I have muchO experience with the line. The speakers where very good and sold well.Hi, I wonder if anyone have experience with a Canadian brand (at least I think the brand was from Canada) named Energy Speakers.
Seems like this brand is No more but were their speakers good? What are your thoughts on their speakers?
These are the ones I have (somewhere in the cellar) but in black I never found any good reviews on these. They also made some satellites CB-50 in same line for the RC-10, i think.The RC-10 was a nice sounding and well put together little bookshelf speaker.

The Pro 22 Reference Connoisseur was the first speaker I ever really lusted after. This was pre-internet so I had the magazine ad on my wall next to a Samantha Fox poster.I still own pairs of Energy speakers (Pro 22
Five of the Energy models have measurements posted from the NRC labs facility, including the NC-10 and Veritas 2.4i (non-S) mentioned above:Hi, I wonder if anyone have experience with a Canadian brand (at least I think the brand was from Canada) named Energy Speakers.

Do you know if the tweeter is removable from the "faceplate"? I looked at a pair on eBay but it looked like the might be permanently attached. I'd probably buy the tweeters just to put in a DIY design if they are removable.Mid dome and tweeter both seem to be mildly horn loaded and nicely integrated. Makes sense these measured well and sounded good:
without the faceplate I wouldn't expect their tweeters to be anything special - at best they are a competently designed aluminum dome tweeters like many others available today on the market. If it was between throwing them in the trash and testing them in a DIY housing you have laying around then yes, I suppose they probably could turn out ok. For my time I'd buy any of a number of tweeters in the $20~50 dollar range that are probably equally good or better. Regarding the housing, yes I probably looked at the same Ebay listing and you can clearly see the two drivers are mounted on that cover plate, but are they bonded on or screwed in somehow - I couldn't tell. There are four screws on each accessible from the front side that probably allows the driver assembly to be removed from it's faceplate, but does the whole back cover come out with it or is that part glued on after the driver core is attached to the faceplate? I'd have to play with it. Since they are OEM the assembly sequence could have been whatever was most convenient for Energy.Do you know if the tweeter is removable from the "faceplate"?
