Energy speakers

I unfortunately live in southern Indiana, so, no deal. They look sweet though

I'm curious, which ones did you get?

I'm looking for towers in particular. My fronts are bookshelves, and I want something with really solid bass response. I'm moving into an apartment, and my sub is pretty beastly. I'd like to have something to use in 2 channel without needing to rely on a sub for the lower frequencies. I know towers won't move air quite the same as a solid sub, but I'd like for the neighbors not to kill me lol. I'm looking for well defined but not aggressive highs, a clear midrange, and solid punchy bass. I don't need Cerwin Vega levels of bass, but plenty enough to support the sound musically. I'll plug my sub back in for home theater, though. :)

I threw out Energy because of all the research I've been doing lately, and their stuff seems like they would pair well with my current fronts, which would be repurposed as surrounds. For budget, I'll say under 5k. I'd love to hear some suggestions! though!

@bubba_buoy  I was actually eyeballing both the RC-70s and Veritas 6.3s. Smooth is the name of the game for me, so that definitely helps. Though, Energy still lists both models on their website. Are they current, or has their site just not been updated in awhile?

@secretguy I don't think Klipsch is bad at all. Sure, the reference line is pretty basic, but the reference premiere series and heritage lines are excellent for what they are. If I were putting a system together strictly for home theater, I probably would use Klipsch exclusively. I only like bright speakers for cinematic purposes. Gives me that IMAX vibe that's nostalgic.

All of you, thank you so much for your input! For anyone that's heard both the more recent reference connoisseur line and the Veritas line, how do they compare? It seems the newer Veritas models are a hair brighter that the reference connoisseurs.

@soix those specs look really interesting, and I wonder what these would sound like in person. I think the crossover design is pretty neat for sure. Also, the fact that it stems from a McIntosh design is interesting.

@jfuquay which model was it? I was reading about a model that did sound kinda harsh.

@tablejockey I have some b&w DM601s, a def tech powerfield 15+, and an Integra DTR 30.6 powering everything.
