Brother. Broheim. Broencephalitis.

Hook up and place everything where it needs to be. You must have a spare speaker with a positive/negative terminal. If not manually set up the speakers.

You don't need to wait to have every speaker in order to setup what you got.

I bought a set a month ago, but one of the RC70 units arrived severely damaged. I filed for a replacement that same day, but it's been a full month and I'm still waiting. Without it, I can't set up my system at all. The return window for my new amp and subwoofer is about to close, and I'm really worried I won't even be able to test if they work before time runs out.

I bought the RC-70's in 2012 from Fry's for $300 each, RC-LCR for $250, RC-10's for $200.pr

That's $1050 so $799 is definitely a steal.

This is still my main setup for the past 14 years. Highly recommend.

Community Reviews

This Energy RC bundle is a heavy, old-school home theater speaker set that is praised for smooth, neutral sound, strong dialogue, and a premium crossover. The RC-70 towers, RC-LCR center, and RC-10 bookshelves are described as sounding and looking beautiful, with enough output for a full system and a subwoofer recommended for true full-range bass. The main concern is shipping and quality control, with repeated reports of damaged boxes, damaged towers, and replacement mix-ups through Adorama. It is a compelling package if it arrives intact and you want a serious speaker setup.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. Multiple comments describe damaged RC-70 towers, broken foam, wrong replacement speakers, and slow or confusing RMA handling, so the main risk is receiving damaged stock and dealing with difficult support.

  • The RC series is described as more neutral than warm, with even frequency response rather than exaggerated highs and boomy lows. Some listeners still find them too bright or sibilant and lower the treble to suit their room and taste.

    Zorba1446Dinnerleesprungbhotdogday49

  • Yes. The RC-10s come as a pair, with two speakers in one box, so the bundle includes two bookshelf speakers rather than one.

    YosemineAfroGTZorba1446silversurfer66

  • At $799 it is described as basically MSRP, while $749 is noted as $50 below the normal discounted price. Long-term owners call the system a steal at these prices and say it has been their main setup for years.

    SharpBelieve5057BrokeAssDadAfroGTprismx

  • A subwoofer is strongly recommended for solid full-range performance, especially for home theater. The speakers can sound good on their own, but adding a sub fills in the low end they do not fully cover.

So I did some research. It sounds like that the internal components might be the same as orginal. Im noticing some things though. Is it a vinyl wrap now not real wood veneer. I can live with that. The weight of the orginal tower was 60 pounds. The listing here says 60 pounds for the pair? And last does it only come with 1 bookshelf speakers and not a pair? I've been on the fence about these and was only hesitant because it would be a downgrade in size from my tsi500 but would gain in sound quality. Now I'm noticing these little details. Anyone bought a set at the 750 price and could answer any of those concerns I would appreciate it

The RC-10's ONLY come as a pair but people somehow don't believe it. Two speakers in one box. They don't sell them individually as a single speaker.

If you have no use or room for them sounds like you're throwing away $801.43

I have these RC-70 speakers for about 8 years now. They sound great.
I have an Energy CC-10 center speaker but want to update to the RC-Center.
I wonder if the Energy RC-LCR (center channel speaker) is discounted as well. It shows that its $250, does anyone have a discount code just for that?

It's not really necessary to bend over backwards just to get a same-brand/series center speaker...don't drink that audiophool kool-aid. Try out a good center from a different brand, from a vendor with free returns. Take it back for a no-fuss refund IF you actually hear any deal-breaking "timbre" mismatch. If you don't, kiss that old wives' tale goodbye.

I bought this when it was $799. One tower arrived slightly damaged and they offered a replacement or refund of $60. I countered for $150 and they offered $120 which I accepted. Yesterday I got them to price match and got another $50 off. They sound much better than my current Polks (tsi300/tsi100/cs2) which I offloaded for $250 on marketplace so this was a sweet deal for me. Thanks!

Yep, Polk's entry level speakers are mostly horrible. They don't start offering decent speakers until you get to their upper/mid tier line, the Reserve series. These Energy speakers punch way above their weight, and at these sale prices are truly a no-brainer.

You could try other codes from other sales, some have gotten lucky that way.

Not a bad idea getting the matching center though.
People often recommend using the same speaker for your LCRs for a reason.

That's not a surprise, these are a higher entry level than those Polk's.
Pretty good job getting $250 for them.
