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

Hello, Just an FYI. I have seen these speakers going for between $1900.00 - $2000.00 through alot of dealers on the net. I have also come across a few dealers that are selling demos at a discount and are no longer going to sell the Energy line.
