The Reference Connoisseur RC-30 features classic Energy design:

  • Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth:  Speakers should reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency dominates any other, Energy ensures that every note is the way it was intended to be—and the sound as natural as possible.
  • Wide and Constant Dispersion:  Sound at all frequencies radiating from the speaker should be in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the listening environment.
  • Low Distortion and Resonance:  While no speaker system is totally without distortion or resonance, Energy has achieved a significantly lower "distortion level"; a clearly audible improvement.

The Reference Connoisseur RC-30 bass reflex, rear-vented floorstanding speaker offers high-performance, real value and great features:

Energy’s attention to detail is clear, highlighted by the cast woofer baskets and tweeter face plate, as well as the high gloss black bases.  Extreme performance inside is matched by the extreme care lavished on the design of every cabinet.

The dual 5.5-inch Ribbed Elliptical Surround woofer configuration, along with the Energy tapered 3-way crossover system, work in tandem with the chambered 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter to give the RC-30 a huge technological advantage. Deep bass, clear midrange and distortion-free treble response—it’s all there. The sound is Pure Energy.

Maximum performance tips

The distance between speakers typically should be 6-8 feet at minimum; any less and the stereo imaging will be quite poor. The optimum room shape should be rectangular, with the speakers along one of the shorter walls, facing the opposite side. Placement directly against a wall is not recommended; corner placement is usually the worst of all possible options. Try to keep the speakers—especially rear vented models—at least two feet from the surface behind it.
