2009 dollars). I bought the Mirage MX setup with the tiny 6" sub Mirage had at the time.

I wasn't impressed - I see this more as a bedroom system - you want a surround sound setup for your bedroom or office. At that, it's perfect, because you don't want bulky speakers for such a small room.

I wouldn't use this for a large room, like a big USA living room.

I think this one for $382.50 AC (%15 off) for signing email up - is better. I think it's well worth $113 extra.

I had this system many years ago. Pretty clean sounding little speakers and I love how they look. Obviously as another person said these are better for smaller rooms (bedroom, small apartment). Being this size they don't have a ton of output. Subwoofer integration is also critical since these things have practically no bass on their own.

The only benefit to that system is you won't need an AV receiver. It's inferior everywhere else.

I loved the Energy brand, and got in on their RC-10 bookshelf speakers before Klipsch bought them. Still my favorite brand of bookshelf speakers, and very gentle and clear on the ears. I like it better than my HSU Research HB-1 MK2 bookshelf, but the HSUs are way more powerful and pack some serious bass all by themselves. Both of them are still going strong.

I only need a 2.1 system for my basement workbench area, does anyone have a recommendation for an ultra cheap AVR to pair with these? Buying used just seems troublesome, as you never know the condition or there's no way to test it. AVR with AirPlay capabilities would be amazing. I don't own a TV, so I don't care about those connections.

I guess the alternative is the simpler, no wire, less messy, single speaker HomePod but costs more than this setup. It's rumored we may see a 3rd generation this year.

$269 isn't terrible for this, but I'd only use it at a desktop or in a small bedroom. If you put this in an actual living room of any kind, keep your expectations low.

sub appears to be better. Not sure about the speakers.
