I might be able to pick up some used Energy C6 speakers for around 400.. and I have been trying to research them, but there isn't a whole lot about them. This surprises me since they seem to be good from the specs I've found, and they are not that old.Anyway, Have people here used them? Anyone still use them?
My only use for them would be music, and I have found some people saying these speakers are great for HT, but what about music?
I was going to upgrade my sub for about this much money, but I am thinking I can get a better improvement in my sound system with these speakers instead.
Also, I will probably haggle down from 400 since I quite frankly can't spend 400 dollars right now.. so perhaps these become more worthwhile at a lower cost?
Follow Ups:
I didn't own the Energy C6. But FWIW, I did own the Energy C4.To me, the C4 is pretty typical for a Canadian speaker: midbass hump, neutral midrange and treble, fairly wide dispersion, good imaging and soundstage, good detail: an overall sonic bargain for the price. Unlike some Canadian speakers, the C4 didn't seem to have a laid back upper mid/lower treble region.
The cabinets of my speakers seemed to be fairly solidly constructed. Knocking on the parts of the front baffle and side panels closest to the drivers produced dull thuds. The other parts of the cabinet dind't sound quite as dull, but they still didn't sound very resonnant.
The exterior finish of my C4s was subpar compared to other speakers of similar price: the glossy, fake wood finish looked like the type of unconvincing, fake wood trim you can find in some midprice cars, and there was a tiny amount of flash left on the (molded plastic?) front baffles of both speakers.
Assuming that the C6s you're interested are in mint condition, $400/pr seems to be a good deal, but I wouldn't rule out used PSB Image or Paradigm Monitor series speakers.
I've owned C6's for 3 years. I'm very happy with them. It's funny you're looking for a pair because I'm selling mine too! I've got the upgade bug and I don't have the room to keep the C6's or else I'd keep them for HT.
I'f you'd like to chat more about them, email me:

Well, I am only interested in these to be picked up locally. Sorry. Hopefully you aren't saying that they are good speakers just to sell your own. :)I am not assuming that you are, but you can understand my aprehension.
