I purchased a set of Energy RC-Rs from eBay but there has been some complications. One of the speakers didn't arrive and I am left with just one speaker. I bought the set for $529, about just as much as I can purchase the QS8s for. I was contemplating the QS8s before the RC-Rs but I purchased a set of RC-50s and RC-LCR and I wanted a full matching set of speakers. I am not so sure now. I am thinking I would rather get a set of QS-8s.

If any of you have any experience with the RC-Rs, please chime in. I tested the single speaker in one channel mode today. The sound was kind of anemic, but I am not sure if that is how a surround speaker is supposed to sound. I really like the energy brand and I am sure the RC-Rs are great for surround duty, but I just have a feeling the QS8s are going to be that much better.

Please help.


Speakers: Energy RC-70s, RC-LCR, RC-Rs and eD A2-300 x 2.
Receiver: Marantz 6006
