The Reference Connoisseur RC-70 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 room.
- Low Distortion and Resonance: No speaker system is distortion- or resonance-free, but Energy has achieved a significantly lower distortion level, a clearly audible improvement.
The Reference Connoisseur RC-70 bass reflex, rear vented floorstanding speaker offers class leading standards of performance and great features:
Energy’s engineering team designed the Reference Connoisseur series around the chambered 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and the patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround. Using over 30 years of speaker design experience, our anechoic chamber and the latest in computer software, Energy’s engineers created an audiophile speaker that turns heads.
The RC-70 grabs eyes and ears with high performance that rocks speakers costing thousands more. These towers, with their real wood veneer finish make music come alive, with a look that will draw rave reviews.
Maximum performance tips
The distance between speakers typically should be 6-8 feet at minimum for good stereo imaging. The optimum room shape should be rectangular, with the speakers along one of the shorter walls, facing the opposite side. Wall or corner placement is not recommended. Try to keep the speakers—especially rear vented models—at least two feet from the surface behind it.
