Let me guess, Buy.com. I thought about it to long and that's what I get, nothing

Yep, last Jan/Feb I really wanted the Energys, but it was coming down to the C-C100 or I was gonna shop other speakers. And one night they had it, so I told the wife about it (woke her up to tell her) and then I ordered the Front 3, the C-C100 from Buy.com and the C-300s at wwstereo.com. The best $370 I have spent, now if the best $350 I ever spent will get here soon...(A2-300)

What helped me with the wait was I knew once I got it I still wasn't ready to set everything up as I was still rearranging things around and decided to wait for my vacation to take the time and set it all (HT) up. That was the easy part, the hard part was walking past it everyday for a month

ebay, I haven't seen those in months being sold anywhere. You could try the RC-Rs or the New CR10s(or whatever they are called)

Callas is correct. I just checked too, and those aren't available anywhere on the web.

That's really unfortunate because they produce awesome surround sound. I have four of them in my 7.1 HT system. They were available for a long time at http://www.wwstereo.com for $75.00 each. I bought mine there. I can see why they are not often found on ebay. They are keepers. Even if I upgrade to larger tower speakers which certainly won't be C-series towers, I am hanging on to my C-R100s.

+1. I love them and glad I choice them instead of the C-100.

I love the c-r100 as well what a nice complement for a complete 7.1. Total Experience with most Lionsgate movies 7 discrete channels producing lossless sound is amazing.

I was lucky enoug to find excellent condition floor model in one of my FS and got em for 35$ a pop it retaied at 200$each in Canada.

The C-100 are still good surround and produce such good imaging that even in 5.1 sometimes I think sound is coming from behind me directly.

I have the C-R100 as Back surround for the wider sound field as the c-100 would be to close to me but eventually when I move out of the condo and get myself a house I will use them as regular surrounds.

I agree, the C-100s make excellent surround speakers!!!!!Lots of detail, full sound, a true speaker.

I ordered the Energy Take 5 Classics and was wondering if anyone has used these stands for the rear sat's. Will they work?

Great find! That just came out of nowhere! Or what?

Not the best deals I've seen but not so bad and still far cheaper than original MSRP.

I did a quick search for ThePope666's RC-LCR, and that place showed up, so I looked at their other Energy items, and viola... the entire lineup still available.

I've called them and the RC-LCR and RC-10 in rosenut are sold out. But he did say they're on order and should be back in stock around march. I'm not holding my breath but hopefully they're getting them in.
