Energy RC-70????

Local guy is pushing these speakers as his favorite brand. Haven't had a demo yet. Also considering Paradigm studio 100s, or some used Martin Logan Aeon i.

What is your opinion on these choices?

Haven't heard the Paradigms either, me neighbor has Logan Aeon i and cinema center and I think it sounds great.

Room is about 13ftx20ft with vaulted ceiling, all chocolate brown dedicated movie room.

It will be used about 95% for moves and 5% music

Also considering using a separate processor and amp to run the speakers

I wouldn't do that. I just was checking if any of you thought Martin logan electrostatics would be a bad idea if the room is too narrow not allowing enough airspace around them. I have heard they have a small sweet spot so they wouldn't sound as good to others in the room who weren't sitting in the "perfect seat."

Do you guys think the outlaw 200 watt/channel amp would be too much for my room or should I go with the 140 watt/channel amp?

Thank you Loomisjohnson. I just wanted to make sure the energy speakers are in the same league as the other two before looking into them further. I'm very excited in a couple of weeks I'll get to demo them.

Got to listen to B&W CM9 pair and was impressed with their detail and clarity. I could get into these used with a CM center and ds3 surrounds for about the same price as the rc70/rclcr/rcr setup new. I'm still waiting to hear the rc's, hopefully the dealer will have a set to demo soon, but I'm tempted to just get the CM9's.

Do you guys feel that CM9's would compare to rc70's?
