This is a stupid low price for an amazing set of speakers! I have these! I thought they stopped making them a long time ago after Klipsch bought Energy. I bought mine on eBay piece by piece

This seems absurdly cheap - and a 5 year warranty? Is this old gear? There speakers were reviewed circa 2006... these are the latest version?

I would snatch this up and add a nice sub

Yes these are the newer Klipsch version, not original Canadian ones.

It is a box of 2.
The are not sold individually. I am not sure why the Adorama listings are so confusing.

These are newer production runs.
I am not sure why. I believe their may be very solid plans to revive Energy and releasing these may be part of regaining Brand awareness. It may have been part of the deal with NEAD. JAMO is also part of the deal and will be releasing a number of new models with the intent to revive the brand as a HiFi brand and not Ikea esque.

All Energy RC-XX speakers were made in China. The were never manufactured in Canada.
The speaker line was announced in 2005 and rolled out in late 2005 and 2006.
Klipsch bought Energy in 2006.
These were basically manufactured while in Klipsch control for most of the speakers run.
There is no 'newer Klipsch' version, that said the original Energy company performed quality control on the product line in Canada before passing the speakers on to vendors.
I would suspect quality control went down when that stopped and all QC was done in China back in 2007.
Now it is likely back up as manufacturing costs are so low and the ability to produce high quality products at scale so commonplace it just comes with the territory.
I wouldn't worry and Klipsch does not own the brand anymore but they may be manufacturing them for NEAD right now.

These are an older design they did measure very well back in original objective testing from mid 200X, it would be nice if Erin's Audio or someone would receive a pair to test.

Is this a decent set to get started with 5.1 at this price point? I have 0 knowledge or idea where to start as far as "piecing together used gear" like most people say to do for budget builds. Just looking for something that sounds decent out of the box to start this home theater journey.
