Can't find the RC-LCR in rosenut.. I'll find it one day

Looks exceptional.
Really love the Energy RC Speakers.
Tremendous Sound Quality and a Beautiful look to match.

Add the Pioneer Elite Gear and you have one amazing system.

Keep looking the LCR Center in Rosenut will show itself eventually.

But until then the System you have should give both Movies and Music a very smooth sound.

Nice set-up Pope. I agree with everyone else, there is more dialog than anything else in a movie, and a good center speaker cannot be underestimated. If you find the one you want in rosenut, go for it! But you do have excellent speakers regardless...nice job!

thePope666 · 03-09-2010, 10:41 AM

thanks guys!

I'm really happy with everything so far, but i'm really curious on how much my HT will improve with the matching RC-LCR. I'm hoping to add one within the next year.

My major concern now is wire management

I'm thinking about returning the tower stand that I just purchased last week and getting rid of my current TV stand, so I can replace it with a rosenut tv stand that also holds multiple components. My current stand will not hold an Energy RC-LCR, so might as well upgrade now

You have A nice setup Pope .

What are you worried about with the wire Management . That is the fun part of it

You will like it alot better when you look at your system & not see any wires

I can attest to this. It's why I made a cover for the rear of my open stand, hides my rat nest nicely.

Agree with everyone, nice looking system and your new center will be a nice upgrade when you find it.

Are you kiddin, The center channel is the most important part of your 5.1/7.1 set. More then 70% of any movie soundtrack is played thru your center channel.

You will see a huge improvement with the matching center channel over what you have now.

When I started out, I was using my center channel from my quintet III's next to some F2's. At the time I wondered the same as you, "What if"?

Don't get me wrong and I'm sure you feel the same way I did, that your center channel is doing a fine job with your current towers.

I ended up buying the larger C3 center channel and I was loving it, people that came by would notice the difference also.

By the way, Nice setup you have in both room!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice mains!

Hammie · 03-09-2010, 09:44 PM

I agree with HAMP. Get the next best color for your setup. Maybe black. The center is where it is all at in movies. unless, of course, you are more of a music fan.

thePope666 · 03-10-2010, 06:47 AM

Thanks guys for all your input. What do y'all think the odds of me finding a RC-LCR in rosenut under $500? The price for the center is almost as much as my 2 towers combined

eyekyu · 03-10-2010, 07:17 AM

does it need to be an energy center? how about a center with the same size mids

SeanMF · 03-10-2010, 12:52 PM

Love the finish on your speakers. Nice setup!

Yes, it does have to be an energy center.

I would keep my eye out on AUdiogon. There is a Cherry RC-30/LCR setup for sale right now for $1200. I know that is more, but you could always turn around and sell the fronts.

that is a pretty good deal but i'd prefer to find a rosenut center since all my others are in rosenut. I got my RC-10's off of audiogon so i'll keep my eyes open.

go onto Energys website and look for local dealers in your area and see if any of them have access to the Rosenut color

I'm only showing one place in town and they only have black ash. This is getting frustrating. The mini will do until the day i do find the rc-lcr.

You can get those wires under control in an afternoon's time (or maybe two). It took me a few sessions to get my cables the way I wanted them.
