i would buy used if you could. save money. energy was just bought out by klipsch, so energy speakers as we now know it is about to change forever(or not exist). i owned a pair of 2.3i's and really enjoyed them. They were clean and crisp, being a touch bright. the bass was ok, but you would need a sub (for both). I would either buy a pair of 2.3i's used or the RC-50.
Energy Veritas 2.3i or Rc-50
Hello all, first post in Agon, been lurking for a while and in the hunt for new speakers. Finally found the ONLY Energy dealer in Chicago area, a small, somewhat obscure local appliance store. Was disappointed because they don't even stock the Veritas floorstanders, only the bookshelves which sounded great by the way. They only special order the floorstanders so I can not audition them. I would have to order them blindly and then return them if I did not like them. I did, though, get to hear the Energy RC-50 floorstanders and liked them very much. Very comparable to others in the price range or even a little more.
Question is: Does anyone have listening experience with these two speakers?
At almost twice the price are the 2.3i so much better than the RC-50?
Are the RC-50 indicative of the Energy 'sound' in general?
Thanks
