Seadweller,
Haven't heard the RC-Minis that you bought, but have heard and liked the RC-10s which is the next step up in the Energy's Reference Connoisseur line. This line is a redesign and a big step up from Energy's popular Connoisseur line of speakers while keeping a similar price point of the old Connoisseur line. I think these speakers are an excellent audio value and compare well with many monitors in less than thousand dollar range. As matter of fact, I heard them along side the popular NHT Classic 3 and for my ears, liked the RC-10s better.
